Trump says he'll announce a 'phenomenal' new health care plan soon.

Trump says he’ll announce a ‘phenomenal’ new health care plan soon.

Where was it the last 2 years?Voters don't even want to hear about Obamacare repeal. They want to talk about out-of-pocket costs.

President Donald Trump says he’ll unveil a plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in two months time. But he’s failed to produce a viable plan for the last two years, and it’s unlikely a few more weeks will change anything.

“If we win back the House, we’re going to produce phenomenal health care,” Trump said in an interview with ABC News that aired Sunday night. “And we already have the concept of the plan, but it’ll be less expensive than Obamacare by a lot. And it’ll be much better health care.”

The statement comes ahead of a Tuesday rally in Orlando, Florida, where the president is expected to launch his presidential re-election campaign. Health care was a major issue in the last election, and is expected to be at the forefront again in 2020.

But if Trump was going to repeal and replace the 2010 health law, it would have been when the GOP had complete control of Congress. Throughout Trump’s first year in office, Republican lawmakers failed to move forward several plans to repeal Obamacare, thanks to opposition from activists, Democrats, and a few Republicans — including the late Sen. John McCain (AZ) and his iconic thumbs down on the Senate floor.

Would be no Health care vote until after the 2020 Election!

Someone is lying!

Any one see all the songs being recorded against Trump policies? Taylor Swift has one. Another on the children in cages. They are now being moved too the WW2 Japanese camps. I thought those had been torn down long ago.

It's 45's favorite go-to gambit:
1) Promise the world on a silver platter;
2) Keep embellishing the promise (bigger, better, faster, cheaper, etc.)
3) When the promise finally collides with reality, blame Democrats.

It's almost funny that they think no one remembers all the other lies they've floated about their imaginary health plan.

Look, they have nothing new., it's just the same old scams about 'savings accounts' and 'major medical' coverage. They are just trying to fluff up the same old, tiresome concept that comprehensive healthcare is a privilege available only for the wealthy elite and those who can afford it, everyone else can suffer and die.
