DESPITE HIS OPPOSITION TO THE ACA, TRUMP CLAIMED HE WASN’T LIKE CONSERVATIVES WHO WANT TO LET “40 PERCENT ROT IN HELL” Donald Trump On Health Care: “I’m Not A Conservative That Wants To Take Care Of 60 Percent Of The People And Let The Other 40 Percent Rot In Hell.” “Trump pushed back against Republicans who have attacked him for supporting a single-payer healthcare system in the past. He said he’ll release formal details on his healthcare plan in the coming weeks. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, one of Trump’s 2016 rivals, released his plan on Tuesday. ‘People think this is not traditionally Republican, but I think it is because I don’t want to see people dying on the streets and neither do other Republicans want to see that,’ Trump said. He added that policymakers cannot let people die ‘because they don’t have money.’ ‘I’m not a conservative that wants to take care of 60 percent of the people and let the other 40 percent rot in hell,’ Trump said. ‘That’s not going to be me. You can’t do that and I don’t think most Republicans want to do that either.’” [The Hill, 10/14/15] UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE 1999: “LIBERAL” TRUMP SAID HE BELIEVED IN UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE Trump In 1999: “I'm Very Liberal When It Comes To Health Care.

I believe in whatever it takes to make people well and better.” KING: “So you believe, then, it's an entitlement of birth?” TRUMP: “I think it is.
