I have never even intimated that Trump has failed to say that he will "repeal and replace" Obama care but that is not the only utterance he has made about healthcare and who should pay for it. He has explicitly stated that everyone should have healthcare.

Hence any honest observer is entitled to say the Trump favors replacing Obama care with an even broader government undertaking.

“... He has explicitly stated that everyone should have healthcare ...”
-
Everyone already DOES have healthcare.
The question is ... who should pay for it.

Mr. Trump has stated that he does not want to let people die in the streets.

thanks for clarifying.
I was hoping you were saying something more like that.

But just because You or I might say every American should be as rich as they can handle... does NOT mean that every American WILL be that rich or that either of us will be committed to wealth transfers at gunpoint to make it happen... via the aegis of the us government.

I think every American SHOULD have healthcare. Especially the people who prepare my lunch, go to school with my grandchildren and sit next to me on the park bench.

But we cannot afford it for millions and millions of illegals, foreigners and ne’er do wells who are sitting around on their arses refusing to work, and abuse drugs, while they engage in deadly life threatening sexual behaviors, but then refuse get out of the cart and push like the rest of us.

Regardless of what they SHOULD do, that does not mean that they will do it, or that everyone will chose to or can choose to afford it.

Insurance companies should not be writing government policy that regulates their industry. Government should not be writing policy to enable campaign contributions from the health care industry. Congressional members who have received graft, bribes and honorarium bequests from them should have no part in writing, negotiating or voting on legislation that they have been influenced by.

RIGHT NOW, and before obamacare that WAS the case. It still is.
Remove the graft and cronyism and the health insurance, health care ‘crisis’ will resolve just fine.

maybe if we Americans were not paying for every damned thing on the earth where there are others who SHOULD be paying... we would have the wherewithal to repair our military, take care of our veterans, relieve the health care sector of unneeded government regulation, repair our hospital networks and have plenty of options for healthcare for our citizens.

However, I doubt Mexico will agree to pay for it.

Here is the outline of Trump’s approach
Free market and individual control over choices play a significant role, assisted by changes in govt regulation and in tax policy

This was published early on in the campaign. Assuredly Trump wil have a dedicated team of experts and advisors ready to work on more detailed proposals with Congress which is the action branch to make changes
