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."

Biden or Trump will only get to sign into law a bill passed by Congress.
Leftists in Congress get to say what would go in the sleigh of a President Biden.
LOL! Post/screen name & tagline.

The PPACA law has a provision that allowed you to keep your plan, if you asked in time.
Few people knew to ask in time. Obama did not lie, he prevaricated.
It was not clear if you could keep the plan’s far cheaper premium.
GREAT reminder, Serb...and how ‘bout Zeke’s stab the table with a knife bro, Rham...Berrie O Bozo’s buddy.
You could always keep your doctor, if he was willing, by paying him with your own money.
Cadillac plans were officially to be taxed, not killed off.
Since these were mainly for Democratic local government employees, the Cadillac tax itself got killed off.
Millions of Democrats love to get all-they-need medical care for free, $20/month or 2% of your premiums.
Even better though is that he threw Obama under the bus several times. When confronted by Trump that he and Obama built the cages that kids were thrown into (illegal aliens), Biden pointed out that he was VP then and couldn’t control it, but now he will be President and can. Talking about spitting in Obama’s face...Will Obama retaliate (or Clinton)?
So how much do I have to pay to Hunter to get an appointment for my heart attack? And will the "Big Guy" get half of that?
It is not Joe’s style to wait in a clinic filled with the screaming children of unwed mothers.
The cage was in a made up propaganda shot by leftists.
Obama provided for perfectly proper detention facilities, which could be left by boarding the next available flight home.
Biden is mainly claiming to be willing to fix an Obamacare design flaw that made it far more expensive for states like Florida and Texas without state personal income tax to buy into Medicaid expansion.
Funny how Democratic programs favor Democratic voter blocks.
One thing I wish Trump would have brought up, the VA and how he has vastly improved it.
Allowing veterans to seek private care instead of waiting and waiting.
And roll that right into what Socialized Medicine would be like, the old VA.
Yes, I expect that he will.... Remember that it was Maobama who said "Joe, you don't need to do this." and if you look at the footage of Maobama's speech the other day (Philadelphia as I recall?), he had the look on his face of "I suppose I need to be doing this but this is the last place that I want to be...."
“YOU WILL BUY BIDENCARE....or I will call CORN POP and his boys on you...”
Yeah, Obama is helping Joe get elected so that Obamacare is now Bidencare. Hilarious. Obama is helping a guy who is chipping away at his legacy. Maybe Joe will have Obama get coffee for everyone because he is so clean, after all.
OY VEY
What I wonder is how Biden was able to avoid looking demented in these 2 debates. Did he have an earpiece that allowed his handlers to feed him the answers? Or what?
His only big gaffe last night was calling the “Proud Boys” the “Poor Boys”!!
Trump did well here saying 180,000 suburban women and others would lose their health plans they like.
