Trump's Full and Complete Health Care Plan

[ClydeR]

Two weeks ago Trump said he would announce a full and complete health care plan put into force by executive order, and he would do it within two weeks. Let's all get ready.

From a July 19, 2020, interview..


WALLACE: Why does it make sense to overturn Obamacare which people now are relying on? Democrats are going to say, "The man who wanted to kill Obamacare is going to take away your -- the protection for pre-existing conditions."

TRUMP: First of all, we got rid of the individual mandate.

WALLACE: I understand.

TRUMP: Pre-existing conditions will always be taken care of by me and Republicans, 100 percent.

WALLACE: But you've been in office three and a half years, you don't have a plan.

TRUMP: Well, we haven't had. Excuse me. You heard me yesterday. We're signing a health care plan within two weeks, a full and complete health care plan that the Supreme Court decision on DACA gave me the right to do. So we're going to solve -- we're going to sign an immigration plan, a health care plan, and various other plans. And nobody will have done what I'm doing in the next four weeks. The Supreme Court gave the president of the United States powers that nobody thought the president had, by approving, by doing what they did -- their decision on DACA. And DACA's going to be taken care of also. But we're getting rid of it because we're going to replace it with something much better. What we got rid of already, which was most of Obamacare, the individual mandate. And that I've already won on. And we won also on the Supreme Court. But the decision by the Supreme Court on DACA allows me to do things on immigration, on health care, on other things that we've never done before. And you're going to find it to be a very exciting two weeks.

Reporters caught up with Trump on Friday at a golf club in Florida and asked him about his new plan for healthcare..


Q Mr. President — Mr. President, what’s in your healthcare plan that’s coming on Sunday?

THE PRESIDENT: Well, we’re going to be doing a healthcare plan. We’re going to be doing a very inclusive healthcare plan. I’ll be signing it sometime very soon.

Q You said two weeks, when you spoke to Chris Wallace.

THE PRESIDENT: It might be — it might be Sunday, but it’s — it’s going to be very soon. We’re also doing a full immigration plan. We’re going to take care of a lot things that, for 25 years, they’ve been trying to get an immigration plan.

Looks like it won't be Sunday.

This is so odd. I found that something similar happened last year. In June of 2019, Trump said he would finally reveal his healthcare plan within two months, but he never did.

Two weeks ago Trump said he would announce a full and complete health care plan put into force by executive order, and he would do it within two weeks. Let's all get ready.

From a July 19, 2020, interview..

I hadn't read the transcript of that interview until now and I've just got to say.. wow. I doubt Wallace is ever going to get another interview from Trump. I would love to see him grill Biden or one of his top VP contenders.

Oh look! I found another one. It's in addition to the statements I've already posted from 2019 and 2020.

This one is from 2017, a few days before Trump was sworn into office. Trump made it all the way through the 2016 election vowing to repeal and replace Obamacare without ever revealing his replacement plan. When asked about it a few days before the inauguration, he said he was just about to reveal it.


Trump vows ‘insurance for everybody’ in Obamacare replacement plan

Trump said his plan for replacing most aspects of Obama’s health-care law is all but finished. Although he was coy about its details — “lower numbers, much lower deductibles” — he said he is ready to unveil it alongside Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).

“It’s very much formulated down to the final strokes. We haven’t put it in quite yet but we’re going to be doing it soon,” Trump said. He noted that he is waiting for his nominee for secretary of health and human services, Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.), to be confirmed. That decision rests with the Senate Finance Committee, which hasn’t scheduled a hearing.

Of course, the Senate confirmed Tom Price. Price was confirmed on February 10, 2017. Price stayed in office until September of 2017, when he was forced to resign because of alleged corrupt activities -- something about airplanes. Even though Price was in office for 231 days, Trump never got around to telling us about his healthcare plan.

From Trump's press conference yesterday in Bedminster, NJ..


Over the next two weeks I’ll be pursuing a major executive order requiring health insurance companies to cover all preexisting conditions for all customers. That’s a big thing. I’ve always been very strongly in favor. We have to cover preexisting conditions. So we will be pursuing a major executive order requiring health insurance companies to cover all preexisting conditions for all of its customers. This has never been done before, but it’s time the people of our country are properly represented and properly taken care of.

Could this be the full and complete health plan Trump said he would announce? "Never been done before"?

[ClydeR]

Did Trump ever announce the full and complete healthcare plan that he promised in July would be announced in two weeks?

The issue sort of came up during the recent ABC townhall. Stephanopoulos raised the issue of Trump's repeated promises to reveal his healthcare plan. He never got to the bottom of it.

Did Trump say "all ready" or "already"? It makes a huge difference to the nation.


STEPHANOPOULOS: But you’ve been promising a new healthcare plan.

We interviewed – I interviewed you in June of last year, you said the healthcare plan would come in two weeks. You could Chris Wallace that this summer it’d come in three weeks. You promised an executive order on preexisting…

TRUMP: I have it all ready. I have it all ready.

STEPHANOPOULOS: But it’s…you’ve been trying to strike down preexisting conditions…

TRUMP: It doesn’t matter. I have it all ready, and it’s a much better plan for you, and it’s a much better plan.

STEPHANOPOULOS: What is it?

TRUMP: And when you say Obamacare, I got rid of the individual mandate, which is the worst part of Obamacare…

STEPHANOPOULOS: You’re striking down the whole law.

TRUMP: …which wouldn’t be…pertain to you, but it’d pertain to a lot of people. Where they were going literally bust because they didn’t want to have health insurance, and they were paying for it anyway, and it was no good.

Obamacare was a disaster. Obamacare is too expensive, the premiums are too high. It’s a total disaster.

You’re going to have new healthcare, and the preexisting condition aspect of it will always be in my plan. And I’ve said that loud and clear…

STEPHANOPOULOS: But you haven’t come up with it.

TRUMP: And we got rid of the individual mandate, which essentially ended Obamacare. And I had a decision…

STEPHANOPOULOS: Only because you’re arguing for it.

It is always funny to see ClydeR threads where he is basically just talking to himself.
