Dr. Mehmet Oz, the administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, suggested Wednesday that President Donald Trump has a plan to replace the Affordable Care Act — but provided no specifics about the proposal.

“I fully believe the president has a plan,” Oz told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker. “We’ve been talking about it quite a bit. There’s all kinds of ideas.” “The issue, Kristen, is which specific parts of the plan do you prioritize, which are the ones you want to focus on,” he added.

When pressed for specifics about Trump’s plan, Oz said, “The plans that were originally offered during the One Big Beautiful Bill fell out, which is fine.”

Trump has repeatedly vowed to repeal and replace the ACA, also known as Obamacare, both during his first term and again on the 2024 campaign trail — but his current administration has yet to provide details about what his new plan would like like or how it would affect people who rely on the law for coverage. More than 24 million people got coverage through the ACA in 2025, according to government data.

1. OH CRAP!

I don't think I've ever heard Oz say anything re:Obamacare OR specifics or ANYTHING, or his so-called 'boss.'

[MIButterfly]

2. DJT's had a plan to replace Obamacare for "something better, cheaper and will cover more people"

for the past 10 years and he'll let us know what it is in two weeks. Blah, blah, blah.

Dr. Oz is an idiot, just like the rest of them.

[BumRushDaShow]

3. The brainless GOP loons

have been yelling "repeal and replace" since the ACA passed in 2010.

[MIButterfly]

6. Except that they don't really want to replace; they just want to repeal.

God forbid the "hoi polloi" have affordable health care.

[C Moon]

4. And if we ever get out of this hell hole...

Americans will vote this crap back in four years later.
I've lost hope for the United States.
And fuck SCOTUS. They are the heart of the death of the U.S.
I hope every single one of those right wing justices realize the horror they've put on the country and the world. Dumb shits.

[Tanuki]

5. "All kinds of ideas" does not amount to a "plan."

What a deceitful clown he is.

[QueerDuck]

7. "In two weeks."

[jls4561]

28. It will happen right after infrastructure week.

[IcyPeas]

8. Instead of "Obamacare" we shall call it "EpsteinCare"

[PJMcK]

9. It'll offer free gynecological and breast exams

17. "I've got more shit to demolish" - DJT

"Try and stop me. Remember--I've got that Insurrection Act button if you try"

13. Trump has promised this before his 2016 Election

Trump said before the 2016 election that he had the greatest health care plan in the world and would disclose it after he gets elected. He also said this many other times and when asked - -he said "in two weeks" he would bring it out. I guess that us dummies are still waiting for this (or maybe he does not have a health care plan)

[SergeStorms]

23. Like Nixon's "secret" plan....

to end the Vietnam War, but only if he was elected. Never buy a pig-in-a-poke from a republican. NEVER!

[Hotler]

14. Shut up quack. The orange convict promised a great plan in 2-weeks 10-yrs. ago. nt

[IronLionZion]

15. The plan is "die quickly"

It saves tons of money. GOP is super efficient like that. Think of the tax cuts.

[Bayard]

20. The plan will be called, "Put You Out Of Your Misery."

Seniors, disabled, and the mentally challenged to be first in line. Following Hitler's steps again.

[IronLionZion]

21. Project 2025 has already removed many employment protections and benefits for those groups

Anyone they don't like is "too DEI" to deserve health care.

[turbinetree]

16. Hey OZ baby, it was like him telling the masses that he wasn't going to touch the east wing of the White House..........

well we got pictures , what's up in your next bag of bullshit.........ivermectin can be used for cancer..........oh yeah that being touted now.....................pound sand...................literally go pound sand.............

[lark]

18. Oz is a fucking liar for profits, not one ounce of reality or sanity in his body.

krasnov has no plan other than to bankrupt Americans with unaffordable debt from insurance that covers nothing. Kill and hurt regular Americans is part of any plan he has.

[republianmushroom]

19. That's the plan and has been, "no specifics",

but trust the republicans to get it done.

[PortTack]

22. Yup..he has a plan...it's called death, suffering and let the insurance companies become wealthier!

Sick fucker!

[Safe as Milk]

24. It's big, it's strong, it's beautiful, and it will be unveiled in TWO WEEKS. n/t

[Godot51]

25. The plan:

If you have no money, get sick, suffer, and die.

But work hard while doing this.

[kerouac2]

26. Yeah, and it will cost 1500% less

He knows his math, we can trust him.

[patphil]

27. It's the same plan the republicans always say they're going to implement.

It's called We Don't Care.

29. Trump is untrustworthy

Trump is either incompetent
Or
He does not understand the complexities of cancer care.


I was diagnosed with follicular lymphoma in 1990.
It returned in 2002 and 2019 as diffuse large B cell lymphoma.

When it returned in 2019, three things had to happen for me to reach remission.

1) The vote to repeal ACA failed.
I used provisions of ACA, such as no more lifetime limits.
In 2019, I went through 4 unsuccessful treatments over 2 years and all failed.

2) In 2021, I started a successful fifth treatment which was a new drug approved by FDA in 2020.
Cancer research helps me.
Trump has cancelled cancer research.
Problem with my lymphoma is that when it returns you can not use prior therapies; they do not work.

3) My health insurer tried to deny coverage for the drug but it was successfully appealed.

Trump and the people he has appointed in healthcare positions are untrustworthy.

At the present, they STILL have nothing.
