What Trump is saying is that his proposals would drive down health insurance costs so that most people could afford insurance, and then the truly indigent get picked up by the gov’t.

There is NO plan that can work in the present economy: Unspoken but connected is the idea that a truly healthy economy and employment situation would result in a lot more people able to pay for their own insurance.

If you have a better plan, let’s hear it.

The problem with that bit of illogic is....we already had a system whereby the 'truly indigent' got picked up by the gov't. It's called Medicaid. Which is now on steroids, thanks to Obamacare. Going back to the system we already had in place before Obamacare is not a novel, new idea (ie Trump's grand plan). It's what most opponents of Obamacare have been saying all along. Trump is trying to present that as "new". He's a moron.

Unfortunately, there are plenty of people out there that don't know any better that will cheer for "his plan" and think he thought it up all on his own. It would be hilarious if it were not such a pathetic picture of why we're circling the drain....ie LIV/voter stupidity.
