- danans 7y agoThe centerpiece of their plan is removing the protections provided by Obamacare, like pre-existing conditions coverage, the state insurance exchanges, and getting rid of the Medicaid expansion. They don't want to talk about any of that right now, even though it was the central refrain of what they ran on 4 years ago. But that's smart actually. They correctly realize that it is political suicide to run on taking health protections away from people at this time.
- foobarbecue 7y agoI couldn't believe when I first heard about this -- Trump doing something potentially beneficial. Sounds like it will have no actual impact, but I hope it does.
- crankylinuxuser 7y agoAnd early on prior to the election, Trump was also talking about repealing Obamacare and putting in single payer. As much as I despise Trump, this idea wasn't terrible. Obamacare/ACA was only a stepping stone. But the republicans had a 'talking' with him. https://www.npr.org/2019/04/02/709175203/trump-backs-off-obamacare-replacement-after-top-gop-leader-nixes-the-idea https://www.npr.org/2019/04/02/709175203/trump-backs-off-oba...
