This video was put together back in August. So he’s made the promise a bunch of times more recently, including in all the debates and town halls in the last month:
Trump last night in the debate on this subject, promising once again that he’s going to offer a better health care plan:
First of all, I’ve already done something that nobody thought was possible. Through the legislature, I terminated the individual mandate. That is the worst part of Obamacare, as we call it. The individual mandate — we have to pay a fortune for the privilege of not having to pay for bad health insurance. I terminate it; it’s gone.
Now it’s in court, because Obamacare is no good. But then I made a decision, ‘Run it as well as you can’ — to my people, great people — ‘Run it as well as you can.’ I could have gone the other route and made everybody very unhappy. They ran it. Premiums are down, everything’s down. Here’s the problem. No matter how well you run it, it’s no good. What we’d like to do is terminate it. We have the individual mandate done.
I don’t know that it’s going to work. If we don’t win, we will have to run it and we’ll have Obamacare, but it will be better run. But it no longer is Obamacare. Because without the individual mandate, it is much different. Pre-existing conditions will always stay. What I would like to do is a much better health care, much better.
We’ll always protect people with pre existing — so I’d like to terminate Obamacare, come up with a brand new beautiful health care. The Democrats will do it because there’ll be tremendous pressure on them. And we might even have the House at that time. And I think we’re going to win the House, okay?
You’ll see, but I think we’re gonna win the House. But come up with a better health care, always protecting people with pre existing conditions — and one thing very important. We have 180 million people out there that have great private health care, far more than we’re talking about with Obamacare. Joe Biden is going to terminate all of those policies.
Setting aside the nonsense about terminating policies, this is probably the most coherent response he’s given about what will happen if he’s re-elected: he plans to strongarm Democrats into signing on to some thrown-together junk GOP plan out of desperation once his handpicked justices throw 20 million people off their health insurance. The suffering will be immense.
It is very, very hard for me to respect people are still buying this snake oil. In fact, I can’t. Health care is a top priority for the vast majority of Americans, insured or not. Anyone who is willing to allow this imbecile to destroy what we already have and then keep “promising” something better for four more years is a fool. I’m sorry. They are.
