Yes candidate Trump has always supported “government care” or socialized medicine. In fact, I have pointed that out many times on this forum and was even suspended for posting videos of candidate Trump in his own words.

However, that is not what the majority of Republicans have been voting for and supporting during Obama’s presidency. Many of the candidates for House and Senate ran on repeal. In fact, a repeal bill passed both the House and the Senate and was later vetoed by Obama (no surprise there).

I believe that President Trump should be afforded the same opportunity to sign the same bill. Move the copy of the 2015 Obamacare repeal bill out of committee and to the floor for a vote in the House.

Lets see who supports a repeal when there is no backstop of a presidential veto. Lets see if President Trump is truly behind a repeal.

Otherwise, the GOP is just a bunch of hypocrites.

Why would you think that could possibly pass the House and have support of the Senate? A full repeal would probably be signed by Trump, but will never be voted on and sent to him. It isn't reality. There are way more moderates who will not sign on to that then there are conservatives who want a full repeal.

While Obama was President, the conservatives could pass their do nothing repeal and get everyone on board, but that would never happen now that Trump is President and Reps would have to defend the outcome in their districts. It just isn't going to happen.

What is going to happen? We are going to have a "law and order" President not enforcing the law, i.e. Obamacare? Regardless, we get Obamacare and whatever "bailout" is down the road, which isn't going to be anything like repeal and replace, it will be much worse.

I believe you'd find that an actual majority are hypocrites.
