ANSWER: Both of the above
Following his swearing in as the US President,
Trump will convene a special session of the US Congress to repeal and replace Obamacare, a signature healthcare initiative of the outgoing US President Barack Obama
- House and Senate under Republican control have repealed Obamacare many times, but no Republican president so far has taken the next step
- Trump’s healthcare plan is very different from the Affordable Care Act and Obamacare
- A Republican spokesperson said the Trump healthcare plan will let Americans buy healthcare insurance across state lines the way auto insurance and other goods and services are purchased
- This would block Medicaid to the states
- It would create health savings accounts to individuals which is a free market solution working well in the private sector
- The Obamacare penalty will also be eliminated through the tax reform
