Trump's "healthcare thing" that he's just released wasn't actually a thing back when he was campaigning. His promise was that Obama's healthcare thing wouldn't be a thing anymore, and that would be that. The voters weren't presented with his latest plan as an option so that they could actually weigh in for or against it at the time, but I digress.

Actually, he promised to "repeal and replace" (search YT for the videos of him saying it, if you don't believe me). Replace would suggest something else in the place of the previous thing. Just a point of fact.

When he became president, he went even further and said that the government will pick up the bill for anyone that's uninsured, because he'd save so much money on other things. Again, if you don't believe this, feel free to search YT for clips where he says exactly that.

Here too, please stop

This is not something that most want to see debated here. There are plenty of other outlets for this kind of "debate". Please stop.

thanks,

Yeah, you're right. I think what has my brain a little twisted is that this isn't really a repeal that he's proposing right now, and so it isn't really a replace either, it's just a mod. What he's doing isn't what his voters were expecting, and that's essentially what I meant to say in response to the previous comment.
