GOP presidential candidate Ron DeSantis said his health care plan will replace ObamaCare if he is elected to the White House, promising that his full plan will be released in the spring.

NBC’s Kristen Welker pressed DeSantis, the Florida governor, on former President Trump’s vow to repeal and replace ObamaCare — a promise that he failed to keep during his time in the White House.

“Here’s what I will do. What I think they’re going to need to do is have a plan that will supersede ObamaCare, that will lower prices for people so that they can afford health care while also making sure that people will preexisting conditions are protected. And we’re going to look at the big institutions that are causing prices to be high: Big Pharma, big insurance, and big government,” he said on “Meet the Press” on Sunday.

However, he offered scant details for his proposal when asked what “supersede” meant. He said that his plan will have coverage that is “different and better” at the “lowest possible price.”

    “My plan is going to replace Obamacare by having the exact same plan as Obamacare.”

    They can’t replace it because Republicans came up with it in the first place.

          It was a win, a bare fucking minium win. Something like 60 million more Americans have healthcare now and pre-existing conditions are covered, which used to be insurance companies go to for declining even more claims.

          It’s shitty, but so much better than the abysmal system we had before.

            insurance != healthcare. that 60 million people can now successfully become bankrupt while maybe gettning some care is not a ‘win’.

            its a conservative + democrat love letter to insurance companies. you know, the only industry that literally only profits at the cost of human suffering.

            america is #1 in medical bankruptcy despite insurance

            but yeah, now the insurance company cant NOT take our money before denying the claim, thanks obama

      Didn’t said Vulture Captial Investment firm, the founder of Bain Captial, ol’ “binders full of women”, Mitt Romney, recently break from the GOP and say he’d vote Democrat?

      Have to admit its weird being on the same side of anything as that police impersonating shitstain.

        Sort of. He said he would rather vote Dem than Trump or Ramaswamy. That’s still something, but it does suggest he’d happily vote for Desantis, for example.
