    Trump on his healthcare plan: “Obamacare was lousy healthcare and always was and if we come up with something, and we are, we will replace it. I inherited Obamacare because Democrats wouldn’t vote to change it. If they did, we’d have a better plan than Obamacare. I had a choice as president whether or not to let it rot and I decided to tell my top people- I had very good people- some bad ones. They don’t get rid of their bad ones. I had a choice to make: do I save it and make it as good as it can be or let it rot? And I saved it and it was the right thing and it will never be great and it is too expensive. We are looking into other plans. If we can come up with a better plan, we would replace Obamacare.”

    Moderator: “Do you have a plan?”

    Trump: “I have concepts of a plan. I’m not president right now. If it’s cheaper, I’ll do it. We have options. You’ll be hearing about it soon.”
