(It’s) very complicated — Obamacare is a disaster. You have to remember, Obamacare doesn’t work so we are putting in a wonderful plan. It statutorily takes a while to get. We’re going to be putting it in fairly soon, I think that — yes, I would like to say by the end of the year at least the rudiments but we should have something within the year and the following year.
Even after Congress passes a replacement plan and Trump signs it, Obamacare will likely still remain in effect for awhile. It will take time for insurers and agencies to shift to the new plan.
Trump was also asked if taxes will be slashed this year. He said:
I think so, yes. And I think that before the end of the year I would like to say yes.
