Angus King: Trump Should Not Be Starting with ObamaCare Repeal

‘I don’t care what you call it but let’s provide health insurance to people but don’t start with repeal’

EXCERPT:

KING: "Well, I think one of the problems is on the Affordable Care Act, they've got the -- literally, the cart before the horse. Repeal before replace. It's like you have a big apartment building and you say to everyone we're going to move you out, but the first thing we're going to do is tear the building down. Then we'll tell you about where it's going to go and how big it's going to be and what the rooms are going to look like. That doesn't make sense to me. Let's see what the replacement looks like. And I've been saying and all -- many of us have been saying for years there are plenty of flaws in the Affordable Care Act that can be fixed. Let's fix them. Call it TrumpCare. I don't care what you call it but let's provide health insurance to people, but don't start with repeal."
