5. This is probably the best speech of his career.

Meaning he isn't about to doze off in the middle of it. He's practically threatening the journalists who are there, though. He's in dangerous territory again. What a loser.

There's a guy in a white doctor's jacket with a stethoscope around his neck standing right behind Trump.

Trump wants us to know that he's not just for the poorly educated!

Trump's campaign wants people to believe that the Doc's are against ACA.

It's the Repug Congress that has attempted to repeal ACA over 60 times; the Repug Governors and the Medical Insurance Industry that have caused this problem with ACA. I don't know why MSM doesn't tell it like it is. They are letting them get away with this sleight of hand here.

I'm on Medicare, and have a supplement plan F with Humana and Part D with United Healthcare. I've been having to use the healthcare system as of late - and everything except some drugs has been totally covered and I didn't have to pay a dime.

If we had a Medicare for All system. All Americans would have to participate in it. It would run just as smoothly as Medicare. Note that the insurance companies still participate in Medicare as they would with a Medicare for All system. There could be efficiencies with a standard billing system - one form for all insurance companies. Right now it's still every insurance company for themselves as far as paperwork is concerned.

That's the way we fix ACA and make it across the board for everyone - all Americans - that gives a cushion for the coverage.

8. I liked Trump not realizing his employees weren't "on Obamacare."

What an empty-headed idiot.

Of course his handlers explained to him that his full-time employees would not qualify to purchase through the exchanges and were on insurance HIS company provided, and shortly after came the inevitable walking it back to "some" employees.

Of course, "Obamacare" is also a system of laws that elevates standards and practices of healthcare for the entire nation, us, the medical industry, insurance companies. But that's complicated, so I'm sure they've never tried to explain that. After all, as good servants of the dark-money class, they're also working to get rid of mandated lifetime coverage for conditions and guaranteed coverage regardless of preexisting conditions.

Only wish his crowds realized what they'd lose if they succeeded in opposing the change they say they want.
