In a meeting with the interim first lady of Venezuela, Fabiana Rosales De Guaido, President Trump said he now understands the complexity of health care after failed attempts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA), reiterating that the Republican Party will now be the "party of great health care."
"I mean it 100 percent, I understand health care now, especially very well. A lot of people don't understand it, we are going to be, the Republicans, the party of great health care," said Mr. Trump in an Oval Office meeting on Wednesday. "The Democrats have, they've let you down, they came up with Obamacare, it's terrible."
The president cited rising costs of premiums, saying "people are going broke trying to pay" for their health care costs. He maintained, however, that his administration had "made it better" by "administering Obamacare very well" but still slammed the policy as "horrible, no good, it's something that we can't live with in this country."
His comments come a day after the Justice Department took the position in court that the entire ACA should be overturned. In legal papers filed on Monday, the Justice Department argued for the first time that the ACA is unconstitutional.

(11,495 posts)We will find out. It is obvious trump thinks it will help "HIM" so he really doesn't care about the rest of the republicans running.

(146 posts)Especially very well. If its so bad yet he administered it well, did he work to lower premiums? Has there ever been a replacement plan that covered anything more than catastrophies? He thinks insurance companies are going to fall in line to provide better coverage at a lower cost? Will his admin provide states with increased Medicaid funding to cover everyone? No to all.
