I was referring to why Trump didn't dismantle Obummer Care. It would have required support from Congress, which he wasn't going to get, and people need to understand what the true cost of socialized medicine really is. We essentially have it now, but it's run by the insurance companies, big pharma, and the large providers. The only difference would be who controls all the purse strings, and who gets to launder money out of the system.
If people feel basic health care is a right, then that is a separate discussion, but for it to work, you have to safe guard the system so it only provides basic health care and nothing more. As soon as you set it up, someone is going to come along and demand that the system pays for all the special treatment their loved one requires, even if it means 1000s of others go without. And some lawyer will be more than willing to take on the challenge of ruining the system.
But Trump did try to dismantle it. He lobbied hard for it. McCain was the chief one who held it up and prevented it from being dismantled. That is one of the reasons why people detest McCain so much.
