President Donald Trump signaled Monday that congressional Republicans would wait until after the 2020 elections to vote on a GOP replacement for Obamacare — putting off a presumably savage legislative battle on a hot-button campaign issue until after his re-election bid.
“Everybody agrees that ObamaCare doesn’t work. Premiums & deductibles are far too high - Really bad HealthCare! Even the Dems want to replace it, but with Medicare for all, which would cause 180 million Americans to lose their beloved private health insurance,” the president tweeted.“The Republicans … are developing a really great HealthCare Plan with far lower premiums & deductibles than ObamaCare,” Trump continued.
Trump claimed that the elusive Republican proposal “will be truly great HealthCare that will work for America,” writing online that “Republicans will always support Pre-Existing Conditions.” The president’s pledge comes a week after his Justice Department endorsement a federal court ruling to eliminate the Affordable Care Act in its entirety, moving to invalidate the landmark health care law despite objections within Trump’s orbit from Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar and Attorney General William Barr.
The president appeared on Capitol Hill the next day, declaring that the Republican Party "will soon be known as the party of health care.”
If they put it out 1st, we’ll see what a pc of junk it is & won’t vote for GOP. Instead they’ll promise moon & stars, deliver rocks. They’ll also say we won’t have healthcare unless they get elected bc they have a plan, & the ACA will be gone bc of them, so we’ll want any plan.
Which means they won't, bc he thinks he will win.
He knows his base are FOOLS!
They are going to wait until then to start crafting it too!
At least we now is not going to be Trumpcare
The REPUBLICANS could not come up with a plan before what makes you think they will come up with one later
Lollllllllllllll 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Throwing in a roll of paper towels again.
Hahahahaha!!!
Because there is NO PLAN.
So yet another Trump publicity stunt ie red meat for white tra$h with blue balls.....
So what the Hell are people (many who voted for Trump)supposed to do for health care? Come on People Wake Up!!!!
Thank you for the electoral issue.
how convenient
Someone finally convinced him that 2020 is around the corner.
LOL. . They still don’t have a plan. They’ve HAD over 8 yrs to come up with something and now they are putting it off til after the NEXT election. What a JOKE. The clown & his circus at it again.
All the more reason to vote him out. He’s been breaking promises for years
He’s trying to backpeddle now that he has gotten into a mess.
the trump stunt already backfired. did it last a week?
Stay tuned for the next rope a dope. Re-elect me first so I can take away many of your benefits.
Hahahahaha....
So in late 2019 he'll make another promise for a 'fabulous beautiful plan like the world has never seen before' for 2020. The suckers will vote for it and they'll get ... nothing. Again. Mark my words.
This is because he knows he'll finally lose his base once he bankrupts them all (anyone he does kill) under their medical debt?
You know, something is already in place, albeit imperfect. Why not work on fixing what has already been a fixture and that insurance cos., etc. have adjusted to? Seems straightforward rather that just starting over. What a waste of time.
LOL, there is not healthcare from the republicans period.
The dumb bunny never had a plan. He just likes to hear himself speak, even if it’s not true.
realDonaldTrump failed Again America could not get it done in 2016 now wants you to wait till 2020 all a con by Trump always will be to stay out of jail!
So that’s your plan? Republicans had ten years now and have nothing. Not only that but you want to cut Medicare. That’s just mean.
For a guy with bone spurs, Trump punts a lot.
Won't be necessary, with Rahm Emanuel as P.O.T.U.S.
When your only plan is DIE..you do this.
Another example of the bullshit our President continues to serve up the US citizens. He does not care about us whatsoever!
When you have no health care plan or are not even working on one... realDonaldTrump
That anything is named after Obama, and called by that name nationwide, drives Trump crazy. It annoys King Kong that people call the ACA Obamacare. It’s why he seeks to destroy it, even if millions of Americans lose their healthcare. Prefers Trumpcare, which is TrumpU, etc
realDonaldTrump LOSER!
Hahahaha of course they are! Ahhh hahaha 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
sukihd Maybe by then they'll actually have come up with some kind of a plan. It would suck, but at least it'd be a plan.
