President Donald Trump had concerned Americans scratching their heads Sunday night after he tweeted that he now wants to pour more money into health care.

“I suggest that we add more dollars to Healthcare and make it the best anywhere,” he wrote.

I suggest that we add more dollars to Healthcare and make it the best anywhere. ObamaCare is dead - the Republicans will do much better!

That was strange because Trump’s budget plan submitted just days ago called for cutting at least $610 billion from Medicaid and slicing an additional $250 billion from health care by repealing Obamacare. The White House plan also calls for cuts in future spending on health care for children from low-income households. There is no additional spending for any health care in the plan.

The weird disconnect on health care wasn’t a first for the president. When Trump met with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull in New York City in early May, the president praised that nation’s health care system. “You have better health care than we do,” Trump said.

He was perhaps unaware that Australia has a government-run, publicly funded universal health care system — and at a fraction of the cost of American health care. It’s a system Trump would be more likely to denigrate as socialist and even worse than Obamacare. The Congressional Budget Office estimated last week that Trump’s health care proposal would leave an additional 23 million Americans with no health care coverage by 2026.

The White House later said that Trump was just being nice and not pushing for the Australian system in America.

In another puzzling tweet on Sunday, Trump boasted that his tax reform package was moving along “ahead of schedule.”

In fact neither Trump nor Congress has yet proposed a comprehensive tax plan. The White House has released a single page of bullet points in search of a plan that leaves many details unaddressed and questions unanswered.

Is this the beginning of single payer?

Trump has been pro-single payer healthcare from the beginning of time. It was no surprise to me he would praise Australian Healthcare, he wants the same for the US.

The biggest issue he face is that, the party he used to win Presidentialship, is against single payer healthcare.

So he has to compromise somewhere. It would take God himself to come down from heaven and order the republicans to do single payer healthcare for republicans to ever support such a plan.

And there was no point for him attempting to run as a democrat as he guessed correctly that, they were all rooting for the first female president after having the first black president. So he as a old white male, just like bernie sanders do not stand a chance of being their nominee. But EVEN if Trump ran on Dems, and perhaps he might be against Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio or even Low Energy Jeb, he would have won.

But the way, it's rather confusing why do Americans like to use the word "Single Payer Healthcare"? That term just does not make any sense to me. Universal Healthcare sounds more logical.

I always find it amazing that hardly anyone else can see through this stuff.

He proposed the budget, him

they just came up with the shitty AHCA
try to understand the difference.
Ive always said, it wouldnt surprise me if he went single payer, or universal whtever you wish to call it. Or at least try.
Im glad neither of you are sick and worryying about if you will be able to afford anything after the bill has passed.
Sick and poor americans are hurting and you think its fine that he is playing "games" with their lives.
pathetic.

denying people healthcare until the costs are brought down(HAHAHHA)
is killing people.
seven years since obamacare, and they still cant figure it out.
they are fucking useless.trump isnt helping
get insurance out of the way for those who want more than basic healthcare. They are the ones putting up costs.
Get Pharma on its knees.They are the ones putting up costs.
Get private hospitals on their knees They are the ones putting up costs.
Bring the costs down, by all means,
but get the healthcare to the people who fucking need it, not who can afford it.

The problem is...

He has no clue how healthcare in the U.S. works. He has no idea what drives the costs, or impacts the quality.

Nor do Republicans in Congress. But they simply follow the insurance and Pharma lobbies.

No one is playing games.
The medical industry is very broken if looked at in light of providing affordable basic care. When a single medical visit can cost two week's salary for the marginally employed low end of the job scale; that is not a workable model.
Historically, every time the federal government has done something about health care; it has ended up increasing the cost to the taxpayer and reducing the availability of health care to the poor and lower middle class. <soapbox> Insurance does not equate to affordable health care. </soapbox> The AHA was an unworkable bust as it provided subsidized insurance to the poor but priced insurance out of the reach of the middle class while never addressing medical charges (not cost) reaching for the stratosphere.
Not one single politician addresses the elephant herd in the meeting room; the medical industry is out of control in the U.S. If looked at from a strictly corporate structure paradigm; the medical industry in the U.S. is a cartel that constitutes the largest unregulated monopoly in the history of the country.
