Donald Trump is pledging to get rid of Obamacare and replace it with the vague promise of something "much better," his seven-point plan says as much.
To be fair, Trump is far from the first GOP candidate to avoid specifics when discussing health care policy. Republicans have been talking about "repealing and replacing" the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) every day since it was enacted six years ago, but few have offered concrete plans for how they would do so in a way that does not lead to millions losing the coverage they have gained through the PPACA.
What is unique about Trump, however, are his wild shifts in rhetoric when it comes to health care policy. As is the case in a number of other policy arenas, it truly is anybody's guess what the bombastic billionaire would do about health care if elected.
