1,500 Physicians Tell Trump: Stop Hiding Your Health Care Plan

Donald Trump is trying to con Americans into believing he doesn’t want to destroy the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), even though he repeatedly tried to do exactly that when he was in office. Now, two years into his 2024 presidential campaign and more than nine years after his 2016 presidential campaign, Trump is pretending to be thinking about how to improve Obamacare but won’t say anything about how to go about it.

As Rolling Stone put it, “After years of attempting to cripple the Affordable Care Act, Trump decided earlier this year to rebrand as its savior.” 1,500 physicians are calling his bluff:

A coalition of more than 1,500 American doctors and physicians are calling on Trump to provide an actual prescription to fix the law he’s maligned and vowed to repeal for almost a decade. In an open letter provided to Rolling Stone by the Committee to Protect Healthcare, physicians note that in April Trump “did an about-face, claiming he doesn’t want to ‘terminate the ACA’ but instead make it ‘much better.’”

“Mr. Trump has either refused or simply failed to share any concrete plans for improving the ACA, including in the most recent debate” the letter notes. “Our patients and Americans nationwide deserve to know what would be in store for their health care in a second Trump presidency so that they can make informed decisions on November 5.”
