Roger Ailes criticized Donald Trump's understanding of health insurance, suggesting that he has given it little consideration throughout his career. During a campaign interview, Trump expressed uncertainty about the repeal and reform of Obamacare, indicating that while he recognized its importance, he viewed it among several pressing issues. Trump's response revealed his vague stance, categorizing it somewhere in his list of priorities without a clear ranking.

Trump acknowledged that health care was significant but noted that it faced stiff competition from other matters. He hesitated to place it firmly within the top ten issues, suggesting it could be as low as twelfth or fifteenth, yet still considered it at least within the top twenty. This commentary reflects Trump's ambivalence and lack of a strong position on health insurance reform during the campaign.
