Trump chuckled when told that Bradley was going to appear at University City High School today, and added that he wanted Bradley to know what he thought of him. Trump called Bradley the most overrated of the major contenders. "He's got a bad way about him. He's bad on taxes."

Trump's health care plan, unveiled Tuesday, was the latest in a series of position papers that he has recently released.

His health care plan would require all companies to offer basic insurance plans to all employees. Workers could beef up their coverage with their own money saved in tax-free medical savings accounts. The government would provide vouchers for the unemployed. Medicare would be retained for the elderly.

Trump said his plan, patterned after government programs in Germany and Israel, would save billions of dollars and end the unfair system that the nation has.

Regardless of his decision, Trump won't be on Missouri's presidential primary ballot March 7. He missed the December filing deadline. Three candidates will be on the Reform Party ballot: conservative commentator Pat Buchanan, Natural Law Party nominee John Hagelin (who's seeking a dual candidacy) and Charles Collins of Georgia.

Still, Trump said he wouldn't ignore the state. State Reform Party leaders said only three of the state party's presidential delegates will be at stake March 7. Nine others will be committed at the party's state convention in St. Louis in April, said state party chairman Bill Lewin of Kansas City.
