Having heard the Town Hall and actually watch Trump speak as Anderson spoke...I still believe that Trump was referring to a mandate as to regards of pre-exisiting conditions. Perhaps you have a different interpretation. At the time of the broadcast, that was my take away. The Person that asked the question was also satisfied with the answer...so I assume that the audience member asking was satisfied that Trump was also referring to pre-exisiting conditions.
All I can say these days, with all the candidates everyone is taking the role of examining the entrails of chickens to divine the true meaning as to what was said by whom and when.
I will admit that Trump does not speak in a very direct manner.
If your takeaway of the conversation is different than mine, so be it.
Have a good night.

And how can a mandate on pre-existing conditions work? Now everyone can stay off health insurance, then wait until they get sick and then buy it?
There’s a reason Romneycare and Obamacare fine you for not having insurance. They had to in order to force the insurers to cover pre-existing conditions. They have to give people an incentive to get insurance, otherwise people simply won’t sign up until they’re ill.
Trump’s liberal dream of universal health coverage is an unworkable pipe dream without having an either partial government takeover of health care like Obamneycare, or complete socialized medicine. The government HAS NO BUSINESS making universal health coverage its goal. That is either socialism or it’s a legal mandate that will put insurers out of business in about 24 hours after passing.
Thank you your statement was most elegant, and well thought out. I disagree if in nothing else that djt, answer was a ramble but I have heard nor read anything from him on the subject with any more clarity.
To be most honest few things of complexity or import that he has spoken on have be very clear.
Mostly boosterism and self congratulations is what I have read and heard for the man.
