"The decision to go against the idea of an individual mandate is new for Trump, who told CNN during a February town hall before the South Carolina primary that he 'likes the mandate' and that makes him 'a little bit different' than other conservatives."


This is totally false.   The media misinterpreted what Trump was saying when he obviously inadvertently used the wrong word, then immediately corrected himself.   He was really talking about making sure that no American has to die (meaning anywhere - in the street, in their bed, in the train station, etc.) just because they cannot afford any kind of health insurance.   (That is a very Christian attitude to take, as we know that what we do to the least of our brothers and sisters, we are also doing that to Jesus Christ, because He specifically told us that.)

Others later falsely tried to label that idea "single-payer" - it is not.

The press is doing the same kind of bold-face lying when they try to claim that Trump did not disavow the KKK/David Duke support.   That claim by the mainstream media (and, sadly, some dishonest or woefully misinformed posters on this site) is totally false, and they should all be ashamed for pushing those lies.

Health insurance is not health care.

OK, let’s get real here — NOBODY wants people to die just because they don;t have health insurance. Therefore, what’s the solution?

Obama’s solution is to MANDATE that everyone has one.

Does that mean that there are no people today who are dying and everyone is taken care of now?

RE: Others later falsely tried to label that idea “single-payer” - it is not.

Trump wants ALL people taken care of. Fine, I want that to happen too...

The question is HOW does this get realized without government coming to the picture?
