No one in the country, or on earth, has given less thought to health insurance than Donald," said Roger Ailes. Pressed in a campaign interview about the importance of Obamacare repeal and reform, Trump was, to say the least, quite unsure of its place on the agenda: "This is an important subject but there are a lot of important subjects. Maybe it is in the top ten. Probably is. But there is heavy competition. So you can't be certain. Could be twelve. Or could be fifteen. Definitely top twenty for sure.
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.
