President Donald Trump on Sunday tweeted that a new plan to repeal and replace Obamacare is “on its way,” though he did not specify when.

“Will have much lower premiums & deductibles while at the same time taking care of pre-existing conditions!” he tweeted. “ObamaCare is dead.”

Trump also went after Democrats, who he called “the party of obstruction.”

  1. Will his plan adapt to the recently discovered unusual link between coconut oil and Alzheimer’s? Will Trump disclose his coconut oil intake?

  2. Hmmm … “Lower premiums and deductibles while also taking care of pre-existing conditions,” eh? What, will co-pays be 80% of the charges? Sorry, oh notGreat One, but unless you are proposing some sort of all-inclusive (meaning 100% of us) single-payer plan, where we all participate and we all pay into the system through taxes or a combination of taxes and premiums, you’re lying. As usual.

  3. Trump declared yesterday in a speech everyone outside the “base” he has pretty much is an enemy.
    I feel honored.

  4. Pathological liar lies again.

  5. Medicare for all is not a bad thing
