Is it possible for Trump to get Rand on board healthcare?

[Slyhunter]

Rand's State loses big time with this bill....he may say he is voting against it for Libertarian reasons,

but the fact that it hurts around 23% of the Medicaid recipients in his State, would prevent him from even being able to vote for it, imho.

Paul would vote to repeal the ACA with no replacement at all – which would be even more harmful to the residents of his state.

It would be better for our country if we did. It makes us weak allowing the weak to hold us back.

That sounds like something out of Nazi Germany or any other dictator you can think of. The strong should survive and the weak should die. Disgusting.

Blame Mother Nature.

I don't really understand Rand Paul's objection. Yes, the GOP bill will make bring the blame to the GOP on future Obamacare failure, but turning over significant control to the states should really please Paul, even if this isn't a repeal.

I have several family members in the medical field and they all support single payer along with the doctors they work for.....I was shocked and the main reason is due to the insurance companies. I don't know much about it but there has to be something to it for all of them to agree on the issue. Even my small family doctor supports single payer

I can see some reasons doctors would prefer socialist medicine. Less liability and insurance company issues. But, I still think it odd that all of those you know support it. Doctors are already so regulated that it's hard to imagine they'd be more regulated with single-payer.
