That’s not what the Affordable Care Act is. Trump seems to think that the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) is a type of insurance plan that people buy.
There is no such thing as Obamacare insurance. The Affordable Care Act is a law that reformed the US health insurance system. The insurance plans are provided in a competitive marketplace by private insurance companies.
The Republican nominee for president appears to know none of this. Trump has admitted that he gets all of his news from conservative and conspiracy news sites on the Internet, so it isn’t a shock that he has no idea what Obamacare is, or what the Affordable Care Act actually does.
Trump didn’t have a choice on participating in Obamacare because the ACA is a law, not a program or a product.
The Republican Party has nominated an embarrassment to be the next President Of The United States who doesn’t understand the basic laws of the country.
It is obvious now why Trump doesn’t have any policies. In order to have policies, a candidate must first understand the nation’s problems and the current laws.
Donald Trump is blissfully ignorant on all fronts.
Every time he opens his mouth, Trump reminds voters of why he should never be president.
