Donald Trump has said he wants to “take care of” all Americans with respect to their health care, but he has not proposed a plan that would do that, or even articulated principles for reform that would move in that direction. Instead, he has embraced broad concepts for an ACA replacement plan that would leave millions of people without health insurance.
If opponents of the ACA want to begin to rolling back what the law and to move in a new and better direction with reform, they would be wise to ignore what Trump has proposed and to embrace instead the House GOP plan. That plan at least gives them the chance to show they understand that insurance matters, and that no American who wants to enroll in health insurance should be forced to go without it.
