I don't think he's going to get any of that. Few industries are as set up to discourage competition and the health care industry is and Trump's proposals won't change it. Nor will it necessarily take care of those who can't afford it. It sounds good but it really isn't going to fix much of anything.

Which laves us where?

Obama Care needs to go and something needs to fill the void - they had already imposed so many regulations and so much control over the industry to take away competitiveness that set the stage for Obama Care to get shoved down our throats.

We all want Obama Care gone, but enough damage has been done by it that there is no easy back to the drawing board solution - have you heard anyone with another plan that seems to make more sense? If so, please point me in the right direction.

This issue also describes the uphill battle anyone on our side will have to fight on almost all of the issues we care about - there will be resistance from both parties because they have become so corrupt they like things to be screwed up.

Why do we need to fill the void? If Obamacare goes away then so do the regulations and the controls it imposed. And once it is repealed then no alternate solution should be imposed.

If the goal is for everyone to have healthcare then that isn't going to be done without a one-payer solution, and in the long run that would be disastrous. Any toe-dipping into a government solution, any program designed to kind of/sort of cover everyone is only going to make the situation worse. Ted Cruz has the right idea - repeal, period. Any other solution is no solution at all.
