I'm curious to hear what Trump has to say about the Affordable Care Act (ACA/Obamacare) today. No details have been put forth in regards to a replacement plan; Trump just says it's gonna be great.
But, there appears to be a lot of tension among Republican lawmakers about whether to simply modify Obama's ACA and brand it as Trump Care, or to instead fully repeal and attempt to replace it. I think the protesters at Town Halls are likely making it even harder for many of those politicians to get behind a full repeal and replace.
I was glad to read that President Trump is apparently standing by his commitment not to cut social security or medicare/medicaid. Paul Ryan is a champion of cutting entitlements, but he hasn't challenged Trump about it publicly. I hope Trump wins this one over the establishment Republicans.
