GOP presidential candidate Ron DeSantis said his health care plan will replace ObamaCare if he is elected to the White House, promising that his full plan will be released in the spring.

NBCā€™s Kristen Welker pressed DeSantis, the Florida governor, on former President Trumpā€™s vow to repeal and replace ObamaCare ā€” a promise that he failed to keep during his time in the White House.

ā€œHereā€™s what I will do. What I think theyā€™re going to need to do is have a plan that will supersede ObamaCare, that will lower prices for people so that they can afford health care while also making sure that people will preexisting conditions are protected. And weā€™re going to look at the big institutions that are causing prices to be high: Big Pharma, big insurance, and big government,ā€ he said on ā€œMeet the Pressā€ on Sunday.

However, he offered scant details for his proposal when asked what ā€œsupersedeā€ meant. He said that his plan will have coverage that is ā€œdifferent and betterā€ at the ā€œlowest possible price.ā€

      If Desantis has taught us anything, itā€™s that he sucks at trying to manage insurance markets.

      Why? If no one is offering it, they wonā€™t need to keep paying higher and higher premiums! Plus, why should they be forced into some communism plan where they pay into a pool to help other people when they have problems? If your house gets destroyed by a hurricane, just pull yourself back up by your bootstraps (assuming they didnā€™t blow away) just like grandpappy did back in 19 dickety 2.
