Trump says he's "seriously looking" at Obamacare alternatives

Flashback: Despite having full control of the White House and Congress, Republicans' long-running efforts to repeal and replace the ACA were defeated in 2017 when Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) delivered his famous thumbs-down vote on the Senate floor.

• Democrats went on to make health care a defining issue of the 2018 midterms, powering a "blue wave" election in which the party decisively won back the House majority.
• Republicans — including the current presidential field — have since had little to say about the Affordable Care Act or major health care reforms, even as the cost of care continues to rise.

What they're saying: "The cost of Obamacare is out of control, plus, it's not good Healthcare," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social Saturday.

• "We had a couple of Republican Senators who campaigned for 6 years against it, and then raised their hands not to terminate it. It was a low point for the Republican Party, but we should never give up!"
• Biden campaign spokesman Ammar Moussa drew attention to Trump's comments on X, suggesting Democrats would be happy to make relitigating the ACA an issue in the 2024 election.
