Trump says Obamacare replacement plan could take until 2018 (it's very complicated,...)

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 Obama’s landmark healthcare legislation.

In an interview with Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly 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 it’ll take till sometime into next year but we’re certainly going to be in the process.”

He added that it’s “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.
