After debate, Trump still doesn't have a plan to replace Obamacare health care
After eight years of threatening to repeal the Affordable Care Act former President Donald Trump still doesn’t have a comprehensive plan to replace it.
After eight years of threatening to repeal the Affordable Care Act, more commonly known as Obamacare, former President Donald Trump still doesn’t have a comprehensive plan to replace it.
Experts doubt it would happen under a second Trump administration either, given the difficulty of coming up with a policy that satisfies all parties and the former president’s lack of a specific plan.
“It’s kind of hard to find any meat on the bones,” said John A. Graves, a professor of health policy and medicine at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. “It’s just kind of bluster and can kicking.”
During Tuesday night’s debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump claimed he had “concepts of a plan” to replace the health care law, promising to do so at a lower cost.
“We are working on things. We’re going to do it. We’re going to replace it,” Trump said. “We’re looking at different plans. If we can come up with a plan that is going to cost our people, our population less money and be better than Obamacare, then I would absolutely do it.”
