resident Obama said Sunday that he’s OK with Republicans making changes to his Affordable Care Act and even changing its name from “ObamaCare” to “TrumpCare.”
“I’m fine with that,” the president told ABC’s “This Week.”
Obama suggested that ObamaCare will survive Republicans’ efforts to repeal and replace his signature health care law. And he said that he would be the “first one” to laud Republicans if they can “come up with a system that insures more people cheaper, better.”
The president, who turns over the White House in 12 days to President-elect Donald Trump, also suggested that he has wanted to make the kind of changes to ObamaCare that Trump and fellow Republicans in control of Congress are seeking.

He’s not delusional.
If the Trump Admin “make changes” to Obamacare and it works, it’s still Obama’s program. If the changes don’t work, the Trump ruined Obama’s wonderful program.
If Obamacare is repealed, then he cannot ever take any credit for any health care programs that the Trump Admin implements.
Anything other than complete repeaal will leave the Democrats room to take credit for anything good that comes out of fixing this mess.
Once a Republican touches it, even to make the tiniest changes (like getting the student loan program out of ACA) it will be a Republican failure. That’s all we’ll hear about.
No Child Left Behind was Ted Kennedy- but Bush endorsed it so it was Bush’s fault.
Nixon ran on ending the Kennedy-Johnson war. Once elected it became his war.
So naturally Obama and the progs will be happy to have Trump make reforms.
This “repeal and replace” nonsense needs to stop.
Government run healthcare by any other name is bad.
Let’s get rid of Obamacare first and immediately and go back to the private system we had. Then later, gradually it can be modified and reformed.
Obama care Hillary care it’s all the same democrat care they have been pushing it from the 70’s.
Howabout Free Market Care, you stinking socialist.
Must expect Trumpcare to be as big a flop.
The only salient line of the story.
I’ll bet he does!!!! It’s BREAKING people!!! It’s a HORRIBLE bill!!!
Call it the “Free Market Plan” buy your OWN $hit
How about “Choose Your Own Care”?
This frees Obama from his catastrophe. Gets him dissociated with it.
It is an admission by Obama - OBAMACARE IS A FAILURE!!
OBAMA WANTS HIS FAILURE REPLACED - QUICKLY!!
Obamacare
Health Care
There, Trump fixed it.
No effing way.......
it does not work and its killing millions of American jobs
let;s not change it to TrumpCare, let’s instead
change it to DumpCare
How about Taxpayercare, since that’s who has to pay for all the freeloaders signing up.
It’s your “signature” legislation. It is ALL yours and the Democrats. ALL OF IT.
Repubs would be idiots to modify it - “you broke it” will be the Democrat claim. No more games, RINOs.
No doubt. What did it used to be called? Healthcare! Let the free markets reign.
