Does Donald Trump Know What Health Insurance Is?: An Investigation stat : Vanity Fair

"I know a lot about health care," Trump declared later on in the interview. Life insurance has much lower premiums than health insurance. Trump's comments on Wednesday do not mark the first time he has radically misstated the average costs associated with health care. When asked about health care during an interview with The New York Times on Wednesday, this is how he responded:So pre-existing conditions are a tough deal. He provided a similar quote to The Economist in May, in which he said health care should cost about $15 per person per month.




"If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan."That was one of presidential candidate Barack Obama's most effective—and least truthful—campaign promises. Blue Cross Blue Shield tended to dominate the individual health insurance market in many states for decades, and the Blues preferred selling comprehensive coverage. Ironically, the Cruz-Lee provision in the Senate health care bill could allow people to return to the policies they once had—and many desperately wanted to keep—before Obamacare effectively outlawed them. As a candidate, Obama knew that the vast majority of Americans were happy with their pre-Obamacare policies, and so his "if you like your health plan you can kept it" ruse was intended to allay their fears. Democrats regurgitated that slogan ad nauseam and pooh-poohed any concerns raised by health policy analysts who questioned the veracity of the claim.
