Have you heard his policies or are you just reacting to the fact that is was divulged that he has them?

He talked about it on an interview a short while back - no Nation will let folks die in the streets due to lack of health care. The poor have to have some way for treatment (not with as large a menu as those who can afford to pay for insurance) and we need to take care of our veterans - it's obnoxious that we need "charities" like Wounded Warrior or Paralyzed Vets to help make end meet for them and get them the care they deserve.

He has his head in reality and would open it up to let the market do what the market does when you remove Federal obstacles to the process.

Knee-jerk reactions w/o getting the full info are going to kill us - we become the lo-info voters we sneer at on the Left.

I read it on his website. Surely that should be what we base our discussion on, wouldn't you agree?

The poor have to have some way for treatment (not with as large a menu as those who can afford to pay for insurance)...

And according to his website he is proposing on expanding Medicare and Medicaid to do that. Well Medicare is for people 65 and older only. Any poor person unable to afford healthcare is covered at 65 regardless of income. And an expansion of Medicaid was one of the provisions of Obamacare, and about half the states in the country opted out of doing so. Why would Trump's plan cause them to change their minds?

...and we need to take care of our veterans - it's obnoxious that we need "charities" like Wounded Warrior or Paralyzed Vets to help make end meet for them and get them the care they deserve.

We have a whole cabinet department dedicated to that.

And it's because the market will do what the market does that means that his proposals to sell across state lines won't do much, if anything, to reduce prices.

Knee-jerk reactions w/o getting the full info are going to kill us - we become the lo-info voters we sneer at on the Left.

Like I said I base my opinions on what Trump put on his website. How much more info can I get?
