President Trump said he'll be rolling out a new health care plan in a couple of months, saying it will be a key focus in his 2020 reelection campaign.

"We're going to produce phenomenal health care, and we already have the concept of the plan," Trump told ABC News in an interview aired Sunday night.

"We'll be announcing that in two months, maybe less," he added, when prompted for specifics.

Trump said "we almost had health care done," adding that ObamaCare "is a disaster," but "we've made it serviceable."

You're only a few years late.

1. Liar. N/T

[ck4829]

2. Hold on... *Gets a chair* These are always classic

[Rhiannon12866]

3. Didn't he "promise" that a couple of years ago?

Along with the promised speech from Melanie which also never came...

[Doreen]

26. Exactly my first thought.

What an idiot.

[Honeycombe8]

41. Yes, he promised "the best health care, it'll cost less, and everyone will have health care."

"It'll be the BEST health care!" You know how he talks.

All they did was keep trying to repeal the ACA, and they tried to pass one pitiful bill that I don't think anyone liked.

What they DID do, though, is stop the mandate provision, which directly addressed the complaints of a demographic group that had voted Democratic but switched to Trump. And they allowed short term plans to be sold again, so people could buy some sort of policy they could afford.

[Rhiannon12866]

42. Thanks for the details.

I did remember him saying that, but then he says so much, all empty "promises," that we learned to just tune him out after awhile.

[weissmam]

50. which did two things

hurt the overall health care market by depriving it of funds and making garbage insurance available again - Typical Drump

[Honeycombe8]

62. It made the ACA work for a group of people...

The ACA was harming a group of people. Making it so that some were taking from their household budget to pay for premiums, but were unable, still, to have decent health care. Those voters voted for Trump. He & the Repubs did a couple of things to make their situation better.

It could have been fixed in another way, I'm sure...but the Democrats didn't address the issue. I reported the issue many times to different people. No one either believed it or cared. That's still the case, as far as I can tell. Your answer indicates that you don't care about them. You didn't suggest an answer, say that something else should or could have been done. You didn't ask any details or show any concern for the people. Your answer was just...well, we need them to throw in their money from their retirement accounts so we can give it to these other people, so THEY can have good health care.

A good program does not rely on harming a productive group of middle class citizens in order for it to succeed in helping others, IMO. Something could have been done, and should have been done before the election. At least some plan devised to give the people hope.

4. He's been "rolling out a healthcare plan" since they tried to overturn ACA.

[NanceGreggs]

5. Wait - wut?

You have a "concept of a plan" - and it's going to be ready for roll-out in two months or less?

[Skittles]

17. oh and he also "made ACA servicable"

[emmaverybo]

27. Hope reporters will ask him how he did that.

[Skittles]

45. translation:

Trump has had to concede that a lot of the idiots who voted for him KINDA LIKE ACA, so he needs to take credit for it somehow

[RobinA]

56. What Does That

even mean?

Clueless. What is "phenomenal" healthcare? There's no such thing in the real world. The man is a carnival barker.

[Skittles]

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.

28. Very fine work. Nt

10. I saw a couple of "great" Republican health care plans in 2017

This Wikipedia articles covers both the AHCA (American Health Care Act) and the BCRA (Better Care Reconciliation Act)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Health_Care_Act_of_2017

H.R. 1628, American Health Care Act of 2017, Cost Estimate, CBO, 5/24/17
https://www.cbo.gov/publication/52752
would increase the number of people who are uninsured by 23 million in 2026 relative to current law.


H.R. 1628, Better Care Reconciliation Act of 2017, Cost Estimate, CBO, 6/26/17
https://www.cbo.gov/publication/52849
A little bit better: leaving 22 million uninsured in 2026 relative to current law.

Both can only be described as acts of American Genocide. We need to call the GOP the American Genocide Party.

[Bengus81]

11. Same one that Goopers have been going to release for TEN YEARS right??

Ok,I'm on the edge of my seat Donnie............

[subterranean]

12. Bookmarking this to see if it actually happens.

For some reason I am skeptical.

[JustAnotherGen]

13. Oh!

45 is a stitch. That will happen the third Tuesday after Infrastructure Week at 2 am.

