I feel sure that my friend @RandPaul will come along with the new and great health care program because he knows Obamacare is a disaster!

Donald J. Trump‏ @realDonaldTrump
Don't let the FAKE NEWS tell you that there is big infighting in the Trump Admin. We are getting along great, and getting major things done!

Donald J. Trump‏ @realDonaldTrump 
I am working on a new system where there will be competition in the Drug Industry. Pricing for the American people will come way down!

Donald J. Trump‏ @realDonaldTrump
Don't worry, getting rid of state lines, which will promote competition, will be in phase 2 & 3 of healthcare rollout. @foxandfriends

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
For eight years Russia "ran over" President Obama, got stronger and stronger, picked-off Crimea and added missiles. Weak! @foxandfriends

Donald J. Trump‏ @realDonaldTrump 
Our wonderful new Healthcare Bill is now out for review and negotiation. ObamaCare is a complete and total disaster - is imploding fast!

Does anyone notice how the Montana Congressional race was such a big deal to Dems & Fake News until the Republican won? V was poorly covered


@realDonaldTrump    2h

....it is very possible that those sources don't exist but are made up by fake news writers. #FakeNews is the enemy!


@realDonaldTrump    2h

Whenever you see the words 'sources say' in the fake news media, and they don't mention names....


@realDonaldTrump    2h

It is my opinion that many of the leaks coming out of the White House are fabricated lies made up by the #FakeNews media.   


@realDonaldTrump    3h

Just returned from Europe. Trip was a great success for America. Hard work but big results!


@realDonaldTrump    3h

Big win in Montana for Republicans!

Gotta hand it to the Russians, the definitely hit it out of the park with this one.  Infiltrating the White House is one thing, but actually running it with multiple Joes? Krassilnikov didn't have wet dreams this fanciful.

QuoteBritish Prime Minister May was very angry that the info the U.K. gave to U.S. about Manchester was leaked. Gave me full details!

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

QuoteThe massive TAX CUTS/REFORM that I have submitted is moving along in the process very well, actually ahead of schedule. Big benefits to all!

QuoteThe Fake News Media works hard at disparaging & demeaning my use of social media because they don't want America to hear the real story!

Sounds good. But then why are you proposing slashing the Medicaid budget?

Well, the U.S. healthcare system is already much more expensive than its counterpart in other countries, at same or similar results,s o pouring more money into it might not be the solution.  :hmm:

I'm confused about the US healthcare system, it's twice as expensive as european average healthcare and yet citizens have to pay of it themselves as well? How is that possible?

The insurance companies get paid first.  The brokers and management consultants get paid second.  Then the providers get what's left.  If you fill out your forms just right and it's lucky day, you might just get care delivered.  But it'll within the deductible, or subject to 30% copay plus oh yeah we don't cover that and if we did you gave the wrong code anyway.
