Oooh yes I would like to spend MORE time dealing with insurance companies ‘negotiating’ with them since the claims part isn’t taking up enough time
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"
