Donald Trump said on 60 Minutes last Sunday that he would, as president, work to repeal Obamacare and replace it with a government-funded universal healthcare program.
On Sunday’s episode of 60 Minutes on CBS, Donald Trump said that “Obamacare is a disaster” and that he plans to repeal it and replace it with a government-funded universal healthcare plan.
During the lengthy interview, CBS correspondent Scott Pelley asked billionaire real estate mogul and 2016 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump his position on healthcare reform.
“Obamacare’s going to be repealed and replaced. Obamacare is a disaster if you look at what’s going on with premiums where they’re up 40, 50, 55 percent,” replied Trump.
Pelley then pressed him to offer his own specific plan for fixing the U.S. healthcare system.
Trump began explaining, “There’s many different ways, by the way. 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 then interrupted, noting that Trump was describing a universal healthcare plan.
Trump continued, “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.”
The real estate billionaire then explained that he “would make a deal with existing hospitals to take care” of uninsured Americans.
When Pelley asked him to clarify who would pay for the plan, Trump replied, “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.”

From RomneyCare to ObamaCare, to DonaldCare! To paraphrase Reagan... if you've seen one socialized medicine scheme, you've seem 'em all.

I don't particulary like Trump. I don't think he's trustworthy. I don't believe he is adaquately prepared for the persidency. He spends too much time speculating about angles he should have thought about years ago to buy votes without considering the full long term consequences. The above concoction is an example.
Having said that, I support him because he may instigate a much needed revolution in this country which he will not be in control of. What frightens me is, given the mentality developed in this country over the last 70 years, the revolution may be a disaster instead of a housecleaning. There is insufficient adult mentality and integrity to lead it. We may end up dead in the water with a multitude of immature angry voices arising to squander what little remains of this once great country.

Sounds like you're describing a Constitutional Convention. Yet many conservatives want one.
