Trump warns that if Kamala Harris wins, "everybody gets health care"

Former President Donald Trump falsely accused Vice President Kamala Harris of wanting to create a "communist system" in which "everybody gets health care."

During his press conference at his golf club in Bedminister, New Jersey, the GOP presidential candidate warned against what he described as the dangers of his opponent. A Harris’ spokesperson told NBC News “The VP will not push single payer as president.”

The reality of the situation is more murky. So far in the 2024 presidential race, neither candidate has clearly outlined their healthcare policies. Medicare for All, a system that gained much traction in 2020 under the support of progressive Democrats like Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., lost some of its momentum when President Joe Biden took office, CNN reported.

Instead, Biden campaigned on improving the Affordable Care Act, which Harris has supported as vice president. Still, Trump maintained that Harris “cosponsored legislation to abolish very popular private health insurance, which 150 [million] Americans rely on, dumping everyone onto inferior socialist government-run health care systems with rationing and deadly wait times, while massively raising your taxes. She wants to take away your private health care.”

1. Worst campaign ever.

[Bev54]

18. I thought the same thing in 2016 and then.................

I lost a lot of faith in Americans back then. 2020 helped but I am still confused over how many still support him. It does not matter what he says about anybody.

[BaronChocula]

23. My faith is still a little shook

I can't believe the rapist had the chance of winning he had when President Biden was in the race. I'm ecstatic at the enthusiasm around Veep Harris, but I don't get how no one really seemed that motivated to keep an insurrectionist/rapist/convicted fraudster out of office just a few weeks ago.

[Deep State Witch]

2. Don't Threaten Me

With a good time!

[MontanaMama]

3. As a self employed person

who has had to refinance my house twice because I’m self insured…I approve this message.

[werdna]

4. Well I'm pleased to hear that Trump made it clear -

- that the reason people are denied healthcare in this country is because we have a "capitalist" economy!

[bluestarone]

5. Probably our best future AD?

[SCantiGOP]

6. She's as bad as Obama was

I remember one Tea Party jackass back in the day saying that Obama was going to “force” everyone to have health care.
The horror! I demand my right to die of a preventable disease, or at least become homeless because of my health care costs.

[Give Peace A Chance]

7. That's it. I'm voting for

Harris.
I swear, he's trying very hard to lose this election.

[groundloop]

8. I've recently visited countries with Universal Healthcare and they wouldn't have it any other way.

Oh the horrors, our poor poor billionaires might have to pay a wee bit more in taxes.

[GB_RN]

9. Now, That's A Bit Of A Headscratcher...

I mean, I honestly fail to see how that’s a problem. 😵‍💫😂

[moose65]

10. O the Humanity!!

How will we ever survive THAT???

Sheesh. It's like he's actually trying to lose, now.

[LeftishBrit]

11. Wouldn't that be a reason FOR voting for her?

[TommieMommy]

12. Isn't that a great plan 😃

Everyone needs health care

[Bayard]

13. He says that like its a bad thing

Private health insurance is not affordable for most people.

[Doctoris Extincti]

14. This, sadly, is just another Rumpian Lie

Because she is GOING TO WIN!!

But, even so, unfortunately won't be bringing our access to medical care in line with other First World nations

[FakeNoose]

20. With a BLUE House and Senate ... that's all it will take to fix the ACA

When Kamala is in the White House, and when she has a willing and able Congress to work with her, the Affordable Care Act will be fixed and made like new. All Americans will finally benefit and we'll have affordable health care for everyone. It won't be called Obamacare though, and I firmly believe that PBO never wanted his name on it anyway.

All we need to do is Get Out The Vote and elect Democrats to Washington.

[Doodley]

15. Trump's voice should be used in ads. Trump wants to take away healthcare for millions and already tried to do it.

Kamala wants more people to have healthcare. Kamala cares. Trump doesn't.

[ck4829]

16. We might as well be paying Trump at this point. K&R.

[Aussie105]

32. That's a point!

How much money would Trumpy accept just to get on a plane and just go away? (And not come back.)

(Pity the GOP doesn't have a plan 'B' and just swap in a new candidate, like the Democratic Party has done. Because Trump is toast at the next election.)

[Aristus]

17. We have rationing and deadly wait times right now, and we're paying for it!

Mrs. Aristus just got a prescription for Ozempic for her diabetes, which her primary care provider and her endocrinologist insist that she needs, and that she meets all the requirements for, and her private health insurance carrier still rejected the prescription. So now we have to do a prior authorization.

Repukes constantly shake the "do you want the government making your medical decisions?" thunder-sheet. But we already have corporate executives and incompetent insurance company medical stooges making them for us. And we have the worst clinical outcomes in the developed world. I'm sure the billionaire assholes in this country are thanking god that they can afford a media machine that tells the American people this is the way it's supposed to be.

[BlueWavePsych]

19. What a MAROON!

[k55f5r]

21. ULTRA MAROON.n/t

[IronLionZion]

22. And that's bad because?

[Ray Bruns]

24. Oh no! The horror.

https://m.

[oasis]

25. Weird clown says what? Sappy bastard.

[Mysterian]

26. Man, that would be terrible

Next thing you know he'll tell us all school kids will be fed! How awful!

[twodogsbarking]

27. Oh wait, there's more. She wants people to receive a living wage. The horror.

[Jean Genie]

28. Shocking!

Shocking, Donald; just shocking! Health care for everyone! Next thing you know, she'll be touting free tuition for college students. Oh the horror!

[colorado_ufo]

29. Everyone has health care? Well, God forbid!

[Aussie105]

30. Seen the state of health care in Communist countries?

Trump is talking out of his stained diaper.

But damn, that is a bit of a threat! Everybody gets health care!
Heaven forbid!

The bats in his belfry screech louder each day.
The jingle-jangle of jailcell keys come closer and closer.

You confused Donny? You sound like it.
You scared Donny? You sound like it.

[iluvtennis]

31. My two daughters are dual citizens- US and Italy.

They lived in Italy/The Netherlands since their late teens and get government supplied health care for free. Neither Italy nor The Netherlands are communist countries.

Don the Con is an Idiot.

[republianmushroom]

33. ...where everybody gets health care.

And that 's bad ?
Uncork your head trump from your rump, it is past time for everybody to get health care. Jeez !

[Blue Full Moon]

34. Health care is most certainly

Tied to reproductive health, maternal mortality rates, infant mortality rates and birth control. The republicans tied women's health care to universal health care. Make them own the deaths and the onerous debt put on families, while they give money to billionaires. Penis rocket ship rides for them is so much more important.

[MistakenLamb]

35. Trump is playing to the racists in the country with this

He is trying to imply that undocumented immigrants and asylum speakers will flood your emergency rooms and doctor offices. Fear of having to sit next to one of them is effective to a group that will be voting this fall

[C0RI0LANUS]

36. Every NATO country has Universal Health Coverage-- even tiny Albania

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

37. Even you Donny

[ificandream]

38. Has to stick in a buzzword, even though his message is something that should be sending people to Kamala

It's all for outrage, even if it sounds good to some. Really stupid, Donny.
