Trump

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

I like that people are assessing what he meant on the NHS.

Watch the clip back. He has LITERALLY no idea what is being asked in the question.

He basically went "yeah, sure, chuck that in as well".

The guy is making it up as he goes along. My brain STILL can't fathom how this has actually happened.

He's not the only one making reference to the NHS, so we're not taking his interview out of context.
You're right in saying he hasn't got a clue what he's doing. He has some powerful men pulling his strings.

Disclaimer, I am not advocating anyone shooting him.

Who says it can't be funded to the required levels? Politicians? Who believes them? Yes, it needs reorganising and there are flaws but privatising it isn't the answer.
Going back to personal experience my cousin lives in the USA. Her daughter died of liver cancer three years ago, because her insurance found an exclusion clause not to fund treatment. She was in her early 40s.

So we pay a bit more to keep our NHS then.

Good for you. I'm a pensioner with a limited income, two pages of prescriptions, and a chronic illness.

This really feels like it should be the start of a Jay-Z rap.

I seriously don't mind paying for dental treatment or glasses. I wouldn't mind paying a bit more towards the NHS either if the government would let me, but they will never do that because they know it wouldn't sit well with people. So how do we keep the NHS running, keeping standards with an ever increasing population and situation where some people through no fault of their own are hardly paying anything in to the system, what's the answer here.

The answer is not to hand it over to the yanks.

Switching man to woman aptly describes their argument. When she and her daughter were threatened by large numbers of his supporters it was hardly jests. The price of allowing debate with the alt right.

George Nader, a well-connected Middle East fixer for Donald Trump's presidential campaign and a witness in the Russia meddling probe, was arrested for possessing child pornography, the US Justice Department said.

According to the complaint, Nader was interviewed by FBI agents at the airport, and one of his three iPhones was searched for reasons unrelated to child pornography. But on the phone, authorities found 12 sexually explicit videos featuring boys approximately ranging in age from 2 to 14, according to the court documents.

Really does have the best people working for him doesn't he.

Totally agree. I'm doubtful he even knows NOW what the NHS is. A lot of words come out of his mouth, but he doesn't actually SAY a lot. Ever.

What was also funny was his amnesia that he had forgotten that he had met already Michael Gove....

His barnet is so 'out there' it looks like he's wearing a flat cap in the latest image with the royals on the BBC homepage

If taxes were fair then funding the NHS wouldn't be an issue. And before someone starts going on about high earners already paying more than their fair share, I know. It's not about people who earn £150k a year on PAYE, they already get screwed.

It's about the big fish who avoid MILLIONS in tax. It's a global problem and probably the biggest one apart from climate change.

But those in positions of power will keep everyone worrying about immigration, "sovereignty" and the colour of their passport instead.

"We need to pay a bit more" is the opposite of "let's end up like America".

Aren't your prescriptions FREE?

Obviously like most posters here, I hope that we never end up with a US version of healthcare. It abandons the poor to suffer in ill health and leaves them with shorter life expectancy.

If anyone thinks we’re half way there already, that’s rubbish. I’ve had cause to use the NHS in the last 6 months for an op to remove a huge tumour and separately I was rushed by ambulance as an emergency. Both times, largely fantastic NHS staff, great care and literally life savers. In the USA, the first thing they ask is about your private insurance cover, care comes next.

But the NHS could do with more cash e.g. the hospital in Harrow had 1970’s aluminium windows, with old tissue squeezed in the gaps to stop rattling. A&E at the Royal Sussex was overloaded, with people like myself lying on trollies in packed corridors, once prognoses aren’t acute.

To fund this, either;
1. We all pay a few percent extra in basic rate income tax. That would raise substantial sums, or;
2. [MENTION=409]Herr Tubthumper[/MENTION] explained the German system very well, of mandatory private insurance.

In the meantime, Trump needs to butt out.

Just to clarify. Health insurance is mandatory but for many it is a government run scheme. You pay for it out of your salary and your employer pays some. It’s similar to NI. BUT, the amount we pay far outstrips what is put into the NHS by a long long way. And this is the crux. But we get the benefits of this. Hospitals, doctors and especially dentists are everywhere. Wait times are minimal and everyone I know is able to pick and choose when to have treatment. You get what you pay for. The NHS is clearly chronically underfunded and no manner of restructuring will bring it up to the level I experience here. In the main, you/someone, needs to pay more. It really is this simple.

The good thing about this health insurance payment is it’s ring fenced and transparent. You see how much goes into your healthcare each and every month.

I gather President Trump was drawing attention to US companies being allowed to have a fair chance of bidding for NHS contracts once we are out of the Eurocabal.
