I don't think we have to over analyze it. He tried to repeal it in his last term, and his opinion hasn't changed even though he failed the first time.

No, he doesn't have a plan for an alternative and he never did.

Because it's something from the other side that people like

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Thursday’s report on consumer spending showed the Federal Reserve’s preferred measure of underlying inflation getting close to its 2 percent target.)

Nonetheless, over the past few days, Trump has declared that if he returns to the White House, he’ll once again seek to do away with the Affordable Care Act, the reform that has produced a significant decline in the number of Americans without health insurance.

The main point in Obamacare’s favor is simply the fact that the number of uninsured Americans fell sharply after the law went into effect.

We’re still well short of the more or less universal coverage provided by every other advanced country, and the health insurance some Americans have remains inadequate, but the gap has narrowed a lot.

Before Obamacare, Americans with preexisting medical conditions who weren’t lucky enough to get coverage through their employers were in dire straits: Insurers either wouldn’t cover them at all or would charge exorbitant premiums.

is tricky, in part because the law, while offering extensive subsidies, also included many measures aimed at reducing health costs.

Let Trump say whatever he wants about that. It's a losing issue.

Republicans have very successfully poisoned the discussion on this topic. Maybe it will help if I start by saying I don't think private healthcare should exist in any way, shape, or form; I think all healthcare should be public including vision and dental.

Yes, Obamacare is pretty bad. Just like Romneycare in which the ACA is modeled after, it fucks over every single person in poverty. Studies also show that it caused premiums and OOP costs to rise significantly for people that already had coverage when it passed. The fallout of the ACA passing did also have a lot of short term problems, most of them caused by republicans that supported the bill right up until Obama signed it.

Edit: updated to make it clear when and who was affected by rising costs.

anything would be better healthcare. other than the 1 piece of legislation forcing insurance companies to insure sick people, 'obamacare' is a love letter to insurance companies.

fucking insurance is not fucking healthcare
