Trump said that everybody will be covered and the government will pay for it. Big diff.
No.
Trump said that there would be competition across state lines for insurance and that there would be a government safety net for those who can’t afford insurance.
This plan may not be awesomeness personified, but it’s a heck of a lot better than the disaster that is Obamacare, and for that matter a lot better than socialized medicine.
I know you don’t like Trump, but at least get the facts straight about what he said before attacking him.
That's pretty much what Comrade Sanders is saying.
No he said everybody would be covered, mostly by private insurance. He has talked extensively about allowing companies to compete across state lines to reduce costs and make it affordable. He was asked about people who couldn't afford it, and he said "everybody will be covered". Then he was asked who would pay for it, meaning those people who can't afford it and he said the government. He clearly didn't mean the government would pay of everybody, or there would be no need for competition and companies selling across state lines.
How so? How is it different?
Remember before Obamacare was forced on us- We had great, (not perfect), healthcare-far better than any place where "everybody is covered" and "the government" pays for it.
And the government controlling healthcare in the first place, is a bad idea-Gives government ultimate control over the individual citizen.
A distinction without a difference.
Trump never said that government was going to pay for everybody. But he did say the poor would be taken care of.

The gov’t, taxpayers, will pay for it.
