" President-elect Donald Trump told the Washington Post his plan to replace the Affordable Healthcare Act is nearly complete and his goal is “insurance for everybody,”
In a phone interview late Saturday, Trump told the Post he’ll force drug companies to negotiate directly with the government for Medicare and Medicaid pricing.
“They’re politically protected but not anymore,” he said.
Republicans have promised to repeal Obamacare and replace it, though the pace in Congress may not match what the president-elect wants to see.
Trump told the Post he expects Congress to move quickly and cohesively in the next few weeks on healthcare and other priorities, including tax cuts and a border wall with Mexico.
But Trump said he’ll push Congress to act fast on the repeal.“The Congress can’t get cold feet because the people will not let that happen,” Trump said. "
