He's ok physically but I read he must be confused. He said young people only pay $12 a year for health insurance. In past years it sounds like he got health insurance confused with life insurance. They can pay over 100 a month with subsidies. Everyone else pays even more. If they are like me, they pay over a thousand or few thousand a year just for premiums and have a several thousand deductible and basically the plan is don't get sick, avoid using health care except if you really need it and then you have copays and pay full cost for drugs. Health care costs suck in the US.
He is a rich billionaire so maybe he doesn't know everyone has to pay a lot as a percentage of their income for health care in this country. If someone told him how much he would have to pay as an equivalent percentage of his assets, he might be shocked. I bet the monthly premium would be like several million dollars a month or more. The if he got all series and went to the doctor, his payment on my plan would be like another 4 million to cover the doctor visit and another 4 million to pick up a drug at the drug store. Deductible for the year would be like 500 million for him before the plan started paying Except for one preventative care visit per year.
I'm not surprised at what he doesn't know. I thought he was that way before he got elected but I was hoping I was wrong. Pelosi thinks we elected Bush referring to him as Bush 5 times in a row so maybe we have dementia running amuck among elected politicians. We might to need to elect younger politicians that know the facts and don't need to take the whole month of August off.
Yet, if the election were held again today Hillary would still lose. Trump being President was and is simply America's way of telling progressives to fuck off.
^^^ My take on that is Donald Trump, although he has already filed for 2020, is mostly miserable by the constraints on him and I believe he , knowing what he knows now wouldn't want to run. I also believe that he is looking for an exit strategy that allows him to leave with some dignity and avoid legal jeopardy.
