That largely depends upon whom YOU elect to congress.
He can issue an executive order, a la Obama, the first day in office suspending Obamacare. Since Congress has failed to act to repeal the law, that gives the president the unilateral authority to do so.
Hopefully the first thing Trump will do is eliminate the penalties and Cadillac tax. Those serve no purpose and it should be easy to get that through congress. This will allow people to opt out more easily.
The next steps will be harder and will require a lot of deal making.
It shouldn’t be long. If he starts to enforce laws already on the books, he can cause a lot of trouble that will have congress’ owners begging to have the problem solved. From that position of strength, he can make a deal to pass real reform that would repeal Obamacare and fix the systemic issues with the health care system that have existed for decades. That would happen no matter which party ‘controls’ congress.
Obama care is almost dead now. Its unsustainable.
Is it too soon to predict a Republican Congress would fight him to keep it?
I think it’s way past time to have a tax revolt. Whoever says that taxes haven’t gone up isn’t looking at the fine print and the new ways they’ve come up with soaking the middle class or taking from them not to mention the sky high groceries that are out there now. Naming them all could take awhile. We’re having to paying Obamacare penalties this year because the alternative is buying incredibly high deductible plans that aren’t really any more than catastrophic coverage because you want have anything overs until you amass quite a few doctor bills.
How long has it taken the GOP congress you keep voting for and
sending back to DC to repeal it?
He’s not planning to repeal it, so I am going with ‘never’
how fast can Trump reverse ObamaCare?..
how about faster than Cruz could do it?
He could, however, take the Supreme Court at its word and dismiss ObamaCare as being a violation of the constitutional "right to privacy of medical records" that the USSC 'found' in Roe v. Wade... which, I think, would be a brilliant way to deal with ObamaCare: it'd force those in power to decide between legalized infanticide and their precious first-step towards socialized medicine.
Obamacare is dead! Long live Obamacare!

Here is a newsflash for you - The President can’t repeal legislation. Congress does that.

He’s been saying all along that he will fix it nothing about repealing it.
He’s going to wave his Magic Don Wand and it will happen. Just like Apple making iPhones in America, like the wall being built and paid for by Mexico and how we’ll win so much we’ll get tired of winning. You know, fantasy.
Never. It ain’t going away.
