The reason is, even if that is the case with what Trump currently says, it does not really give me specifics.
Clinton's plan is far more actualized and grounded in reality in comparison to Trump's plan, though Trump's is far more over-reaching, which can sound progressive, but most likely just saying whatever sounds good at the moment without actual thought in it.

I tend to prefer Bernie's plan however, as I've always been a fan of how healthcare is set up in other countries.
