Trump: Unlike Cruz, ‘I Have a Heart,’ I’ll Enact Universal Health Coverage

Abe was President when we were entering a major war, and fighting wars is a legit function of government even if you didn't agree with the Civil War.

In what respect is Trump - more so than any other candidate - going to make us "stronger"? He's no more pro-military than any of them, no tougher on foreign policy. There is this repeated use of the word "WINNING", but I don't see how just using that particular word so much will ensire any more positive results with Trump than it did for Charlie Sheen.

So what, specifically, are the unique policies he has espoused that will make us "stronger"?

[hawkaw]

I know what you mean but I sure hope not. I am hoping most will clue in over time.

[1rudeboy]

That’s why I call Reagan the grandfather of the WTO (and NAFTA). Just to piss you off.

[HoustonSam]

My question is not about the substance of policy. My question is why Trump does not spend his time articulating the substance of policy, rather than dragging the entire nation down into puerile, bombastic nonsense.

[ballplayer]

So Trump agrees with Obama,Hillary and all the other leftists.
Trump wants to give Obama his ultimate goal on Healthcare

[Amendment10]

"The people will not let it happen."

I would say that a whole lot of people simply do not know what is going on.

[Theophilus]

That is such a simple concept, and yet it's obvious some folks don't have the mental faculties to grasp it.

Doughty you know I love ya, but we're all guessing what some guy is going to do if he gets elected and you insult the intelligence of fellow FReepers who guess differently. Why alienate your FRiends?

You (Trump's) simple solution sounds like move water from the deep end of the pool to the shallow end to prevent flooding and even things up. You're right I don't get it.

IMHO we are in free fall toward single payer no matter who wins. It was by design. We've been stabbed in the back. I don't know how we can stop it or fix it becuase we can't change the laws of physics or markets.

Maybe we can pass a constitutional amendment that forbids any government involvement ant any level anywhwere in insurance or healthcare. Otherwise they are taking all the power.

[PTBAA]

There cannot be universal healthcare unless I am made to pay for people who are not in my family.

So Donald will use to the power of government to make me pay for things that he thinks are important. How is he any different than Nancy Pelosi?

“If somebody has no money and they’re lying in the middle of the street and they’re dying, I’m going to take care of that person,” Trump said.

I can see no wrong in that.

[pollywog]

You are SO RIGHT!!!!!!!

[b4its2late]

He’s a blowhard

[pollywog]

.. a great comparrison.
Thank you.

[DoodleDawg]

I can see no wrong in that.

So his plan is to wait until someone collapses in the street before helping them?

[dfwgator]

Well then it doesn't matter does it?

More and more that looks to be the case.

[HoustonSam]

Thank you pollywog.

[pollywog]

That is why so many here have stated it won’t make a bit of difference... TRUMP / Hillary...one in the same mold.

[beandog]

If trump wants to take care of everybody with his own money, I have no problem with that.

[editor-surveyor]

.
He was pushing Canada and Scotland in mid July. Then we got off healthcare for a while.

The two are almost identical.

[TBP]

He praised socialized medicine in Canada and Scotland (oddly, Scotland and not UK) as recently as the first GOP debate. Now he’s advocating it again, apparently.

On this issue, Trump=Sanders.
