Is Trump keeping Obamacare and calling it Trumpcare?

He likes part of it. It seems.

    No.  I just read that he seems to like two things:  allowing parents to insure their kids until they reach 26, and allowing crossing state lines to buy insurance.  That's it.  I agree with the state line issue, but unless kids are full-time students, why should parents be supporting them at 26.

    Nothing new. The things he is talking about keeping are things that Republicans have proposed keeping in their plans. 

    No blackout for insurance coverage for preexisting conditions.
    Allowing young adults to stay on parents health insurance until age 26

    Trump promised this: ‘Full repeal of Obamacare’ and replace it with a market-based alternative.

    This was what you vote do for based on your pre-election remarks around this place.

    Appealing OC and replacing it with something else yes. The fact is that every plan that the Republicans have proposed to replace OC has included these provisions....it doesn't matter if they are the only things left from OC or if they are written in to the new replacement bill. Is only games to worry about it. 
    Trump campaigned on keeping the preexisting conditions back in the primaries by the way.  I will find a link later.

    I will repeat myself. It's not what you have been telling about this subject before election. You have a standpoint until you change it, it's okay. Guess Obama is no longer an enemy.

    I am not the President elect. Trump is and Trump said in Feb 2015 he liked the Preexisting conditions section. 

    Obama has never been my enemy.

    Sure. You never said you were agreeing with Trump on his main promises. I get it.

    His main promise is to repeal OC and replace it. The bill that he will replace it with will have the preexisting conditions part in it and the 26 yr olds. 
    He said this in Feb 2015....like you just said I have agreed with him since before the election. Yes did. I agreed in Feb 2015 also.

    It's all okay 2Cents, you make your reasoning retrospective. He's your man with all what he holds in his hands, and what slips over his lips. And if it all fails we can always call it all a joke.

    Obama never called it Obamacare. He calls it Medicare (medical care).

    Actually it is called the Affordable Care Act.
