Trump hates Obamacare because of the Obama part. The most hardcore of Trump's base hates Obamacare for the same reason.

I hear no plan for a replacement. The only goal is to kill all of the Obama legacy he can.

He's building stuff in his name, the wall, healthcare. He's not going to tell us he's just rebranding O care. Hope he gets none of it.

The proof will be if a replacement plan is introduced if the Fifth Circuit and SCOTUS strike down the ACA as Trump has asked.

I think that if Trump really meant for the GOP to be "the party of health care," there would already have been a replacement bill introduced.

Again, I hope you are right.

If he can re-brand Ocare...he'll expect alliegiance from everybody. The mans sick. I can see him INDIVIDUALLY withholding healthcare from people. I can see that real easy. Using it as a hammer to nail people with. He's certainly not doing it for us. Its all him.

If he wanted to rebrand it, he’d think of, or have his staff think of, some tiny improvement so he could claim the entire Affordable Care Act as his own product. That would have been his smart move.

... because they think it's the one issue that will completely distract the Democrats from pursuing the Mueller report.

Of course, they're wrong.

they are acting like it is actually going to fall in court. but it already went all the way up and back again.
this is just a ploy to change the subject. they are seeing that nobody is buying the barr smokescreen.

A lot of Republican voters have an intellectual disconnect between using the policies that afford them some health and dignity and the politicians they like.

It took me some years to draw straight lines and face unpleasant facts. All too many people never do.
