I have no idea.
I also don’t know why he has not rescinded Obama’s illegal DACA program which is still operating as if it were law and not something Obama dreamed up.
9750 more illegal aliens have been given work permits since Trump took office.
When it hits 10,000 can we call it Trump’s illegal DACA program?

Very few people outside of FreeRepublic have any interest in "free markets" in health care. Here's how a free market in health care would work:

If you have a chronic medical condition that costs $15,000 per year to treat, you pay $15,000 out of your own pocket to deal with it.

Here's how a free market in health care would never work:

If you have a chronic medical condition that costs $15,000 per year to treat, you get the government to find two healthy people with no medical expenses and force all three of you to pay $5,000 each for "insurance."

Most Americans -- and probably a disproportionate number of older voters who supported Donald Trump -- would tell you that the latter is exactly what they want.

“Why didnt Trump sell free markets as the replacement to 0bamaCare?”

The insurance companies wrote ObamaCare because they wanted a guaranteed stream of revenue.

All of the people forced onto Obama Care will need to buy insurance from somewhere when it is repealed.

Where are they going to buy? From the same insurance companies that will be thrilled to sell them all packages that will now cost a fortune.

So what do people do?

Probably because he's a long-time supporter of single-payer.
