Trump on Health Care: ‘I Want to Take Care of Our People’ Not Our Insurance Companies
EXCERPT:
TRUMP: "But the block grant, the concept of blocking it out, block grants to the states, that’s what people want. That’s what the states want. That’s especially what the well-run states want. Because they will have healthcare that’s so good, far better than anybody’s ever even thought. So, again, I respect very much the two senators you’re talking about. I love that they’re working on it. I want them to be careful with respect to the insurance companies. Insurance companies are extremely good at making money, extremely talented with making money. I want them to be careful with that. We will probably like a very short-term solution until we hit the block grants, until that all kicks in. In other words, it doesn’t just kick in the following day. There’s a transition period. And if they can do something like that, I’m open to it. But I don’t want it to be at the expense of the people. I want to take care of our people. I don’t want to take care of our insurance companies. They’ve been very well taken care of over the last number of years, believe me."
