Trump’s past positions are for AWB and socialized medicine and his current position is government-paid health coverage doled out like food stamps for everybody who “needs” it.
No President should “rebuild the private sector.” That’s liberal Keynesian theory, stimulus packages, which Obama and the Democrats love...and also Trump!
CAVUTO: Are you for this Obama stimulus that was signed into law today?
TRUMP: Well, something had to be done. And whether it’s perfect or not, nothing is perfect. And it’s a whole trial-and-error thing, Neil.
...
TRUMP: Neil, when you look at the banks, had trillions of dollars not been poured into the banks, you would have an insolvent banking system, and then you would absolutely have 1929. They did the right thing.
I am sick of your scummy lies. Is Ted Cruz campaigning on getting rid of Medicaid? Because if he is, he damn well better announce it soon. If he isn’t, stop holding other candidates to a standard that yours won’t ever even come close to living up to.
THIS IS TRUMP’S HEALTH CARE PLAN:
https://www.donaldjtrump.com/positions/healthcare-reform
It is a ground-breaking reform plan that actually could solve not just the problems introduced by Obamacare, but the problems that have been going on in health care/health insurance for the past 30 years.
There are ideas in that plan that have never been put forth by any other candidate and will move this nation sharply toward a true free market in heath care.
No more lies from you. Everyone is sick of it. And while you’re at it, how about giving us Ted’s health care plan. Oh, he doesn’t have one? We don’t need a ‘plan’, because his supposed ideology will solve everything? Bull feathers. Enough of your lies and excuses.
I'm not delighted with the way he has spoken about his health plan; as noted above, he is often inarticulate when speaking off-the-cuff. My take from what he has said is that he would use government to redesign a package of regulations that would remove Obamacare and support the private sector then being able to compete for healthcare insurance business across state lines. The competition would drive down costs and government's role would then be more of just the watchdog to drive out unlawful price-fixing. The businesses themselves would have to drive out waste and make competitive offerings.
As for AWB, there has been a widespread misunderstanding of the term promulgated in the press and the anti-gun movement that saturated the issue some years ago. That misunderstanding as to what consitutes an AWB is currently in the process of being refined. I think most reasonable people would like a ban on certain high-capacity weaponry in the hands of certain individuals like the mentally ill, and I believe this type of restriction what he tried inexactly to articulate. But as for responsible ownership, ccw and sports use, he has been to the wall supportive.

No, that's not what I meant by those words, and not what Trump said or meant. What he means is to remove restrictions and correct imbalances that are now strangling and overregulating the private sector, burdening it with costs and waste and preventing innovation, hiring, profitability and growth. In effect, he wants the private sector to be able to rebuild itself through organic market forces by removing boondoggle regulation, correcting the trade imbalances and also finding ways to encourage business investments within this country instead of offshoring.
As for your comments about the banking crisis, this is not my field of expertise, so I'm not going to comment except to say that the quotes you pulled out referred to a specific banking crisis at a specific time with a specific set of circumstances. They were hindsight comments, not an abstract ideology of what must be done in his opinion for all time. Our system is so distorted, so far from free-market capitalism at this time, that he may have been speaking of a halfway measure necessary at the time, but not desirable as a long-term policy. As I say, not my field. My field is language, and what is actually said vs what those words might or might not have implied or affirmed.
