Trump said he would fix it...Replace it with something better...
Heres his interview saying hes for universal health care.
Donald Trump: the governments gonna pay for it. But were going to save so much money on the other side. But for the most its 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.
Well then it's not universal healthcare then, is it...You are just as dishonest as Cruz...
Donald Trump: Obamacares going to be repealed and replaced. Obamacare is a disaster if you look at whats going on with premiums where theyre up 40, 50, 55 percent.So you owe Linda Frances an apology. Any reasonable reader of that text would be crazy if they didn't read that as universal healthcare. It absolutely is, at least in that interview, and that's from back last September, IIRC.
Scott Pelley: How do you fix it?
Donald Trump: Theres many different ways, by the way. Everybodys 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 cant afford private. But
Scott Pelley: Universal health care.
Donald Trump: I am going to take care of everybody. I dont care if it costs me votes or not. Everybodys going to be taken care of much better than theyre taken care of now.
Scott Pelley: The uninsured person is going to be taken care of. How? How?
Donald Trump: Theyre 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 governments gonna pay for it. But were going to save so much money on the other side. But for the most its 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.
