'Nobody knew it could be so complicated'

Nobody knew?
Where was he when it was being debated in detail for months during its creation (much of it based on the Romneycare model)?
The GOP has had years to draft an alternative.

"Nobody knew..."?
Is this suppose to be a joke or something?



Trump on replacing healthcare law that took years to craft: 'Nobody knew it could be so complicated'
President reaffirms Republican commitment to repealing Affordable Care Act amid uncertainty over replacement and rising support for ‘Obamacare’

Donald Trump told a room full of state governors on Monday that “nobody knew” replacing the massive Affordable Care Act, which expanded health coverage to 20 million Americans, would prove to be so “complicated”.

Trump reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to repealing and replacing the ACA, better known as Obamacare, and took a jab at new polls that show that its popularity is rising.

among donnie's myriad mental defects is that he clearly doesn't know what he doesn't know, and thinks he's the expert in the room on just about any subject.


having apparently been confronted with the complexity of the healthcare situation, maybe it's finally dawning on him that there's a lot more out there to learn than he had been previously aware.


maybe he is capable of learning after all...

Simply open up Medicare to all Americans on its market cost and use the current subsidies to reduce the market cost of that monthly premium.

Yes, there is a better solution - a true, single payer solution. In the meantime, this public option solution is a relatively simple one.
