    Trump does not want to talk about his record on healthcare because he does not have a plan to address the fact that percentage of individuals with insurance have gone down for the first time in nearly a decade.

    Meanwhile Democrats in the House have actually passed a massive bipartisan bill aimed at addressing drug pricing while Republicans flounder to even come up with a plan that can get approval amongst their own party. Democratic Candidates for the President all have tangible plans for addressing this salient issue for most Americans.

    Perhaps the reason why Trump is unable to even present a healthcare plan to replace Obamacare is because he is a ****ing moron. Perhaps it is because he likes to spend nearly 20% of his time golfing.

    Trump has proven his own statement when he said that the President "plays golf to escape work while American goes down the drain."

    The RP has never had any interest in ending ObamaCare. I assume you know that. Right?

    People know who I'm talking about. Message isn't meant for you.

    BTW... I didn't like McConnell much till you all started hating him. I thought he was a paul Ryan rino. Makes me think he's an honorable patriot doing great good for America and Americans.

    :salute: McConnell

    Bingo, blame McCain.

    Since then, Trump has continued to work on a health plan ---- in spite of opposition ---- and has at least succeeded in hacking away at parts of Obamacare, which may die its own slow death (and thanks to Democrats and McCain, now there is no replacement currently....)

    It's ALWAYS blame someone else with you guys. The fact is that trump is an abject failure and NEVER had nay real plan to replace obamacare with something "wonderful". Just like getting Mexico to pay for his idiotic wall the obamacare replacement never existed anywhere except for in empty rhetoric.

    The only thing that McCain killed was the skinny repeal. Trump had no replacement plan then and still has no replacement.

    Meanwhile Obamacare is more popular than ever.

    Are you going to pretend that Trump didn't already try to eliminate Obamacare during the first couple months of his Presidency...

    Obviously.

    Just LIES to get elected.

    Trump STILL exhibits ZERO understanding of how the health-care system even works.

    I can tell you exactly why a replacement has not been done yet for that piece of crap Obamacare, that helped .001% of the population and hurt 99.99999 of the rest of the country, with verifiable facts.......but I have done so numerous times already, but the right listens and understands facts, the left does not, so why bother anymore. But I am the worlds leading expert on the ACA.

    I know people who had to get 2nd jobs after working the same job for years because Democrats used Obamacare to cut thier hours. ACA is just another globalist neo-communist attack on America and Americans.

    Are you going to argue that eliminating Obamacare is the same as replacing?

    "More than three years to offer a proposal" is an acceptable definition of "immediate replacement" to Trump defenders, apparently.

    You should take your expertise to Trump and help him craft an actual plan then. Because it has been three years and we are still waiting.

    They're not mutually exclusive, as evident with one of Trumps first executive order during his first day in office and the first bills introduced by the 115th Congress.

    That doesn't make sense. He promised an immediate replacement. He has not even proposed one after three years.

    This is false. He proposed it on his first day.
