I will pretend I am a reporter. (REDUX)
Me- President Trump, you told a reporter for Washington Post that your plan would "cover everybody" regardless of ability to pay:
“We’re going to have insurance for everybody,” Trump said. “There was a philosophy in some circles that if you can’t pay for it, you don’t get it. That’s not going to happen with us.” People covered under the law “can expect to have great health care. It will be in a much simplified form. Much less expensive and much better.”
There are reports that the plan you support will throw 15,000,000 people off the health insurance rolls. How do you reconcile the two statements?
