Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) on Thursday called on reporters to ask President Trump basic questions about healthcare policy after Trump claimed in an interview that people can obtain health insurance for $12 a year.

Schatz responded to Trump’s wide-ranging interview with The New York Times on Wednesday by saying “let’s ask him the basics” like “what’s Medicaid?” or “what’s an exchange?”

Trump said in the interview, following the collapse of the Senate GOP ObamaCare repeal, that “you start working and you’re paying $12 a year for insurance, and by the time you’re 70, you get a nice plan.”

“Here’s something where you walk up and say, ‘I want my insurance.’ It’s a very tough deal, but it is something that we’re doing a good job of,” he added.

Schatz expressed confusion about Trump saying a young person can be insured for $12 a month, adding, “Has no one told him the truth? Did he forget? Seriously what's going on there?”

But the senator corrected himself in a following tweet after realizing Trump said $12 a year, not month.

POTUS said a young person can be insured for $12/month. Has no one told him the truth? Did he forget? Seriously what's going on there?

My mistake. He didn't say that you could get insurance for 12 bucks a month. He said 12 bucks a YEAR. https://t.co/XRwFlWSitH — Brian Schatz (@brianschatz) July 20, 2017

NYT interview great, but let's ask him the basics: "what's Medicaid?" Or "what do people pay on the exchange?" Or "what's an exchange?" — Brian Schatz (@brianschatz) July 20, 2017

A Republican senator who supports the Senate GOP's healthcare bill also reportedly did not think Trump has a clear understanding of the plan last month.

The New York Times reported that a senator left a White House meeting with the feeling that the president didn't fully understand some basic parts of the plan, citing an aide who received a detailed readout of the exchange.

The senator felt Trump "seemed especially confused" after a moderate Republican said those who were against the bill would say it appeared to be a "massive tax break for the wealthy," according to the Times.
