“Under my Administration, insurance will no longer be _illegal_, as it was under the very bad, horrible Obama/Hillary Administration–so, yes, Insurance For Everybody! (who can afford to pay for it)”

Yeah, he’s promising access to “health insurance” for everyone. I thought we had that now. What I’d like to see is healthcare for everyone.

I would bite my tongue and taste blood if he somehow manages to pull off real single payer. He won’t. he can’t. He lies. He lies all the time. I think he heard that even his supporters depend on the ACA and are aghast at losing it without a reasonable replacement, so he’s once again pulling some random bullshit out that he thinks will appeal to the (stupid) masses.
