Trump Willing to Keep Parts of Obamacare, Stays Mum on Clinton Prosecution

ALI ROGIN,Good Morning America 2 hours 41 minutes ago

After a campaign full of bombastic rhetoric over things like repealing and replacing Obamacare and sending Hillary Clinton to jail, the realities of legislating appear to be catching up to President-elect Donald Trump.

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Trump acknowledged there are aspects of President Obama’s signature health care plan that he wants to maintain, like protecting patients with pre-existing conditions and allowing parents to keep their children on their own plans until age 26.

“I like those very much,” he said, according to the newspaper.

Most congressional Republicans would agree that in order to craft a viable alternative to the president’s law, they need to include at least those two aspects, which appear to be very popular with participants in the Affordable Care Act.

Both of the items Trump mentioned are included in House Speaker Paul Ryan’s “Better Way” health care agenda, although he has not yet offered actionable legislation to achieve them.

Trump also appeared to back off his desire to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server, which prompted chants of “Lock Her Up!” at his rallies.

“It’s not something I’ve given a lot of thought, because I want to solve health care, jobs, border control, tax reform,” he said.

The office of Senate Judiciary Committee Chuck Grassley, who has vowed to continue investigating Clinton, did not respond to a request for comment.
 
A talking head pundit published this 2 hours and 41 minutes ago. What took you so long to cut and paste it over here in ET so that we can have our own personal CNN in our face? You are not fast enough because Ann Coulter has already answered your concerns and debunked yet another attempt to pretend not to understand the English language in order to attack.

 
Yeah see, You want obamacare (if you can't have single payer.) We are just fine with protecting preexisting and children up to 26 on parents policy. What we need is preexisting insurance. As far as jailing Hillary, that is no longer a political decision and must now reside with a non partisan FBI and Justice Department.

Any plan covering preexisting conditions is going to require government intervention and subsidies.I thought Trump voters wanted no part of that.
 
I don't see any problem with the transition team devoting most of its energy to riding the FBI and DOJ so that we can have a prosecution on Jan 20. Anything less than that is a complete sellout!

5 Times Donald Trump Praised Socialized Healthcare

BY FRANK CAMP
9 MONTHS AGO
The Washington Examiner called the speech “a mixture of socialism and incoherence.”

Trump's Republican opponents have hit the businessman repeatedly over his effusive praise for socialized healthcare, but that hasn't stopped him from pushing ahead.

Here are five times Trump's rhetoric about healthcare sounded more socialist than free-market:

Trump's interview with “60 Minutes”
In September, during an interview on CBS' “60 Minutes,” Trump was asked by Scott Pelley about healthcare:

TRUMP: “Everybody's 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 can't afford private. But—'”

PELLEY: “Universal health care.”

TRUMP: “I am going to take care of everybody. I don't care if it costs me votes or not. Everybody's going to be taken care of much better than they're taken care of now.”

PELLEY: “The uninsured person is going to be taken care of. How? How?”

TRUMP: “They're 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—”

PELLEY: “Make a deal? Who pays for it?”

TRUMP: —the government's gonna pay for it. But we're going to save so much money on the other side. But for the most it's 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."

Trump's remarks at the Fox News debate
During the first Republican debate on August 6, 2015, moderator Bret Baier and Donald Trump had the following exchange:

BAIER: “Now, 15 years ago, you called yourself a liberal on health care. You were for a single-payer system, a Canadian-style system. Why were you for that then and why aren’t you for it now?”

TRUMP: “As far as single payer, it works in Canada. It works incredibly well in Scotland. It could have worked in a different age, which is the age you’re talking about here. What I’d like to see is a private system without the artificial lines around every state...Get rid of the artificial lines and you will have yourself great plans. And then we have to take care of the people that can’t take care of themselves. And I will do that through a different system.”

Trump never elaborated on how a Canadian-style system would have worked in the “different age” of 15 years ago.

Trump's Larry King, NBC, and The Advocate interviews
In 1999, when Donald Trump was considering a run for president, he told Larry King:

“If you can’t take care of your sick in the country, forget it, it’s all over... I believe in universal healthcare.”

Similarly, in 1999, he said the following on NBC's “Dateline”:

“Liberal on healthcare, we have to take care of people... I love universal.”

And he told The Advocate in February 2000:

“I would put forth a comprehensive health care program and fund it with an increase in corporate taxes.”

Trump's book
In 2000, Trump wrote a book called The America We Deserve, in which he praised universal healthcare systems:

"We must have universal healthcare...I'm a conservative on most issues but a liberal on this one. We should not hear so many stories of families ruined by healthcare expenses...

Doctors might be paid less than they are now, as is the case in Canada, but they would be able to treat more patients because of the reduction in their paperwork..

The Canadian plan also helps Canadians live longer and healthier than Americans. There are fewer medical lawsuits, less loss of labor to sickness, and lower costs to companies paying for the medical care of their employees. If the program were in place in Massachusetts in 1999 it would have reduced administrative costs by $2.5 million. We need, as a nation, to reexamine the single-payer plan, as many individual states are doing."

Trump's anecdote on David Letterman
Appearing on The Late Show in January 2015, Trump told a story about his friend who visited Scotland:

[jwplatform TgHmf1U5]

“A friend of mine was in Scotland recently. He got very, very sick. They took him by ambulance and he was there for four days. He was really in trouble, and they released him and he said, ‘Where do I pay?’ And they said, ‘There’s no charge.’ Not only that, he said it was like great doctors, great care. I mean we could have a great system in this country.”

As the above examples show, Donald Trump has been an advocate of socialized medicine for decades.
