USA Today: Donald Trump: Democrats 'Medicare for All' plan will demolish promises to seniors
Trump's op-ed is typical Trump -- that is to say merely a lie.
Republicans are clearly feeling the heat on their opposition to American's having affordable healthcare. This stunningly dishonest op-ed from Donald Trump. If he had any significant role in writing it, reeks of desperation. "Democrats want us to become Venezuela" is now a popular trope on the right, which is fed by some journalists whose brains apparently freeze when they see the word "socialist." The reality is that Democratic proposals don't look at all like policies from people who want us to be Venezuela; it looks like people who wants us to be more like Denmark.
While Swampy claims that he wants to protect pre-existing coverage, a Democratic measure aimed at eliminating short-term health care plans that don't cover pre-existing conditions failed in the Senate on Wednesday in a tied vote of 50-50.
Throughout the year, we have seen Democrats across the country uniting around a new legislative proposal that would end Medicare as we know it and take away benefits that seniors have paid for their entire lives.
Dishonestly called “Medicare for All,” the Democratic proposal would establish a government-run, single-payer health care system that eliminates all private and employer-based health care plans and would cost an astonishing $32.6 trillion during its first 10 years.
