Trump going to give people healthcare money to pay

for people's healthcare costs. This is not how insurance works. Insurance uses a pool of people to pay premiums and if someone gets sick those pooled premiums pay for the care. For sure get rid of the private health care companies. But this Trump plan will force millions to forgo treatment and die as they will not be able to afford the costs associated with their health care. It is not insurance. This is how Trump will protect Social Security, and Medicare, by killing, bankrupting more people so they don't make it to 65.

Any functioning institution in our society, he doesn't have a fucking clue. He spent his life scamming and banging kids. His whole life.
