Trump’s Vague Claims and Responses

During the interview, Welker questioned Trump about his claim during the campaign of having “concepts of a plan” for health care. Trump replied that they indeed had concepts that would be better. However, when pressed further about having a fully-developed plan, he stated that they had the biggest health care companies and doctors looking at it. He criticized Obamacare, claiming it stinks and is lousy, while suggesting there are better answers. He also emphasized that if a better answer is found, he would present it to Democrats and others.

Trump further stated that Americans with pre-existing conditions will still have coverage under his “concepts of a plan” and that he wants “better health care for less money.” But when asked if Americans will see his “fully-developed” plan, he said he doesn’t know if they will see it at all.

Trump’s Rewriting of Obamacare History

The president-elect, who promised to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act during his 2016 campaign, has tried to rewrite history by claiming he tried to “save” the law. Earlier in the interview, Welker cited Republicans who said it’s no longer feasible to repeal and replace Obamacare due to its deep entrenchment in the system. Trump used this opportunity to slam the late Sen. John McCain for his thumbs-down vote against repealing the ACA’s individual mandate and described how he made Obamacare “work.”

Despite being asked if he did try to overturn Obamacare, Trump insisted it’s lousy. He also mentioned that his Justice Department tried to direct the Supreme Court to overturn it and claimed to have received a “surprising opinion” from the court. He further stated that Americans would have had “much better” health care if it were overturned and that he did the right thing from a human standpoint.