[cstanleytech]

14. I wonder if the plan will be everything that was in Obamacare but Trump will try to

put his own name on it? I mean the man is the type that would try to plagiarize work done by someone else.

[not fooled]

22. That's a good thought but

Obamacare put the brakes on some of the worst acts of rapaciousness by the healthcare looters aka insurance cos. GOPee wants to let them loot without constraint.

[marble falls]

25. Instead of Obamacare, it'll be called Trumpcrap.

[lastlib]

31. "tRumpDon'tCare"

Since 2009, their "plan" has been "GOPeeDon'tCare". This is the same plan, just named for AnusMouth.

[Brother Buzz]

15. This time for sure!

[bronxiteforever]

18. Lol!

[They_Live]

16. "concept of a plan"

okaaaaay.

[mopinko]

19. i think it was wolf that said that they had a list of outrageous proposals on hand

so they could pull them up at a moments notice when the shit hit the fan.

so, yeah, no.

[not fooled]

23. And looks like they are re-using

old retread Mitt R-money to peddle the latest iteration of their healthcare scams.

[RobinA]

57. Wait,

I thought ObamaCare WAS RomneyCare, a retread of NixonCare.

[not fooled]

65. You are right

but the black guy couldn't be allowed to get credit for passing that, so now the GOPee will come out with something worse.

[sakabatou]

20. Yeah, right!

[fierywoman]

21. And he'll simultaneously present FLOTIT's immigration papers

and his taxes that he promised before the election.

[marble falls]

24. His lips were moving - he was lying.

[vsrazdem]

30. Didn't Romney annouce he had a new health care plan coming out a couple of days ago.

I am sure Trump is stealing that and saying it is his plan.

[Dawson Leery]

32. The Connnies had 10 years to offer an alternative.

[Talitha]

33. He'll roll it out right after he finishes Infrastructure Week.

[sandensea]

34. By which he means a Trump University-style racket

You pay through the nose - but get nothing in return, besides a few glossy brochures with stock photo actors dressed in whitecoats.

[Greybnk48]

35. Trump is pathologically jealous of President Obama,

and jealous of Obamacare. It's funny and frightening at the same time.

[sprinkleeninow]

39. This is true. n/t

[Clash City Rocker]

37. Okay, I'm guessing it's "cut taxes even further for the rich and maybe they'll pay for it"

Anyone want to bet that I’m wrong?

[KY_EnviroGuy]

48. Could be right. Healthcare will just be one big plutocratic charity.

...........

[rpannier]

38. I thought he said they'd tackle it after the 2020 election?

Getting hard to keep up with his lies

[moondust]

40. The DQA

"Die Quickly Act"

[iluvtennis]

43. Yeah, right....won't hold my breath. nt

[safeinOhio]

44. Just have to work out the details, er I mean

spin.

[duforsure]

46. Just more scams by tump

This will be shown to be a lot worse than the ACA and he will lie again making claims how great it is when its more of the same,BS and propaganda , and not a good plan at all. This is another phony pr campaign to claim how great he is, when its the opposite of the truth, again. That's why they have it hidden.

[smb]

47. Trumpcare

[KY_EnviroGuy]

49. And how long was it took to hammer out and pass the ACA?

Tick, tock Donny.........

[DetlefK]

51. He promised to present AND pass that plan in the first 100 days of his administration.

"Nobody knew healthcare could be so complicated."

[IronLionZion]

52. And it shall be delivered by flying unicorn

[Javaman]

53. aka bullshit. he's trying to appeal to the mouthbreathers he fucked over when he fucked with ACA. nt

[Firestorm49]

54. Let me guess - take two aspirin and get some rest.

[area51]

55. The classic Alan Grayson pic

[Brainfodder]

59. We eagerly await the return of death panels and ketchup as a vegetable?

[louis-t]

60. I'm sure he's been working on it night and day.

Not.

[sarabelle]

61. He's got to do something. It will probably be Obamacare with more benefits for drugs.

Wink, wink.

[Nitram]

64. LOL. If it's like his "improvement" of NAFTA, it will be Obamacare with a few very minor changes.
