I've not had that answered in all the years I've asked it. It cost the (D)'s the White House.

OK How would he do this? He was never given the chance to do so. Remember the Republicans voters and politicians were fighting it since Day 1. This was even before the "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan. If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor," comment to help bully pulpit the law through. The Republicans won the House for 2011 and kept it from then until Obama's last day. How would Obama be able to "fix it" with people who are NOT willing to work at all and block any Senate bill that would have come in over the next four years? Forget about trying to fix in Obama's last two years, the Republicans owned the Senate as well.

How about answering that, instead of providing cover for the con man?
Wow, in 60 days you can absolutely and factually say he's a "failure as a President". Nope, no ideology clouded glasses there.

Just for kicks, please show me where he said "I have a plan"? I mean, since you're claiming he's said it's HIS plan.

I've heard him say "we" or "the" but I honestly don't remember him saying "I" or "my" or any other singular term when referencing a new healthcare plan...

65 days into his "First 100 days," the typical benchmark of a President and he has setback after setback into his campaign promises he has put forth. The Wall is getting estimates from potential contractors so it could be even more than expected and yet Trump will not get Mexico to pay for it. His travel ban(s) was(were) blocked(held up) by the courts. TrumpCare he deflected to RyanCare as soon as Republican support started to crumble. China he wanted to list as a currency maniupulator Day 1, guess what: we're STILL waiting on that.

Nobody knows if Mexico will or won't pay for the wall as of yet so that argument is moot. As for his travel bans? Well, I guess if one judge shops in the most liberal places one might just find a judge or two that will disagree with the leader of the other party. Legislation from the bench seems to be the "in" thing nowadays.
Let's see what the more conservative appeals court says or, if it goes that far what SCOTUS has to say. So again, the argument is moot at this point as he's not "lost" anything yet with respect to this.
Third, healthcare. Like I asked before, please show where he said "my or I" when referencing the healthcare plan. I don't disagree there were mistakes made they just weren't all on him.

China, well, it's only been 65 days and he's been a bit busy. He may get there and after meeting with departments and finding out information he didn't have access to prior to sitting in the big chair he may find out he really shouldn't do that. Would you prefer he just ran off and did it without knowing the unintended consequences? THEN what would you say?

First people scream "he's going toooooo fast" and now it's flipped to "he's not doing what he said" fast enough. How's about making up your mind?

Should we list all of the LIES Obama and past presidents have told to the public, would that make you feel better?

He tells Scott Pelley "I am going to take care of everybody. I don't care if it costs me votes or not."

What Trump describes as his plan back on 9/25/2015 is not even remotely close to the the bill that was given up on last Friday.

Scott Pelley: What's your plan for Obamacare?

Donald Trump: Obamacare's going to be repealed and replaced. Obamacare is a disaster if you look at what's going on with premiums where they're up 45, 50, 55 percent.

Scott Pelley: How do you fix it?

Donald Trump: There's many different ways, by the way. Everybody's got to be covered. This is an un-Republican thing for me to say because a lot of times they say, "No, no, the lower 25 percent that can't afford private." But--

Scott Pelley: Universal health care?

Donald Trump: I am going to take care of everybody. 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.

Scott Pelley: The uninsured person is going to be taken care of how?

Donald Trump: They're going to be taken care of. I would make a deal with existing hospitals to take care of people. And, you know what, if this is probably--

Scott Pelley: Make a deal? Who pays for it?

Donald Trump: --the government's gonna pay for it. But we're going to save so much money on the other side. But for the most it's going to be a private plan and people are going to be able to go out and negotiate great plans with lots of different competition with lots of competitors with great companies and they can have their doctors, they can have plans, they can have everything.

We all know. It's ok. You can say it.
