Former President Donald Trump is promising to exchange the Affordable Care Act along with his personal makeover of the well being care system if he returns to the Oval Office.
“Obamacare is too expensive, and otherwise, not good healthcare,” Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social. “I will come up with a much better, and less expensive, alternative! People will be happy, not sad!”
Mr. Trump has bashed former President Barack Obama’s well being care regulation for years. Last month, he mentioned that getting a well being care system “much better” than Obamacare shall be a “priority of the Trump Administration.”
“It is not a matter of cost, it is a matter of HEALTH,” he wrote on Truth Social final month. “America will have one of the best Healthcare Plans anywhere in the world. Right now it has one of the WORST!”
“I don’t want to terminate Obamacare, I want to REPLACE IT with MUCH BETTER HEALTHCARE. Obamacare Sucks!!!,” he mentioned.
He made an identical promise in 2016 and endorsed a invoice to undo a part of the invoice in 2017, but it surely didn’t make it via Congress.
Republicans have lengthy championed changing Obamacare. Sen. Bill Cassidy, Louisiana Republican, informed the Hill in November {that a} substitute is “unlikely to happen [in this] narrowly divided Congress.”
“I’m for lowering costs and making our health care system more efficient, but I’m not sure,” Senate Republican Whip John Thune of South Dakota mentioned to the outlet in response to the previous president’s promise. “I’d want to know what the proposal is.”
Sen. Ted Cruz, Texas Republican, informed NBC News final month that he could be open to revisiting the difficulty.
“I would love to see us revisit it,” Mr. Cruz mentioned. “Lowering premiums is critically important to Texans.”
Biden-Harris marketing campaign Seth Schuster referred to as Mr. Trump‘s post an “erratic Christmas Day rant.”
“If Donald Trump has his way, 40 million Americans would have their health care coverage endangered, protections for 100 million Americans with preexisting conditions would be at risk, and more than 2 million young people would be kicked off their parents’ plans,” Mr. Schuster mentioned in an announcement Tuesday.
