Trump: 'Everybody' has better healthcare than US

President Trump said Friday that "everybody" has better healthcare than the United States. 

“Of course the Australians have better healthcare than we do --everybody does. ObamaCare is dead! But our healthcare will soon be great,” Trump tweeted.




The president raised eyebrows Thursday night when he heaped praise on Australia's universal healthcare system even though that type of system is widely derided by conservatives.

Trump's latest comments appear to contradict his own spokeswoman, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who said earlier Friday that "he was simply being complimentary of the prime minister and I don’t think it was much more than that.”

...about Austrailia's health care system.

He made that statement because he doesn't know they have universal health care, if he even knows what that is.

WHY their healthcare is better? Gosh, he might get the crazy idea to do the same thing - universal healthcare with real negotiations on drug prices.

Yeah, I'm dreaming. Sometimes ya gotta escape reality for a while.
