Video of former PresidentĀ Donald Trump vowing to terminate the Affordable Care Act (ACA) went viral on social media on Friday after he reversed his position on the issue last month.
Trump, the presumed 2024 GOP presidential nominee, is set to face off against PresidentĀ Joe BidenĀ later this year in a likely rematch of the 2020 election, as each candidate hasĀ won enough delegates to secure their partyās presidential nomination.
Trump has repeatedly vowed to repeal the ACA, which was developed under former PresidentĀ Barack ObamaĀ and is more commonly known as āObamacare,ā since launching his political career with a successful 2016 presidential bid. He attempted to kill the program shortly after taking office, but was blocked byĀ RepublicansĀ who resisted the move in theĀ Senate.
However, in a late March Truth Social post, Trump seemingly reversed his position by endorsing the ACA, while promising to keep the program in place, but make it āmuch, much, much betterā during a potential second term.
why wouldnt they want to actually repeal it?
the could proclaim victory whilst screwing over the poor and vulnerable, with the backing of their voters.
is the assumption that they dont want their voters to find out that Obamacare actually saved their asses?
Yes. Republicans know how much their constituents actually like the benefits. They hate āObamacareā but love the Affordable Care Act.
Itās kind of like Social Security. All of the Republicans say they hate it but they arenāt going to touch it with a 10-foot pole.
