When Donald Trump announced his plans around Obamacare, he first explained **Repeal and replace**, but later changed this to **Repeal now, replace later**. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.118.94.49 (talk) 12:43, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep in mind the Kushner family is heavily invested in the ACA Exchange subsidies and so Trump was never going to repeal Obamacare. Clam chowdah (talk) 03:40, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
