She is like millions of other seniors who have had to change their lifestyle
because of healthcare!
Anything Trump can do will be better than what we have now! It is already
socialized - after 72 you do have to be approved by a panel for treatment.

Sorry, but I have seen socialized medicine and it ain't pretty.
If your friend says she is going to have to pay $600 a month for health care then someone needs to guide her to medicare supplements. Medicare B added to Medicare A is only about $105, up from when Obama first took office. She can also get medicare part D, the prescription plan. But, unless she is selling a home up North and using the profit to invest in a home down here, $800 will not make it in the Villages. Even without paying health care insurance, $800 a month would be hard to live on in the Villages.
If we were to get Universal Healthcare, do your really think that it would be free? Using Germany as an example, about 55% of your paycheck is taxed. In countries with Universal Healthcare insurance, the poor get hosed and the rich can afford supplemental insurance to cover them for good treatment. Even in Canada, they have to have separate insurance for ambulance service and prescriptions. (That could be dated information)
Don't let anyone fool you into thinking Universal healthcare (socialized medicine) is so great, and/or free. It isn't. If you want to wait months to be seen by a doctor, or years for an operation, go for it. If you think it would be different here, than somewhere else, please explain to me how we can do so much better than countries that have had socialized medicine for decades.
I am not callous. I care for the aging. I believe that when you pay into Medicare all your working life, you should be able to get something more than just hospital service. With our medicare, if you want anything more, you have to pay extra for a supplement plan. Now, with Obamacare the gov is stealing half a TRILLION bucks from medicare to subsidize healthcare for the lazy. You worked for your medicare, and then the gov says "oh, that was a tax so we can steal from it to use as we please."
Nope, Trump is just playing the same old liberal game of buying votes. He is a faux Republican, probably never had a conservative thought in his life. He will destroy the Republican party with his wealth. he has to answer to no one, since he is self-funding his campaign. He is as dangerous as Obama.
I have really changed my mind on supporting him. I thought for sure that he was just a plan by the GOP to take the heat off of other GOP candidates until the election, when he would drop out. Now, I am sure he is determined to destroy the GOP. He is starting to look more and more like those idiot liberal celebrities of Hollywood.
If the general election turns out to be a race between Trump and Biden, I will vote Democrat for the first time in my life. All my other votes will stick with the GOP, but I will not vote for Trump. Not now. I will never be able to trust him.
