Mike Pence told Republicans that Trump, on his first day in office, plans to take action on Obamacare through executive orders aimed at making sure the insurance marketplace isnt disrupted by a repeal.
To cushion the political blow of taking away Obamacare, Republicans are portraying the ACA as collapsing on its own, but signups reached 6.4 million by the Dec. 19 deadline, an increase of 400,000 over the previous years number at this time.
Republicans plan to use a fast-track procedure to repeal the Affordable Care Act, but with a built-in delay to postpone full repeal for years while they navigate the complexities of passing a replacement.
Trumps selection of Tom Price to lead the Health and Human Services Department provoked Democratic concerns that Republicans will try to privatize Medicare when they go after Obamacare.
Researchers looked at both Clinton and Trump health reform proposals. Clintons campaign provided answers, while Trumps campaign referred the researchers to its website. Here are the results.
