Donald Trump Supports the Obamacare Mandate
Red State ^ | 2/19/2016 | Streiff

Posted on 02/19/2016 8:42:04 AM PST by agrarianlady

"COOPER: If Obamacare is repealed and there's no mandate for everybody to have insurance what's to… and why would insurance company not have a pre-existing insure somebody…

TRUMP: I like the mandate. Okay, so here's how I'm a little bit different. I don't want people dying on the streets and I say this all the time. And I say this… Look I did five speeches maybe six speeches today we had a lot of rallies with thousands and thousands of people. I mean we get big crowds. Everytime I talk about this I get standing ovations. The Republican people, they're wonderful people, they don't want people dying on the streets. Sometimes they say, "Donald Trump wants single-payer." Because there is a group of people, as good as these plans are, and by the way your insurance will go way down you'll have better players, you'll get your own doctor."

No. I comfortably can read 4 paragraphs in 30 seconds and write a response in another minute. Your line of argument usually involves a personal attack, steering clear from the matter being discussed. Talk about fanaticism. Have a nice day (and life).

Try reading the actual words, not just putting your own emotion based spin on them based.

And what exactly are we supposed to paying attention to when it comes to Trump's Terifficcare? "Now the new plan is good..." That's what they said about Obamacare. "...it's going to be inexpensive..." That's what they said about Obamacare. "...you'll get your doctor you get everything you want to get..." You mean "if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor?" Sounds amazingly familiar. "...people that don't have any money that won't be able to be taken care of. We're gonna take care of them through maybe concepts of medicare." Rewrite Medicare and change it from a health program for the elderly? Or did he perhaps mean Medicaid? In which case Obamacare tried to expand Medicaid to cover the poor and about half the states refused to participate.

So you tell me, what are we supposed to be listening to. Where in that conglomeration of crap is there a coherent plan for replacing Obamacare with something better?

Obviously you Trumpers don't. You take each and everything the man says as if it were the word of God. Not to be questioned. Not to be pondered. Just accept it at face value, safe in your belief that "Trump will provide. All will be well." But some of us see through all the crap and all the bluster and dare to ask the question, "How?" Really annoys you guys, huh?

Bless your heart that comment made no sense at all. Not to mention it isn’t on topic. Listen to the video if you want to be on topic.

In case no one bothered to listen to the context of the discussion it was not about the mandate to be forced to buy insurance. It was about that small area in Obamacare that says insurance companies must accept those with pre existing conditions. Whether you agree about pre existing conditions or not, at least keep the issue clear.

The requirement that insurance companies accept those with pre-existing conditions is not a "small area in Obamacare" - it is a HUGE cost, and was the very reason for the individual mandate. Repealing If you were to repeal the individual mandate, but not the pre-existing condition requirement, you would destroy the insurance market.

It's why Obamacare must be repealed in full, not piece-by-piece. It's a disastrous house of cards - try to tinker with just one piece, and it will bring down the whole thing.

I like the mandate. Okay, so here’s how I’m a little bit different. I don’t want people dying on the streets and I say this all the time. And I say this… Look I did five speeches maybe six speeches today we had a lot of rallies with thousands and thousands of people. I mean we get big crowds. Everytime I talk about this I get standing ovations. The Republican people, they’re wonderful people, they don’t want people dying on the streets. Sometimes they say, “Donald Trump wants single-payer.” Because there is a group of people, as good as these plans are, and by the way your insurance will go way down you’ll have better players, you’ll get your own doctor.”

Trump — the great communicator of the new millennium — can manage to stretch a few words of mangled nonsense into a whole paragraph with the greatest of ease.

You see, you prove the point I have been making. Trump can say anything and you guys don't care

Wrong. Trump has said several things that concern me.

What's my choice? Ted Cruz?

He's just another politician that has pulled the 'I was for it before I was against it' routine.
