And you’re right - Trump didn’t say that universal health care works elsewhere “up until” the debate. He said that AT the debate:
“As far as single payer, it works in Canada. It works incredibly well in Scotland.”
So, I’ll ask again. Do you agree with Donald Trump that single-payer universal healthcare “works incredibly well” elsewhere? Or was Trump wrong?
I wouldn’t call them “specifics,” they are more akin to general objectives.
What is it about, “it won’t work here,” that is so hard to grasp? If Trump wanted to push single payer onto the US it would be an issue. Since he stated he does not, your death grip on the subject betrays the bankruptcy of your anti-Trump arsenal.
Oh yes, at every stump speech he made, Trump touted single payer—right up to the debate.
Actually you and Erickson probably believe that is true. There is no limit on what the Trump haters will believe.
The point is that Trump has stated (and recently) that it works well elsewhere. That is flat out wrong, and, worse, it shows Trump’s ignorance on the issue.
You do know that not every Trump opponent is. GOPe stooge like Erickson, right? Just sayin’
Oh no! Trump thinks single payer works elsewhere—BUT THAT IT WON’T WORK IN THE US! We’re doomed!
People vote with their wallets. For Swell to say otherwise is his ignorance.
If you say so, Goldwater conservative.
Part of the process of vetting a Presidential candidate is not just understanding the candidate’s specific positions on specific issues, but understanding how the candidate thinks, both about specific issues and generally.
Here, Trump has made two statements - first, that single payer health care works elsewhere, and second, that it wouldn’t work here. The first statement is dead wrong. The second is logically inconsistent, and reflects a poor understanding of health care economics. Considering that Trump has spoken at length about repealing Obamacare, and has discussed replacing it with his own plan, I think vetting Trump’s understanding of health care is important.
If you are using “Goldwater conservative” as some sort of an insult, then you might be on the wrong forum, guy.
The bottom line is that Trump doesn’t want single payer for the U.S.
Why would you consider it an insult?
Don’t worry. He’ll hire some smart people so that he knows what he needs to when he needs to. LOL
Probably some guys with yarmulkas.
What do yarmulkas have to do with it?
The bottom line is that Trump doesn’t know what he’s talking about when it comes to health care.
If Trump wanted single payer for the US, I would agree with you.
Do some research. That’s who he said he likes to manage his money.
So it follows he’d have the same people advise him on healthcare?
Ok.
