Here he is in May of 2018 saying the same thing: Trump says 'great health plans' to come in a few weeks President Donald Trump told attendees at a May 10 rally in Elkhart, Ind., that his administration will soon release "great health plans," according to Bloomberg. President Trump said the health plans will come out over the next four weeks. His administration attempted unsuccessfully to push ACA repeal packages in 2017, and Trump called the ACA a "failed experiment" at the rally, according to Bloomberg. [link to www.beckershospitalreview.com (secure)] Trump: ObamaCare replacement coming in 'a couple of weeks' President Trump said on Saturday that a plan to replace the Affordable Care Act will come "in a couple of weeks." "We are going to be submitting in a couple of weeks a great healthcare plan that's going to take the place of the disaster known as ObamaCare," he said at a campaign rally in Melbourne, Fla. "It will be repealed and replaced." "Just so you understand, our plan will be much better healthcare at a much lower cost," he added. "OK? Nothing to complain about." [link to thehill.com (secure)] Trump: "My first day in office, I am going to ask Congress to put a bill on my desk getting rid of this disastrous law and replacing it with reforms that expand choice, freedom, affordability. You're going to have such great health care at a tiny fraction of the cost. And it's going to be so easy." November 1st, 2016: “When we win on November 8th and elect a Republican Congress, we will be able to immediately repeal and replace Obamacare -- have to do it. Obamacare has to be replaced and we will do it and we will do it very, very quickly." April 2, 2019: Trump: No health care changes until after the 2020 elections After a week of public calls for fellow Republicans in Congress to act on a new plan to repeal and replace the Obama health law, President Donald Trump made clear late Monday night that he does not expect immediate action on any GOP health care changes, saying nothing would happen in Congress until after the 2020 election.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76136394 Now, with the two weeks expiring Sunday, there is no evidence that the administration has designed a replacement for the 2010 health-care law. Instead, there is a sense of familiarity. Repeatedly and starting before he took office, Trump has vowed that he is on the cusp of delivering a full-fledged plan to reshape the health-care system along conservative lines and replace the central domestic achievement of Barack Obama’s presidency. No total revamp has ever emerged. Trump’s latest promise comes amid the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, which has infected millions, caused more than 150,000 deaths and cost Americans their work and the health benefits that often come with jobs. His vow comes three months before the presidential election and at a time when Trump’s Republican allies in Congress may least want to revisit an issue that was a political loser for the party in the 2018 midterm elections. Yet Trump has returned to the theme in recent days. “We’re going to be doing a health-care plan. We’re going to be doing a very inclusive health-care plan. I’ll be signing it sometime very soon,” Trump said during an exchange with reporters at an event in Belleair, Fla., on Friday. When a reporter noted that he told Fox’s Wallace that he would sign it in two weeks, Trump added: “Might be Sunday. But it’s going to be very soon.” [link to www.healthleadersmedia.com (secure)] Also from the article and also very true: Trump’s decision to revive a health-care promise that he has failed to deliver on — this time with less than 100 days before Election Day — carries political risks. Although it may appeal to voters who don’t like the ACA, it also highlights his party’s inability to come up with an alternative, despite spending almost a decade promising one. It also raises questions about what exactly his plan would look like and whether it would cover fewer Americans than the current system as the pandemic ravages the country. ---- Not only did he not deliver today (again), we don't have a clue what Trump's plan looks like. Or if he even has one. |

Never has. Never will. Exactly two weeks ago, compulsive liar Donald Trump did what compulsive liars do... lie compulsively during his interview with Chris Wallace. In response to a question by Chris Wallace why Trump hasn’t had a healthcare plan in 3.5 years, Trump’s response was he was going to have a healthcare plan ready to sign in two weeks. That is today.
