All pretty much laid out in the video. "You're trying to get rid of the whole law."

But he has a new, secret plan, all ready to go. Why didn't someone ask him to tell them one feature of this great plan? Just one. Any one.

Yawn. You must have been ... distracted.

The Trump Health Plan features (among other amazing things:

* Everyone will have health care
* It will be the best health care
* It will cost much less
* Biden is a mean old poopyhead who failed to enact a national mask mandate.

The medical, pharmaceutical and insurance industries make money hand over fist, charging exorbitant prices to those who have little choice but to pay or forgo treatment; and they're willing to donate a lot to politicians promising not to upset the applecart.

Politics here is an industry, and politicians depend on donations to fund their elections and retain their jobs. They'll pander to anyone funding them.

The Republicans have always been the party of Big Business. Ever since the Neoliberal revolution 40 years ago they've been quietly removing the checks and balances instituted after the Great Depression, that gave the US 40 years of stability, growth and prosperity. Prosperity, they preach, is achieved by eliminating regulations, shrinking government, privatizing everything and giving 'job creators' and business free reign.
This worked out well for the 0.01%, but not so much for infrastructure or for the unwashed masses.

The Right is averse to spending on anything that doesn't return a profit, and if they're likely to loose on the deal.... fugedaboutit!
The right does not believe healthcare is any business of government.

Trump's actual "plan"?
It is to let over 2,000,000 Americans die of his virus, thereby accomplishing what he calls "herd mentality".

TRump has been claiming that he has a plan for well over a year. I guess his plan is stuck up his ass and will need to be surgically removed. Or maybe he doesn't have a plan, never had a plan and never will have a plan. I think that's the more realistic possibility.

It must have gotten lost with his tax records under a twenty year long audit.

After four years, during the worst health crisis in a century, the unkept promise may be catching up to Mr. Trump. There still does not seem to be any plan, because other than abolishing the Affordable Care Act — which requires insurers to cover pre-existing conditions and which the White House is asking the Supreme Court to overturn — the Republican Party cannot agree on one.

Yes. That's right. We've been hearing about this beautiful plan for about 4 years. It does make me wonder when more people will realize that when they voted for Trump, they were scammed.

I guess when you're a member of a cult, you aren't capable of hearing the truth.

Repeal and Replace has been the republican mantra for nearly 10 years now, with nothing to show what the 'replacement' could be. I think we can get definite numbers on the people you can fool all of the time
