Trump clarifies Anderson Cooper remarks on Obamacare mandate
Twitter ^

Posted on 02/19/2016 12:54:46 PM PST by springwater13

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 26m26 minutes ago

I was asked about healthcare by Anderson Cooper & have been consistent- I will repeal all of #ObamaCare, including the mandate, period.

I was referring to a backstop for pre-existing conditions. I will eliminate the law, in its entirety, & replace it w/ something much better.

I will replace it with private plans, health savings accounts, & allow purchasing across state lines. Maximum choice & freedom for consumer.

I'm self-funding and I am going to take care of the people – not the special interests and insurance companies like the other candidates.

Remember, Cruz and Bush gave us Roberts who upheld #ObamaCare twice! I am the only one who will #MAKEAMERICAGREATAGAIN!

"On another thread, I heard another former Trump supporting Freeper say he was all gung ho Trump, until he woke up one morning and finally realized that Trump was left of Mittens."

And Mittens is a better business man too.

"It would still be universal healthcare under Federal mandates/control"

TRUMPcare is better than Obamacare because it says Trump in all caps, gilded with gold leaf. Otherwise, they are the same.

“Trump needs to clarify because Cruz supporters are just not that bright. Not to mention Cruz�€™s constant lies distort things as well. We will see tomorrow who is the best candidate.”

Has anyone else noticed that whenever Trump gets caught with his own words and positions, his supporters always bring up Cruz. Sorry bud, I read what Trump said. It's clear what he said. Cruz didn't make him say what he said. There is not any candidate running that I'm going to agree with on all issues. But like another poster said, he is finding out that Trump is more to the left that Mitt was And if winning an election was the only criteria on whose the better candidate, well, how's that Obama presidency working out?

He never walked it back because he was always there where I said he was. Repeal bamster care, replace with free market principle, make sure no one falls through the cracks. I explained it to you, but you couldn't listen through your rose colored ears. Now that he's clarified it, you still can't get it, and that's sad.

You just wanted to believe what you thought he meant was true.

But you can't admit that.

You really need to read up on cognitive dissonance. It's playing you big time.

So, Trump is going to give us cheaper healthcare, with more choices, that back-stops pre-existing conditions, and no mandate?

You forgot "and everyone will be covered.". But no single payer, you understand."

This whole thing is like a bad joke. Either the people who don't see a major disconnect are ignorant of how health care works, or they're not being honest in defending him. Those are the only two options because what he's promised, combined with what he's disavowed, simply does not compute.

This is notable in that it’s the first time Trump has walked back any of the comments he’s made. He NEVER does that. Instead, whatever he says he repeats again. This is a big deal. Yuuuuge, maybe even. An honest to goodness chink in the armor.

OK I want Cruz, and am disgusted by the crap putting out by either camps, but for you to say Trump does not support Israel is utter B/S.

I am sick and tired of seeing utter lies and crap put out by both camps thinking it will change peoples minds.
FR is a great site, but hardly represents the country and still we have people like you lying thinking it will help their boy.

Trump doesn’t hold 1 genuine conservative belief. He is a fraud.

Here is the simple fix. Get the government lawyers out of our personal healthcare. All credits to be taken off our income taxes for all health related expenses. This removes the lawyers and government from jacking their extortion fees from the healthcare pie. We save billions and it actually helps people with healthcare problems.

Sorry, but I watched the CNN Town Hall (I may be old, but I recorded it on that DVR-thingy and watched it after I woke from my nap). Trump SAID “I like the mandate.” He (or you) can spin all you want to, but don’t tell me that I was fooled by listening to his words.

If by clarification, you mean self-serving spin why would they report it. It’s not like Trump hasn’t come out in favor of Universal government funded health care recently. why is it such a stretch to believe him and take him at face value when he clearly knows what the mandate is or if he doesn’t he’s too stupid to be President

The beauty about trump taking every position on every issue is that everybody thinks he’s right on all the issues. The bottom line is Trump has come out in favor of universal government-funded mandatory health care in the past so when he says it now believe him you know what they say I guess is when a politician accidentally speaks the truth

“I like the mandates”. I don’t care what context it’s in. That one sentence SAYS IT ALL.
