New York Times' Maggie Haberman: "Trump generally believes that everybody should have health care" [View all]

[Goprox]

I found this jewel from an interview published yesterday in The New Yorker with Maggie Haberman, the New York Times reporter whom Donald Trump loves to speak to:

D.R.: What does that mean? We’re on from coast to coast, as they say. What does it mean to have inherited, to some degree, Ed Koch’s view of New York?
M.H.: Or at least his view of the role of government in people’s lives. I think that he believes that regulations are a restriction and a hindrance. Koch, while he did not openly talk about that the same way, certainly fumed at the limitations that government put on what he could do and stymied him. But I think that Trump generally believes that everybody should have health care, or that most people should have health care. I think he fundamentally believes that the role of government is to provide for people. What exactly that looks like, I think, is where you end up getting into a bit of a different place with him. But ultimately this is a guy who grew up in a city where the government was hugely accountable—for policing, for getting the garbage off the streets, for the buildings you build—and I think the role of government in people’s lives in New York City in the nineteen-eighties was pretty liberal.

That's right. The man who just wanted (but failed) to strip millions of health insurance wants everybody to have insurance according to Maggie Haberman. http://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/a-conversation-with-maggie-haberman-trumps-favorite-foe
