President Donald Trump said Republican health care reform will only come after the 2020 election when, the president assumed, the GOP will retake the House of Representatives and have enough votes to pass a replacement of the Affordable Care Act, also called Obamacare.

“Everybody agrees that ObamaCare doesn’t work. Premiums & deductibles are far too high—Really bad HealthCare!” Trump said in a series of tweets on April 1. “Even the Dems want to replace it, but with Medicare for all, which would cause 180 million Americans to lose their beloved private health insurance.”
