“I would imagine negotiating insurance for freeloaders at taxpayer’s expense is a little more difficult.”
That freeloader meme is making the circuit now. No one has claimed to have a bleeding heart for freeloaders. Also, a candidate cannot afford to announce policy based on the lowest common denominator.
I just clicked on a google heading that stated that Trump had come out for single payer. So I read it. He did not. He was saying that the government would pay for health care for people who could not afford health care.
Do you really think he would get to first base if, as he says, he thought that the people who could not afford health care should be allowed to die in the streets?
And speaking of freeloaders, who do you think is paying for the health care for the million plus legal immigrants entering the country per year, in addition to the unknown number of illegals entering alongside? Every immigrant entering the United States is either taking taxpayer money (most) or taking an American’s job. There are no exceptions, statistically speaking. Rich people don’t immigrate.
I agree with you, especially on the illegals. Also, I know of a lot of people that can afford nice things but don’t think they should have to pay one dime for healthcare, and they know they can get it for free.
