Did you hear this in the Trump - Chris Wallace interview?

Wallace asked Trump how Trump could try to get rid of Obamacare leaving millions of Americans without healthcare when we are in the midst of an epedimic.

Trump said “I"m releasing my healthcare plan in two weeks.”

Wouldn’t Congress have to pass it?
And they’re going on their ‘August recess.

3. He has no plan.

Three and a half years into his reign and ten years after Congress passed the ACA, Republicans have come up with absolutely no alternative to it, despite much wailing and going into hysterics over helping people get health insurance they can afford. How stupid does he think we are? We have heard this lie “I’m releasing my plan in two weeks” so many times before. Gah!

Which works for him because the only style of governing he's interested in is a dictatorship.

They’re renovating a house and every time they ask the contractor how long something will take he says two weeks.

And be approved, then to the Senate for approval, then to Trump for signing or vetoing.

I think he said he'd be introducing it within a week-10 days after elected, just like he'd be releasing his taxes, honor the constitution and not profiteer which is all lies of course. He's lying about the medical plan too, just like he's lying about not cutting SS & Medicare when he''s in rally mode but tells all his money folks that this will be done immediately upon his reelection. In other words, every single thing he says is an outright self-profiting lie.

17. He claims new authority as a result of SCOTUS ruling on DACA

He promised many "reforms" are on their way thanks to the roadmap laid out by the Supreme Court in their ratification of Obama's DACA ruling.

Yet more Constitutional distortion from the dictator.

Donald Trump Says He’ll Have His Own Obamacare ‘Replacement’ Plan Soon

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-obamacare-replacement-plan-soon_us_58766aa3e4b092a6cae46c6f

"At his first post-election press conference on Wednesday, president-elect Donald Trump said he will release his own plan to “repeal and replace” the Affordable Care Act shortly after taking office. What he didn’t say is what that plan will be or how it will work."

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/01/16/trump-reportedly-insists-healthcare-replacement-will-have-insurance-for-everybody.html


January 16, 2017 Fox News

President-elect Donald Trump revealed in an interview with The Washington Post that he’s almost finished with a plan to replace ObamaCare and vowed to have “insurance for everybody."

---

The president-elect insisted that his plan for replacing the Affordable Healthcare Act is all but finished, and added that care would have “lower numbers, much lower deductibles.” He went as far to say that he’s ready to reveal it alongside Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan.

I assume this is the same "plan" that pukes have been promising since 2013, in other words, it doesn't exist.
