""We have to fix health care, because Obamacare is a disaster," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One during a flight this week to South Korea. Trump has frequently attempted to repeal the health care law implemented by former President Barack Obama - indeed, one of the most embarrassing moments in the first half of Trump's first term included his failure to pass a repeal of the ACA. That attempt seven years ago was a partisan package offered by Republicans (which faced bipartisan opposition)."
""When you see the increases in Obamacare, it never worked," Trump claimed, referring to rising prices of health plans. "It never will work, and we can do something with the Democrats much better than Obamacare." He called for a plan that would cost "less money" and provide "better health care." "I think that's something that could come out of this with the Democrats. We work with the Democrats," Trump reiterated."
President Donald Trump urged a bipartisan replacement of the Affordable Care Act, citing drastic premium increases and calling Obamacare a 'disaster.' He asserted that rising plan prices prove Obamacare 'never worked' and said a new plan could cost 'less money' and provide 'better health care.' Trump invoked past Republican repeal efforts and acknowledged their failure, noting partisan opposition. He suggested collaborating with Democrats to produce a superior alternative, but his recent antagonism toward Democrats and actions during the government shutdown create uncertainty about his willingness to reach across the aisle.
