"We're going to have insurance for everybody," Trump told The Washington Post. "There was a philosophy in some circles that if you can't pay for it, you don't get it. That's not going to happen with us."

"[They] can expect to have great health care. It will be in a much simplified form. Much less expensive and much better," he said.

But no details on what it looks like yet.  I vaguely recall Hillary being similarly optimistic early on during her husband's time in office, at least before she encountered the realities of Congress.  Can Trump's calling himself a Republican change anything?

Nice promises... or is it so much gaslight?

The more I think on it, the more it feels like a Trump ploy similar to his threat to cancel the F 35.  "If you approve my health secretary, I will come out in favor of a real health plan initiative." The way he keeps promises, color me dubious?  

Still in wait and see mode.
