And what you don't seem to understand is I'm looking at present candidates. My vote and yours and anyone elses is for our future. I am only concerned with that. Which candidate has the best plan going forward? I haven't decided which Democrat to vote for yet. I only know Trump isn't even in the running.

Trump has no reason to do anything other than support Medicare or Social Security; he’s a believer.

Freeing individual-mandate hostages from bondage was a big step toward normalizing health care. He did that already.

He says he'll support it. But that really is all he says. He also says at some point he will be looking at entitlements -- some point? When? What does that even mean? He's gonna cut them? No one knows. Nothing to put my vote on.

I support Medicare and Social Security. Most Republicans do.

Remember Trump said it was “ going to be easy, so easy”.

Two months later, healthcare was not mentioned in the inaugural address.
Well off conservatives who are blessed to be in great health and rarely, if ever need to go to the doctor as in Trump can't relate to poor, unhealthy people who can't say the same. At best they may pay lip service to health care in case it gets a few votes.

The uncertainty is causing an increase in the health care markets why the need to delay. The republican states filed the lawsuit that got us here, what exactly is their issue with expediting. They wanted the ACA declared constitutional and they did their best between removing the mandate and the lawsuit, wouldn't you like to see their plan before the election. The democrats aren't hurting the GOP, they shot themselves in the foot with their actions. "What's one more year" is a terrible defense that doesn't remotely pass as an argument for another delay.


I would like to know before the election what the republican plan will be for the replacement.

Trump is prone to changing his mind a lot or is that lying? Either way, I don't want to be gullible enough to trust him.

No doubt, it's ready to go at a moment's notice after their next big win.

If I'm not mistaken I think he said something about it being replaced the first hour?
