re: Trump on Healthcare: "Who Knew?"

Trump has stated his support for universal health care numerous times on the record.

As far as single payer, it works in Canada. It works incredibly well in Scotland.-

“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.”

the government's gonna pay for it (health care). 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 sounds wishy-washy as hell because he wants single payer or public option but he knows he would get destroyed by a lot of conservatives if he tries to pass something similar to the "great health care system they have in Scotland."
