Republicans (not conservatives) want pre-x covered. Only people who understand how insurance works don't want pre-x covered.

65+% of Americans want pre-existing coverage...including Donald Trump.
Democracy can be problematic I suppose.

I'm not sure where those stats come from, but I don't suppose it is too far fetched that 65% of Americans either want more free stuff or they don't understand the law of large numbers.
I wonder how those 65% would feel about people not carrying homeowners insurance, but expecting to get paid after a fire or tornado destroyed their home.
Edit: Trump wants it because his handlers told him to want it, not because it is good business.

Like I said, Democracy can be problematic...particularly when the powerbrokers would rather propagandize than educate and put forth a coherent philosophy. It's not like the GOP hasn't had PLENTY of time to put forth a satisfying solution...they'd rather get reelected. I wonder why our borderline genius in chief supports it. Does he understand the law of large numbers? That's a word (or a series of words) and, as we all know, he has the best words.

Trump did not make Business decision when he endorsed it. He made A political decision. Is there any politician in Washington who did not endorse it?

Makes perfect sense if you support Medicare for all.

I think you're proving my point.

Not trying to, just saying there is nothing surprising about Trump supporting it. Two top sales points of Obamacare were no pre-x and coverage to age 26. Both drove prices up. Both tugged on emotions, which means anybody seeking votes would be for it.

We've got the government we deserve.
Re: Presidential Election 2020
Democracy can be very problematic. But fortunately, we live in a republic. And unfortunately, some, called "liberals," don't like this being a republic and try to subvert it.