Do the election first....then SURPRISE...the magic, best, wonderful, greatest health care program ever....doesn't exist. SURPRISE. Fantasy Health Care by Trump.
Deferring until after 2020. NEVER is just after 2020! Remember Trump doesn’t give a fk about you and your health care. All he wants to do is destroy anything Obama. He took that oath after Obama humiliated him at the WH correspondence dinner. Watch it!
I guess that means if gets re-elected, he will have another 4 years to take away people’s healthcare.
Why wait? Sounds to me you already know the GOP plan will get them voted out of office. If the plan will be so great as 45 boosts about do it now!!!! WUSSIES
Because the way things are going Republicans will win the House again in 2020. It's not that hard to figure out.
Trump said you have until after Nov 2020 to live.
Because they have no plan, can’t possibly come up with one and don’t want to be judged on their incompetence prior to the election!
Because they have nothing.
😡😡😡😡😡
Interesting. Would rather mess up healthcare after 2020 instead of doing it now and surely losing the election.
What will they do if the courts find ACA unconstitutional in the next year? Insurance markets will collapse, people will lose coverage, what will trump and mcconnell do then? Just one more self made mess that severely impacts Americans! No morals, no ethics, no credibility...
To be called as Trumpcare. !
He’s scared!!!
Yeah he doesn't care that 20-30 million people do not have coverage all of a sudden. That's his idea about population control as a lot of them will die. All of them poor people that he doesn't want in the USA anyway.
Blink.
It is the AHCA, not Obamacare. YOU GOP turned your back and would no participate in building the bill and now you call it obamacare! You are all so dedicated to tearing things down! Improve upon it and work with the Crats.
Hahahaha
Cause they got NOTHING.
Of course. He will lose in 2020 otherwise
He knows he has no shot and he will lose in 2020...so he doesn’t really care if it can’t serve him now
Trump2020 BreitbartNews KAG Mexico will pay for your Health Insurance. Cnn MSNBC FoxandFriends CBS ABC QAnon
realDonaldTrump POTUS another bad decision!!! Do it now! Your ppl are giving you bad advice again!
I really thought I had heard this was number one on his agenda if he got to be president. Did he mislead Murica?
LOL!
And Americans are supposed to believe him. Not only does he lie but Republicans have had years to come up with a plan and have zero! IcallBS LiarInChief TrumpLies
But...but... Trump said the R's would be the party of health care. Why would the party of health care have to wait to do health care? Shouldn't the party of health care already have a health care plan? How can this be?
So all of us who rely on it now have to live in fear and anxiety for two years to find out what they will replace it with? Could this abomination do ANYTHING the right way ever? No, it always has to be means-spirited, amoral, inhumane, cruel. He's a vile, repugnant tumor.
They don’t know, never have, and will not produce any health plan except kick you off and you can pray you don’t get sick.
Trump knows that his chances of winning in 2020 are slim, so this term will be his last chance to dismantle Obama;s legacy. So he's pushing to repeal ACA. R politicians know that trying to repeal ACA will get them killed in 2020. Trump has no support for this, so had to punt.
Interpretation: no health plan in sight!
TяumpHasNoHealthcarePlan
Because there is no plan
Because Unity! He’s thrown in the legislative towel.
Yes. He really stepped in it with this. Lololol
As the saying goes, 'fool me twice, you must be a deplorable.'
Which GOP replacement is that?
Deja Vu all over again!
If you believe Trump on healthcare, you must also believe you got your money’s worth on that diploma from Trump University. Resist We made a deck of playing cards. Trump is the Ace of ♠️ KnowYourDeplorables
POTUS does not have a health care plan at all. Just another attempt to swindle the American people. The Despot has to go!
That means there’s no healthcare plan
realDonaldTrump does not clue about healthcare. So the administration is suing to end Obamacare without a plan to replace it. That’s the equivalent of putting holes in your lifeboat. I can’t think of a more irresponsible act; other than losing children or closing the border.
The GOP health care plan is a unicorn. some people believe it exists, but does it, really?
