He was also referring to Obamacare when he said this.

Thanks to 0bamacare, which the GOP just enshrined by merely tweaking it instead of repealing it.

What I realize is that certain people on this forum resort to name calling other Freepers (Freepers that voted for Trump and are supporters) because they point out a legitimate fact that happens not to praise something Trump did.

I find this juvenile hero worship that refuses to accept even the most benign criticism of their idol intellectually lazy and just plain silly.

" ---otherwise their industry will be wiped out when the country goes single payer."

I envision an ultimate end result being a Medicare for All single payor with the private insurors bidding on becoming claims administrators for the government for a guaranteed return with little or no risk. Actually a win for the existing insurance companies, a guaranteed profit. We all hate the thought of single payor, but apparently universal coverage is now an accepted entitlement in the American political psyche.

Trump is going to propose an absolutely terrific universal healthcare plan in the next three years.

I’m being somewhat facetious, but I don’t think there is anyway out of this. The goalposts have moved. The public has determined that everyone should have essentially the same health insurance, and politicians in both parties have accepted this without a fight.

You either supplement the hell out of the private health insurance or you create a massive government payer.

I don’t think the public would push back at this point - particularly if Trump was in favor of it.

Hi, Mr. Troll.

It wasn’t really necessary for you to send me a private email whining you were upset that I called you a name, apparently, “Mr. Troll” which is what you are, lol. Are you a guy or a little girl?

Sure, he can propose anything wonderful, that’s not the problem. The problem is and always has been whether or not he can get Congress to go with it.

You obviously don’t know the difference between “whining” and “chastizing”. That is not surprising because your posts exhibit a distinct lack of thought. You may not be awfully bright or are possibly just a mouthy pissant. Whatever the reason, not everyone expressing an
opinion that mildly disagrees with something Trump said or did is a “troll”

I’m taking Mark Twains advice concerning arguing with a fool now.

Have a nice day.

Oh I agree. I just thought your target was to be someone deserving but somehow it ended up being a response to youm

Trump knows we are headed for single payer here. That is the RINO replacement plan. Probably in a couple of years.

We need to correct people when they say single payer. It’s socialized medicine
