Post 1724. And I won’t be as nasty to you.
Donald Trump on Friday made clear that he would repeal all of ObamaCare, including the individual mandate to buy insurance, after saying a day earlier that he liked the mandate.
I was asked about healthcare by Anderson Cooper & have been consistent- I will repeal all of #ObamaCare, including the mandate, period.

The question arose at a CNN town hall for GOP presidential candidates on Thursday when Trump said, “I like the mandate,” while also saying he would repeal ObamaCare, which he called a “disaster.”
Earlier on Friday, Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) criticized Trump for praising the mandate.
Trump tweeted Friday that he was referring to a “backstop” for people with pre-existing conditions when saying he liked the mandate, without elaborating on what that means. Trump says that people with pre-existing conditions will be able to get coverage under his plan, which is one of the most popular aspects of ObamaCare.