And THIS should help the death of this idiot’s re-election efforts.
Couldn't get it done when he had full control of Congress, why should anyone believe he ever will?
So they will run on the idea they will repeal the ACA and replace it with a mystery plan that will be so much better? Isn't that exactly what they ran on in '16?
Worked good at midterms!
Come on people give the GOP a break. It takes time to figure out how to get the 1% more money while at the same time screwing the other 99%. Do you expect this to be done overnight?
Two more years of nothing, aside from lies. Wish I had a job like that. We need to fire the bunch for 2020.
Yet, the ACA/health insurance for all still needs to be a topic for discussion in the run-up to the election.
It’ll take them that long to come up with one.
Republicans are frauds. Tried to get rid of Obamacare for a decade. They will cut pre-existing conditions and women’s care.
Can we just have one day when he is not a total jerk?
This Lazy Liar got punkd again
That's because they have no plan that would satisfy Americans!!!
Then stop attacking obamacare until you do have a plan!
Which means, Trump will be out of office!!!😜
I guess now it's back to the Wall r some other frivolous idea in goverance
WELL TRUMP IS GOING TO LOSE THE ELECTION SO IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT HE SAYS
So much for that promise. GOP doesn’t want any part of that prior to election. This way they’ll lie to get re-elected and then screw everybody after the election. Meanwhile they all have Cadillac healthcare compliments of their constituents.
You gotta figure the health plan will be the greatest. Just like his Trump University. Look how well that turned out.
Yeah, he realized he was about to screw up big time!
So his plan is to take away ACA and leave nothing in it's wake for 2 yrs? THEN start thinking up something? And if he doesn't win? And if they don't have the Senate Those are possibilities. So basically it's all about erasing Obama- nothing to do with protecting us!!!!!
So the Billion$$$ the healthcare lobbyists have invested in crafting our healthcare policies over last couple decades is paying HUGE returns!!! Chalk another one up for the swamp
The courts will continue to shoot this down. He must really enjoy losing.
Great plan. After 2020 election you will all be gone and democrats will control all offices of government
WAIT WHERE'S HIS 'GREAT HEALTHCARE PLAN' GOP THE PARTY OF HEALTHCARE! WHAT A JOKE. THE LIAR N CHIEF AGAIN CONES UP WITH A NO PLAN. AND WILL BLAME DEMS. HIS GOP HAD THE MAJORITY FOR 2 F*KING YEARS AND STILL CANNOT COME UP WITH A PLAN. GOP IS THE PARTY OF JOKESTERS.
In 2015 tRump told 60 Minutes that his health plan would provide universal health coverage paid by the government. “I am going to take care of everybody”, tRump said. My question is where is it? GOP has had over two years to 'replace' with Trumpcare!
Donald Trump, Campaign all you want. You are lying to the american people about health care for all, we knew it! Now you are saying to wait until 2020? Republicans DO NOT want affordable health care, that’s why they will be voted out!
That’s because there is no plan.
Smart move you idiot! Finally realized you could screw the America Public after the election.
You'll have all the time in the world to test drive the car once you buy it. Trust me. It's the greatest car in the world! He's such a con man. And his base (and Republicans and Fox News) are the greatest marks the world has ever known.
Bwahahahaha! realDonaldTrump must think people are idiots. And they are if the fall for this “plan.” DangerousDelusionalTrump TrumpLiesEveryTimeHeSpeaks LaziestPresidentEver NarcissisticPersonalityDisorder
'Trust me'
dumbass president
GOP’s window for healthcare reform was ‘16-‘18. Comical that Trump thinks punting it until after 2020 will do anything.
He has know plan as usual
The Trump GOP healthcare plan: HURRY UP AND DIE.
After 2020 elections the Republicans will all sit down and draft a better solution to health care for Americans.
Super smart plan Mr. President. Everyone will want to vote for a total 'Unknown plan',,,as if we should trust your word...lol...
Now there is a surprise.
The last Republican-Trump health plan was a disaster! Expect their next one to also be a disaster.
So basically, don't let them. Vote Democrat.
The check's in the mail...
