Donald Trump keeps continuing to promise that he has a health care plan in the works. Still, nothing ever comes of it, while, at the same time, this president is trying to eradicate Obamacare, and with that, coverage for pre-existing conditions will be gone. So far, we haven’t seen a plan, though.
“My first day in office, I am going to ask Congress to put a bill on my desk, getting rid of this disastrous law and replacing it with reforms that expand choice, freedom, affordability,” said Trump on Oct. 25, 2016. “You’re going to have such great health care at a tiny fraction of the cost. And it’s going to be so easy.”
In June of 2019, Trump promised that he was on the verge of unveiling a “phenomenal” health care bill. And just last night during Trump’s ABC town hall, the president said, “I have it all ready. I have it all ready,” in regards to a health care plan.
Watch:
“I interviewed you in June of last year, you said the healthcare plan would come in two weeks. You told Chris Wallace this summer it’d come in three weeks. You promised an executive order on preexisting…”

But, on Wednesday during Kayleigh McEnany’s press briefing, the White House press secretary refused to comment on Trump’s plan that the president said is “ready.” Instead, McEnany told CNN White House correspondent Kaitlyn Collins when she asked McEnany about the plan, to “come work here at the White House” if she wants to be provided with the details.

I’m going to go out on a limb to suggest that Trump is lying about having a health care plan amid the raging pandemic.
After 3 top health officials testified they were not aware or involved in the formulation of a health care plan at the White House, McEnany advises to “come work here” when asked who is working on it. Only says stakeholders including domestic policy council are.

Apparently, to get a simple question answered, you have to get a job at the White House.
It was a pretty simple question. https://t.co/oBUfXo3gFU

Over six and a half million Americans have contracted COVID_19, and millions are out of work, with many losing their health care. And we have a president that’s lying about a health care plan, among other things.
I’m just going to leave this old tweet here:
We will immediately repeal and replace ObamaCare – and nobody can do that like me. We will save $’s and have much better healthcare!
