We offered him that, but instead he's telling Republicans to push half baked ideas like health saving accounts and direct checks. Let me say this very plainly. Donald Trump's Republican ideas about HSAs are non starters for Democrats because they're deeply flawed and woefully insufficient for our nation's health care problems. If Republicans push this flawed policy, they will go nowhere in the Senate. First, neither HSAs nor a lump sum check will do anything to actually help people afford insurance. (06:07–06:18)
