So he wants to defund an already under funded health care system, but pay private companies lots of many to provide health care instead? Did I get that right?

No, you misunderstand. Private clinics are much more effective at channeling money into the pockets of specific people (the owners) instead of a larger system.

It's cute that you think there will be LTD available. You'll just be tossed into the street and replaced by the next person.

Yeah sure… whatever, whatever it is you say in the future. Money today! Money now. That’s the most important step.

I’ll gladly pay you tomorrow.
