Trump vowed to release a new health care plan as an alternative to the Affordable Care Act, but it looks like he will break that promise.

Trump promised to release a new health care plan before the 2020 election, but those close to the White House told the Washington Post on Thursday that no such plan is going to materialize.

Rather than come up with a plan to replace the popular Affordable Care Act, one former White House official said the plan is to prepare for massive political fallout if the Trump-backed lawsuit to destroy the ACA is successful.

"There seems to be a decreasing appetite for the 'big plan' reveal and instead just focusing on responding to the 5th Circuit with prudence and a minimum of hysteria," the official told the Post. Congressional aides told the Post the same thing, and outside conservative groups confirmed that they have not seen a health care plan.

In March, Trump insisted to reporters that the White House was working with Republican senators on a new health care plan, and vowed it would be "something that's really spectacular." When asked about a timeline for his plan, Trump declared, "We're working on a plan now."

I can't wait, unless he gets convicted prior to the debates, that if a health question is asked someone should ask this asshole................( and for the life of me I don't understand, why the citizens in attendance, cannot ask the questions, and not be pre-selected but be spontaneous.................why not).........................ask him why he did not have plan................when you / he could have taken a break from his many golf outings to devise a plan, instead of stuffing your pockets with taxpayer cash................are you that corrupt...............when we know that answer already.................don't we.............

4. Didn't Candidate Trump promise to do that on day one?

President Trump looks like kind of a slacker, doesn't he?

5. Wait, whut?

6. Of course he has a plan.

You must have a lot of money and no pre existing conditions. It really is a simple plan. When he says we will all get it he means that we will get it that we will not get it.

7. What happened to promises made , promises kept?

9. so if i'm reading this correctly

there is no plan to replace ACA, but the plan is to circle the wagons for the inevitable backlash and political fallout of destroying ACA ...

there are no wagons large enough, secure enough to protect this fascist enabling gop party if they destroy ACA without an alternative, even if it is half assed ..
mind boggling how many times this fucker had shot himself in both feet and still has any planks left stand upon ... no wonder he leans so far forward, foretells his immanent collapse

TIMBER!!!
