Donald J. Trump â€@realDonaldTrump 26m26 minutes ago
I was asked about healthcare by Anderson Cooper & have been consistent- I will repeal all of #ObamaCare, including the mandate, period.
I was referring to a backstop for pre-existing conditions. I will eliminate the law, in its entirety, & replace it w/ something much better.
I will replace it with private plans, health savings accounts, & allow purchasing across state lines. Maximum choice & freedom for consumer.
I'm self-funding and I am going to take care of the people – not the special interests and insurance companies like the other candidates.
Remember, Cruz and Bush gave us Roberts who upheld #ObamaCare twice! I am the only one who will #MAKEAMERICAGREATAGAIN!

It’s a beautiful beautiful jug of strychnine cherry the best ever with huge crowds watching it totally beautiful
Donald is like a little boy picking the pedals of a daisy: “She loves me.....She loves me not.....She loves me.....She loves me not.....She loves me.....She loves me not.....She loves me.....She loves me not.....
You are spreading more rumor. You’ve been corrected before. More of that ‘Cruz’ imagination!
Donald Trump: “Planned Parenthood Should Absolutely be De-Fundedâ€
National Steven Ertelt Oct 19, 2015

dozens of articles out there!
Yes, the democrats would love it and that’s why we’re voting them out. As I said, a Republican congress would never go for that (another mandate). If I recall correctly, not one single Republican voted for Obamacare. Not even a RINO.
If there is a Republican president (any Republican that is currently in the top 3) and a Republican congress, Obamacare is gone as soon as is humanly possible. And taxpayer funding for PP or any another abortion provider is gone.
This is a guarantee.
Actually, it's quite difficult. He's obviously a liberal at heart, and he occasionally speaks the truth.
“The idea aka the mandate - is the Republican party idea dating back to Ronald Reagan when in 1986 he signed a law that requires hospitals to treat poor people and undocumented immigrants universally. This became the Dole plan and then onward to Romney care. All Republican plans - ideas thought up by Conservative think tanks like Heritage Foundation.”
Wow.
This statement on FR blows my mind.
Trump supporters be like, Trump supporters be like. But the Trump supporters who be like are the supporters of Trump who be like
I guess that's better. Why can't he just be consistently conservative. Yeah, I know....
What excuse are you going to give us now?
Are you going to insist that we all believe you because you, and only you, know what he meant still?
Probably. The dissonance would hurt too much otherwise.......
" I will repeal all of #ObamaCare, including the mandate, period.
Be careful not to project onto Trump what you wish him to be rather than what he actually is. Trump has talked and acted like a Democrat for the past 20 years. Until 8 months ago he had liberal positions on immigration, abortion, and guns. He still has very liberal positions on taxes, healthcare, crony capitalism, and property rights.
Trump, Bush and Pataki are the only Republican candiates not to sign the taxpayer protection pledge. Every other candidate including moderates like Chrisite and Huckabee signed it.

Trump praised the Obama stimulus when it was proposed. He praised Hillary Clinton when she was appointed secretary of state. He says he has a great relationships with liberals like Schumer and Pelosi.

Trump has zero record of fighting for conservative causes, so why would he suddenly become a conservative warrior once in office? It's far more likley that he is taking token conservative positions just to make it through the Republican primary. After that, his underlying liberal instincts will be unleashed.
They don't maintain it. Nor does it say anywhere in there that anyone and everyone drawing breath must purchase something.
I highly recommend you stop to think it through next time before posting the first thing that somebody hands you. It could save you from looking like a complete fool.
When I brought this subject up in my last post, a commenter (hat tip to Drpete) pointed me to The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA), described this way in a 2012 article in Forbes: “EMTALA, one of the great unfunded mandates in American history, required any hospital participating in Medicare—that is to say, nearly all of them—to provide emergency care to anyone who needs it, including illegal immigrants, regardless of ability to pay. Indeed, EMTALA can be accurately said to have established universal health care in America—with nary a whimper from conservative activists. In response, many health policy types worried about a “free rider†problem, in which people would intentionally go without health insurance, knowing that federal law required hospitals to care for them anyway.â€1 EMTALA inexplicably included no requirement for free-loaders to reimburse hospitals at a later time. It was passed in 1986 by a republican Senate and a democrat House and signed by… Ronald Reagan. The requirements under EMTALA are ostensibly what led to “Romneycare†and inspired the Heritage Foundation and Newt Gingrich to propose government- mandated health insurance coverage, giving liberals and libertarians a fair basis for pointing to “conservatives†as the ones who first proposed health insurance mandates. I don’t know what Reagan and other republicans were thinking when they passed this law. I think it’s fair to say…they weren’t. Now we’re all paying the consequences.
The fact that he walked it back today does not change what he clearly said last night. Any fair analysis of the transcript of the question and his answer will agree that he supported the Obamacare Mandate last night. His staff probably told him that he had to walk it back today.
Also guaranteed is border security. This election is a referendum for border security, repealing Obamacare and defunding PP. Also tax and spending cuts and growing the economy and jobs. We the people are demanding it. That’s why we elected Republican majorities to the House, then the Senate and now a Republican to the presidency. It gets done or else! No excuses!
But first he said he liked the mandate forcing people to have healthcare. Maybe, in the future, he will remember what he believes in and won’t have to use Twitter to clarify. At least until the wind changes anyway.
Maintain means OWN not take care of.

Sec. 34-21. - Heads of households to maintain firearms.
(a)
In order to provide for the emergency management of the city, and further in order to provide for and protect the safety, security and general welfare of the city and its inhabitants, every head of household residing in the city limits is required to maintain a firearm, together with ammunition therefore.
Yeah, I know. I love Cruz, but if he doesn’t make it and Trump does, I’ll support Trump in the general. I think Trump will be infinitely better for America that Hillary or Sanders.
unless Trump vetos with a pen the same as Obama and forces “ Deals” on Congress?? no??
He’s a strong willed man.
He’s not going to veto these things. He won’t want his head handed back to him by a French Revolution.
