Oh? So then the country up north opens up to accept them along with the criminals is a good thing?

All this coverage of Trump wanting single payer is fraudulent.

He doesn’t want it, hasn’t proposed it, and has made it perfectly clear he wants robust private sector solutions to health care provision in this nation.

Forbes is being extremely dishonest here, and FReepers who buy into it are just nutty.

Trump has stated he will see to it that state boundaries come down so insurance companies can compete nationally. Is that evidence of support for single payer? No.

He has stated he wants private sector solutions to our health care needs. Is that supportive of single payer? No.

He’s not supporting single-payer for the United States, but neither Forbes or some FReepers have been judicious enough with regard to due diligence, to actually listen to Trumps presentations.

All this flailing about trying to misrepresent Trump does is play right into the hands of his political enemies. Once again for the perpetually stupid, LISTEN UP.

List of Trump Detractors

the Left
Liberals
Socialists
Communists
Democrat leaders
Obama die hard supporters
the RNC
the GOPe
Obama
Mitch McConnell
John Boehner
John McCain
and more of the most vile entities currently existing in our nation

Oh yes, and some of the dumbest FReepers I’ve ever encountered.

Yes, I think his comments on single payer programs outside the U. S. displayed his failure to understand those systems. I’ll grant you that. But that is not what he has proposed for the United States. And that is also a fact.

How sad it is, to watch FReepers exhibit the level of ignorance some do.

They criticize Trump at length, but prove beyond a doubt they haven’t watched ten mintues of him presenting his views.

If they did, they would know what his private sector comments meant, and would see Forbes for the gutter snipe entity that it is.

Folks, what is Forbes? Is it the friend of Conservatives?

Is it closer to Chamber of Commerce and the Country Club Republican, or closer to us?

Just damn...

They move their production facilities to Mexico because the unions force them to pay floor sweepers in the USA $65,000 a year...

Unions or no unions, wages in Mexico are a small fraction of what they are here, and labor flows to where wages are low. It's not a question of smart leaders, it's a question of basic economics.

I like having Trump in the race because, thanks to him, the guys who are for amnesty have to at least pretend to be against it.

But obviously Trump is all over the map on everything else.

So its still Cruz for me.

I did like most of the others, particularly Jindal. Santorum is the only one willing to question *legal* immigration at a million per year. But of course he has exactly zero chance of getting the nomination. Carly handles herself well. Lindsay Graham suddenly decided he was against Obama after years of doing his bidding, so that was a refreshing surprise.

I am really unhappy with the debate moderators. The first debate moderators weren’t that good, the prime time moderators were awful. Can’t we do better?

I could give 2 sh!ts how well it worked, IF it worked that well. It is antithesis to our Constitutional Republic.

I’m not holding my breath to wait for a moderator, let alone anyone running for office, to discuss how they will be getting govt OUT of XYZ...

Hell, if it hasn’t already been, I’d be surprised to see the ‘Abolish the Dept. of Ed’ plank in the party platform!

I only worked there for 15 months, but saw several instances of clear malpractice with no one held accountable. Here’s another example of how the NHS works:http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/nhs/11677561/Stop-Googling-your-symptoms-teenage-cancer-victim-told-before-death.html

Same here. It must be nice to have dual citizen ship. Go up there for free college, come down here for quick and quality health care.

I don’t know about Scotland, but read some proceedings from London on their health care. They were arguing over the wait times for certain procedures in the outlying counties. I forget the exact number but one guy said something like “It is unacceptable that one needs to wait 7 months for a hearing test in xx county, while in London one can get one in three weeks!” For a hearing test!!!

I couldn’t find the article, but below is some mom from England:

“aaanyway. long story short, I am now concerned that he really isn’t hearing properly. I can go and ask to be referred again to the hospital, but last time that took over 6 months and I would like to have it done now.

so can i pay to see a private sudiologist for a child? and if so how do i find one? (a brief google has left me confused)”

I agree! Cruz / Fiorino would be a great ticket.

Trump... there’s something about trump I don’t trust.

I’d say the Canadian healthcare system “works” and also “doesn’t work”. One thing it does is to limit spending on healthcare to some percentage of their GNP, I think.

One of my daughters and her husband and three children lived in Canada for 4 years. The family went to the doctor and dentist as needed. Her husband’s grandmother, a very old woman, got major surgery with no problem.

I didn’t say that. I just said running your country into the ground doesn’t make you smart, as Trump has alleged.

"Trump responded: 'As far as single payer, it works in Canada, it works incredibly well in Scotland.'"

One of many slips of the tongue. It's good to see direct quotes, by the way. Too many publications prefer dishonesty through paraphrasing.

"Must have some smarts when they can force migrate millions north..."

...which Fidel Castro has also done with Cubans. Not so smart, though, in my opinion.

How does one come to that conclusion

Are we exporting drugs and criminals to Mexico?
