A position Trump stole from Cruz.

11 months ago...

Cruz’s bill, called the Health Care Choices Act, would allow people to buy health insurance across state lines, long a Republican health policy goal.

According to what you have posted, Cruz’s bill is dated 2015.

The issues paper I linked to earlier states that as early as 2011, Mr. Trump was for using interstate commerce to force insurance companies to cross state lines.

Cruz = 2015

Trump = 2011

Trump wins : )

Donald only beat Cruz by a FEW YEARS. Source: Time to Get Tough, by Donald Trump, p.131 , Dec 5, 2011 Increase insurance competition across state lines

Even if we elect a real president who will get tough and repeal Obamacare, we still need a plan to bring down health-care costs and make health-care insurance more affordable for everyone. It starts with increasing competition between insurance companies. Competition makes everything better and more affordable. One way to infuse more competition into the market is to let citizens purchase health-care plans across state lines. This could be easily accomplished if Congress got some guts and did the right thing. The U.S. Constitution gives Congress control over interstate commerce. But for whatever reason, the Congress has never exercised this power regarding health insurance. They need to.
