Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden touted his "Bidencare" plan to create a government-run insurance option Thursday as President Donald Trump defended his push to eliminate the Affordable Care Act and craft a "beautiful" alternative.
"What I'm going to do is pass Obamacare with a public option - becomes 'Bidencare,'" Biden, who was vice president when the law was passed, said at the final presidential debate, using the word twice to describe his proposal to extend Medicaid coverage, allow Americans on private plans the option of a government-run policy and expand federal subsidies.
While Biden has fiercely defended President Barack Obama and the ACA, his promises of a "Bidencare" plan indicate a desire to build a health care legacy of his own. His campaign has estimated that the plan would cost $750 billion.
Trump sought to tie Biden to a plan endorsed by some progressives to eliminate private insurance and put all Americans in the Medicare program, an idea that Trump called "socialized medicine."
"It's not that he wants it - his vice president, I mean, she is more liberal than Bernie Sanders and wants it even more," Trump said, referring to Biden's running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif. "Bernie Sanders wants it. The Democrats want it. You're going to have socialized medicine."
Biden, however, noted that he ran against the idea in his successful primary campaign.
"He's a very confused guy. He thinks he's running against somebody else. He's running against Joe Biden," Biden said. "I beat all those other people because I disagreed with them."

How easy is it to see in 2020?
My son showed me a “Bidencare” logo on the campaign website immediately after the debate. All pre-planned, but still a horrible idea that no sane person would buy.
The Bidencare plan is to tell the doc “Come on, man!” every time you get the bill.
Trump did a much better job at letting Biden dig his own grave last night.

Bidenscare.
Bidencare sounds like a bad movie sequel.
The basic principles of Obamacare, premium subsidies, Medicaid expansion and coverage for pre-existing conditions will be found in any possible Trump replacement.
