You have come to this thread and lied five times about Trump policy regarding universal health care.
In two of those posts, you posted a link to an article that destroys your charges.

Transcript of interview of Trump by Scott Pelley LINK transcript down below
Scott Pelley: What's your plan for Obamacare?
Donald Trump: Obamacare's going to be repealed and replaced. Obamacare is a disaster if you look at what's going on with premiums where they're up 45, 50, 55 percent.
Scott Pelley: How do you fix it?
Donald Trump: There's many different ways, by the way. Everybody's got to be covered. This is an un-Republican thing for me to say because a lot of times they say, "No, no, the lower 25 percent that can't afford private." But--
Scott Pelley: Universal health care? (note that Trump does not advocate for Universal Health Care at all in response)
Donald Trump: I am going to take care of everybody. I don't care if it costs me votes or not. Everybody's going to be taken care of much better than they're taken care of now.
Scott Pelley: The uninsured person is going to be taken care of how?
Donald Trump: They're going to be taken care of. I would make a deal with existing hospitals to take care of people. And, you know what, if this is probably--
Scott Pelley: Make a deal? Who pays for it?
Donald Trump: --the government's gonna pay for it. But we're going to save so much money on the other side. But for the most it's going to be a private plan and people are going to be able to go out and negotiate great plans with lots of different competition with lots of competitors with great companies and they can have their doctors, they can have plans, they can have everything. (this is the private sector insured)
This is the furtherst thing from single payer Obamacare.
Trump does not support or advocate for single payer universal health care.
Scott Pelley asks Trump if he supports it, and Trump responds with private sector solutions.
A new way of covering the uninsured will be determined, but the government has been paying the bills of the uninsured. He wants to find a better low cost way to do so.
Other than that it's private sector and expanded competition.
This is not universal health care and you know it.I’m really not into flame wars, so the whole attributing motives and ‘you’re lying’ bit is wasted on me. We disagree.
I think your interpretation of Trumps interview is tortured and dissembling of Trump’s statements and positions, though his thinking is so scattered it’s often time consuming to pin him down on just what his plans - if any coherent one exist.
It is quite clear that Trump’s solution is very similar to Obamacare, and that he supports universal government-paid-for heathcare.
>>> “Everybody’s got to be covered. This is an un-Republican thing for me to say..”
Yean, because it is universal healthcare with an individual mandate.
>>Make a deal? Who pays for it?
Donald Trump: —the government’s gonna pay for it.
Government-paid-for universal healthcare. He claims it will be different and private and work because we’ll be so rich. Poorly thought out sloganeering.
But when you get down to the basics of what he supports, it’s still Government-paid-for universal healthcare.
