Dr. Mehmet Oz, the administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, suggested Wednesday that President Donald Trump has a plan to replace the Affordable Care Act — but provided no specifics about the proposal.
“I fully believe the president has a plan,” Oz told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker. “We’ve been talking about it quite a bit. There’s all kinds of ideas.” “The issue, Kristen, is which specific parts of the plan do you prioritize, which are the ones you want to focus on,” he added.
When pressed for specifics about Trump’s plan, Oz said, “The plans that were originally offered during the One Big Beautiful Bill fell out, which is fine.”
Trump has repeatedly vowed to repeal and replace the ACA, also known as Obamacare, both during his first term and again on the 2024 campaign trail — but his current administration has yet to provide details about what his new plan would like like or how it would affect people who rely on the law for coverage. More than 24 million people got coverage through the ACA in 2025, according to government data.
