As president, Trump fought to repeal and undo the Affordable Care Act using executive action, legislation and lawsuits.

Trump was not successful as president in undoing the ACA , but it was not for lack of trying, a health policy expert says.

Trump and his running mate JD Vance are misrepresenting the facts.

“I have concepts of a plan,” Trump said at last week's debate, adding that there are “concepts and options” for a better and cheaper system.

Asked when Trump will roll out his plan, campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt did not provide a timeline.

Vice President Kamala Harris is running on a platform of preserving the Affordable Care Act .
