Donald Trump for President: Because our liberal has an (R) after his name!

It is fascinating to watch many conservative who fought so hard against Obamacare suddenly support a candidate who believes in even MORE government control of healthcare. Obama's healthcare reform was kids stuff compared to the socialist system Trump envisions:

The goal of health care reform, wrote Trump, should be a system that looks a lot like Canada. "Doctors might be paid less than they are now, as is the case in Canada, but they would be able to treat more patients because of the reduction in their paperwork," he writes.

The Canadian plan also helps Canadians live longer and healthier than Americans. There are fewer medical lawsuits, less loss of labor to sickness, and lower costs to companies paying for the medical care of their employees. If the program were in place in Massachusetts in 1999 it would have reduced administrative costs by $2.5 million. We need, as a nation, to reexamine the single-payer plan, as many individual states are doing.

So now supposed conservatives here are supporting a guy who believes in Canadian style single payer health care?

"...a system that looks a lot like Canada..."

"Looks like" does not mean "is". Do you actually believe a capitalist like Trump would remove the healthcare industry from the private sector? Not a chance. Clearly the industry needs reform and *gasp* fed regulation to reign in costs.

I'll say a couple things about Trump. He's a MF'r of an administrator, and he knows how to delegate. You'd never see a Holder or a Napolitano.

Thanks for posting that. This quote of his needs to be “trumpeted” out to as many sites as possible, and often. Trump is a disaster.
