Trump Promises to Repeal Affordable Care Act if Re-Elected in 2021

President Donald Trump has once again voiced his intention to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), commonly known as Obamacare, if he is re-elected in 2021. The ACA, which was signed into law in 2010, has helped reduce the number of Americans without health insurance to historic lows and established basic guarantees of coverage for all Americans regardless of pre-existing conditions.

Trump’s promise to repeal the ACA has been a consistent theme throughout his political career, and was a top legislative priority when he and Republican leaders in Congress attempted to repeal the law in 2017. However, a recent NBC News poll found that when it comes to health care, voters trust Democrats over Republicans by a margin of 45%-22%.

Trump’s statement came on Saturday, when he posted on his social media platform Truth Social that he was “seriously looking at alternatives” to the ACA. The same survey found that Democrats trail the GOP on many other issues, including the economy, immigration and crime.

The ACA has been a major point of contention between Republicans and Democrats since its passage in 2010. While Republicans have long sought to repeal the law, Democrats have argued that it is necessary to ensure that all Americans have access to affordable health care.

The future of the ACA remains uncertain, as the outcome of the 2021 presidential election will likely determine whether or not the law is repealed. In the meantime, millions of Americans will continue to rely on the ACA for access to health care.
