Current Events > How Trump will protect those with pre-existing medical conditions

(+) Yeah! (+)

MacCallum then asked: "Because the issue of pre-existing conditions, you say you're going to protect them. But your administration is also fighting Obamacare in the courts. So how do you promise you're going to protect them based on that?"
Here's what the president said, per a White House transcript.

TRUMP: "That's what I said. We want to terminate Obamacare because it's bad. Look, we're running it really well, but we know it's defective. It's very defective. We got rid of the worst part. And that was a very important thing. You know getting rid of the individual mandate was a very important thing.
But we want to get something if we can get the House, you'll have the best healthcare and health insurance anywhere on the planet. But we have to get the House back.
Now, that means we have to hold the Senate. We have to get the House. We have to, obviously, keep the White House. But, what we're doing is managing it really well.
Now, it's a case; it's called Texas vs. you understand it's Texas who is suing. They want to terminate it. But everybody there is also saying, and everybody we have our great senator from Pennsylvania. Thank you very much, Pat, for being here. (Applause.) And Pat Toomey.
And but, very important and our by the way, our great congressmen, I have to say, they were warriors. Right? Real warriors, in terms of the fake impeachment. I will tell you that. (Applause.)
But, so Texas is trying and it's Texas and many states they're trying to terminate, but they want to put something that's much better. They're terminating it to put much better. And they've all pledged that preexisting conditions, 100 percent taken care of.

The individual mandate really was a total scam. Taxing people for being alive is not how you solve health care. However, insurance companies should cover those with pre existing conditions. They're the ones who need the insurance in order to get affordable treatment and medicine while still participating in the work force.

Republicans did have the House, and Senate, and the Presidency all under Trump for a time. They got absolute bullshit done in that time. #Do-nothingRepublicans

More importantly it didnt do anything to solve the hyper inflated costs of healthcare in this country, all it did was reward the predatory companies with guaranteed money.
