This. "Deregulate" why? Regulation helps people. When I say "people" I mean regular people, the little people. Unless you are Eleon, you are likely a little person. You don't want a "freedom account." You want health insurance that doesn't eliminate you because you have a history of un-health.

Does no-one ever tell him when he has wildly wrong ideas?
"They released their insane asylum population into our country" -- Trump still thinks that people who make political asylum claims come from insane asylums
