Trump's 'Secret' Health Plan Is a Promise Voters May Have Heard Before

WASHINGTON — When Donald Trump first ran for the White House, he promised to “come up with a great health plan,” one that would repeal the Affordable Care Act but replace it with something better, something that would maintain its biggest selling point: protecting people with preexisting medical conditions.

Once elected, he swore he had a “wonderful plan” and would be “putting it in fairly soon.”

On Tuesday night, Trump was at it again, during a town-hall-style meeting broadcast on ABC, where he was schooled by Ellesia Blaque, an assistant professor of Africana and ethnic literatures at Kutztown University in Pennsylvania. She told him she had a congenital illness, demanded to known what he would do to keep “people like me who work hard” insured — and cut him off when he tried to interrupt her.

“We’re going to be doing a health care plan very strongly, and protect people with preexisting conditions,” Trump told her, adding, “I have it all ready, and it’s a much better plan for you, and it’s a much better plan.”

After four years, during the worst health crisis in a century, the unkept promise may be catching up to Trump. There still does not seem to be any plan, because other than abolishing the Affordable Care Act — which requires insurers to cover preexisting conditions and which the White House is asking the Supreme Court to overturn — the Republican Party cannot agree on one.

Sorry but anyone who's still buying Trump's healthcare promise has their head way up their fucking rear.

that was going to be enacted in two weeks, three months ago, or the plan that was going to be executed on day 1 in office?

Trump's plan is to destroy any access to health care except for those who can afford it.

Except it 'won't be', it 'won't be', and no one will have it.
