I never denied them. I’d like some dates, places and context. My biggest beef is this OP hit and run crap where they just throw up links to Townhall or somewhere else they can find some fool that agrees with them.
If you’re going to post a thread to discuss, then start out some kind of opinion about what you’re pointing. To do otherwise (which if OFTEN done) is pure cowardly manipulation that benefits some ingrained bias. Like it or not it happens.
Denial has nothing to do with it.
I realize this was a long, long time ago, but here’s a partial transcript from a 60 Minutes interview on September 27, 2015:
Pelley: How do you fix it (Obamacare)?
Trump: Thereâs many different ways, by the way. Everybodyâs got to be covered. This is an un-Republican thing for me to say because a lot of times they say, âNo, no, the lower 25 percent that canât afford private. Butââ
Pelley: Universal health care.
Trump: I am going to take care of everybody. I donât care if it costs me votes or not. Everybodyâs going to be taken care of much better than theyâre taken care of now.
Pelley: The uninsured person is going to be taken care of. How? How?
Trump: Theyâre going to be taken care of. I would make a deal with existing hospitals to take care of people. And, you know what, if this is probablyâ
Pelley: Make a deal? Who pays for it?
Trump: âthe governmentâs gonna pay for it. But weâre going to save so much money on the other side. But for the most itâs going to be a private plan and people are going to be able to go out and negotiate great plans with lots of different competition with lots of competitors with great companies and they can have their doctors, they can have plans, they can have everything.
Doesn’t sound a lot different than Bernie Sanders’ plan to me...
