Trump went on a rant about how "Obamacare" was so terrible for his Doral golf course employees. When the Doral manager was asked, he explained that at least 95% of their emplyees do not use "Obamacare" because they get employer provided health insurance. Trump sounded so authoritative - he didn't have the slightest notion of the facts!
Later, after he found out about employer provided health insurance, Trump said authoritatively that "Obamacare" was too much trouble for Doral to deal with.
Two points here - Trump knew none of the facts in the topic on which he was speaking authoritatively. He can lie with total aplomb. And he doesn't know the slightest bit about our health insurance delivery system!
The talking heads have already pointed out that what could have been a good news day for Trump was lost because he had no idea of how the health insurance system is delivered in this country.
There is a problem with the Affordable Care Act and its solvency. Not a word was said about how it might be fixed. Trump says repeal and replace - but with what? and what about the many positive aspects of the law, including allowing kids to stay on their policies to age 26, getting rid of preexisting conditions and ending lifetime caps.
