According to President Donald Trump, voting on new healthcare plan to replace Obamacare can wait until after 2020 elections. In a statement made by the U.S. president on Monday, 1st April, 2019, he stated that he is willing to wait until after the 2020 elections to give Republicans time to come out which a perfect healthcare plans that will perfectly replace Obamacare.
Despite the repeated vows by Republicans Congressmen to come out with a draft proposal to replace Democratic President Barack Obama’s signature Affordable Care Act popularly referred to as Obamacare, they had been unable to come out with any proposal so fare.
Trump’s vow last week that the Republican Party will be “the party of healthcare” caught his fellow Republicans off guard after the Justice Department backed a lawsuit intended to wipe out Obamacare, which has helped millions of Americans get health insurance.
In a series of tweets on Monday night, Trump said Republicans are developing “a really great HealthCare Plan with far lower premiums (cost) and deductibles than Obamacare.”
“In other words it will be far less expensive and much more usable than ObamaCare. Vote will be taken right after the Election when Republicans hold the Senate and win back the House,” he said.
Trump’s move suggests he is willing to debate the future of the U.S. healthcare system during the 2020 presidential election campaign rather than try to reach agreement on a plan sooner.
