He'd replace the Affordable Care Act with health savings accounts, "which are great,". When pressed by interviewer Anderson Cooper about what would happen when Obamacare is repealed and the mandate disappeared, therefore allowing insurance companies to deny coverage to those with pre-existing conditions, Trump said: -
Repeal Obamacare. Replace it with something.
Trump was mocked in the February 25 debate for being vague about how he would replace Obamacare. "You'll have many different plans. You'll have competition, you'll have so many different plans," he said at the debate, earning insults from Sen. Marco Rubio. -
Repeal Obamacare. Not everyone will be covered.
His health care plan, finally released online in March, has far more in common with the kind of health care proposals the rest of the Republicans want than his earlier praise for Canada suggested it might.It would likely cause 21 million people to lose their health insurance and cost about $270 billion over 10 years, according to the independent group Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. -
Repeal Obamacare. Look to Canada for ideas
In August, Trump was asked if he still supported the single-payer health care he'd touted in the past. He said America should have a private system but praised Canada and Scotland's socialized system.
"What I'd like to see is a private system without the artificial lines around every state … Get rid of the artificial lines, and you will have yourself great plans. And then we have to take care of the people that can't take care of themselves. And I will do that through a different system." -
Repeal Obamacare. Cover everybody.
"I am going to take care of everybody," Trump told CBS in September. "I don't care if it costs me votes or not. Everybody's going to be taken care of much better than they're taken care of now."
