Trumpcare
Proposed insurance replacement
Trumpcare is a term for healthcare proposals associated with Donald Trump, coined in parallel to Obamacare.
It most often refers to Republican efforts during Trump's presidency to repeal or replace the Affordable Care Act: Trumpcare would gut protections for pre-existing conditions.
The term is used pejoratively by critics and rarely embraced by supporters.
