Like after Mid-Term Elections ????CBS News
President Trump is giving an extended timeline for when his administration could be expected to roll out a new plan to replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA), former President Obamas landmark healthcare legislation.
In an interview with Fox News Bill OReilly that aired Sunday, Mr. Trump made the vague assertion that it could take til sometime into next year.
Asked if Americans could expect a replacement plan in 2017, the president said, yes, in the process and maybe itll take till sometime into next year but were certainly going to be in the process.
He added that its very complicated, but urged Americans to remember that Obamacare is a disaster.

So in other words, he's going to let businesses suffer under the weight of Obamacare for another 2 years. Got it.

You can't just wave your pen and tweet and be king. Policy is dense and difficult, especially in a nation this large and diverse. A lot harder than selling your name to put on a bunch of crap.

We're going to get rid of all of you baggers anyway with your no sympathy for little kids and gun laws.

Average people will figure out how to use the exchange properly and see that Obamacare saves them a lot of money.
