'We will never let socialism destroy American healthcare': Trump swipes at Democrats in State of the Union

President Trump attacked Democratic healthcare proposals in direct terms in his third State of the Union address, denouncing them as socialist.

"We will never let socialism destroy American healthcare," Trump said in his address Tuesday night.

Trump is running against Democrats who propose "Medicare for all" plans, including Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, which would enroll everyone in the United States in a government healthcare plan. Trump, vulnerable on the issue of healthcare otherwise, has sought to cast himself as the defender of the status quo against such overhauls.

destroy American healthcare? What part of a system that allows drug companies to raise prices of life saving insulin beyond the grasp of working Americans do you want to save? I'm sure people said similar things about medicare and look where we are now. What these politicians are really saying is "we will not let socialized medicine destroy the profits of the pharmaceutical and insurance industries because they finance all our campaigns"

12:51 Yes, exactly. This bipartisan, tribal crap needs to stop and we need to start evaluating our elected officials on more than red or blue.

1:07 as opposed to now where you will be thrown into more debt for being too poor to afford insurance? I agree with you, there is no perfect solution but our current system sure as hell isn't a great option.

Just ask a Canadian. P. S. They do pay for medical insurance and because it 8s socialized also the wait time to see a doctor 8s usually 3 to 6 months. Now - do we want Medicare for all.
