Earlier this month Trump promised a healthcare plan by the end of Aug. Where is it?

It's on the wrong side of the promised border wall perhaps.

It's on Nancy's desk waiting to be passed by Congress. It's been there for three and a half years....

That’s BS if you’re talking about this.

President Donald Trump's main healthcare policy initiative has been working to fulfill his campaign promise to repeal and replace the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), commonly known as Obamacare. He expressed his support for the House and Senate bills that proposed modifying parts of the ACA. The House passed its bill—the American Health Care Act of 2017—but members of the Senate have been unable to agree on a final replacement plan, leaving most of the provisions of the ACA in place. Republicans did take one step towards changing the ACA by eliminating the law's individual mandate, which took effect in January 2019.[1]

He hasn’t done didly squat unless you count the short term policies which are crap.

this is BS. Even if true it wouldn't prevent Trump from putting out his own healthcare plan. He is just lying to the American people. A few weeks ago he promised that he would present his plan by the end of August. where is it? His administration is more concerned with going to court trying to get the ACA declared unconstitutional then helping the American people during the P******c.

John McCain’s disdain for Donald Trump was stronger than his love of Lindsey Graham. That’s at least one sensible conclusion after the Arizona senator on September 22, 2017 came out against the Graham-Cassidy bill, the THIRD serious attempt by Republicans to replace the Affordable Care Act with a new system...The budget vehicle that Republicans planned to use to pass the bill—in order to circumvent a Senate filibuster - expired on September 30th, 2017. The Republican's long-standing plan was to use the next budget vehicle to pass tax reform.

Senator Rand Paul was already firmly against Graham-Cassidy, and Susan Collins said she was leaning toward a no v**e, leaving the G.O.P., which had fifty-two senators, with room for just one more defection if it relied on Mike Pence to break a tie. Unlike the previous time, when McCain delivered the blow to Trump with a dramatic thumbs-down on the Senate floor, this time he sent out a press release. The September 30 deadline passed, and the health care reform was floored until after the mid-terms.

Trump had tried several times to unite both parties to pass a bill where they could work together to reform health care. The Democrats would have none of it, and never allowed any attempts on the Trump administration to pass a bill through Congress. Trump was stonewalled at every attempt. What Trump finally managed to do, since Dems would not work with him on any health care bills, was to sign the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 on December 22, 2017, which eliminated the federal tax penalty for violating the individual mandate, starting in 2019.

As we all know, the Democrats won the House in the mid-terms, and Trump's plan has been floored ever since.

The basic outline that Trump wanted to present in a bill to Congress for both parties to work on included the following:

1. Completely repeal Obamacare. The plan calls for "elected representatives to eliminate the individual mandate" required by the law.

2. Modify existing law that inhibits the sale of health insurance across state lines. This would allow any health insurance vendor to sell insurance in any state.

3. Allow individuals to fully deduct health insurance premium payments from their tax returns. According to the plan, this would help prevent consumers from slipping through the cracks by making insurance affordable.

4. Allow individuals to use Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). The plan calls for tax-free contributions into HSAs, and that on a person's death, the money would become part of his or her estate.

5. Require price t***sparency from all healthcare providers. This, the plan says, would help consumers shop for the best price on medical services.

6. Block-grant Medicaid to the states. This would allow states to fully manage the program that helps the poor get medical care.

7. Remove barriers to entry into free markets for drug providers that offer safe, reliable and cheaper products. This point of the plan would allow consumers access to drugs manufactured by companies overseas.

Triple G said in part: "He [TRUMP] hasn’t done diddly-squat.

I disagree with Triple G, while many smell the flowers I smell proof that Trump has done a lot of diddly-squat, if we use the correct word definition... simple example, that which comes from Trump's mouth regarding health care [especially about C***D Cures] is worthless excrement. Hence, Trump has certainly done diddly-squat with health care among many issues; big example that he has done wonders with the C****a-2 v***s... he has reduced the load on Social Security by k*****g off the old and linking it with the clandestine hidden lab in the Democratic headquarters funded by Soros. Humm, the timing was for 2020 to discredit Trump during the e******n year !

Triple G, your word usage or observation of Trump is lacking: This phrase is this is a variation of doodly-squat from 1934. The original form (from the 1930s) is doodly-squat, now the phrase you used diddly-squat. Doodly is hypothesized to mean either worthless (from doodle) or excrement (from do one's do, which sounds implausible). Squat is used as an intensifier and is probably a euphemism (both in sound and meaning) for s**t.

Instead of an ad hominem attack, you could stay on topic and provide a counter argument by providing some evidence that trump has fulfilled his campaign promises of providing a comprehensive healthcare solution?

Trump's healthcare plan is slow in the offing and is linked to the border wall. He is negotiating with the Mexican Government to pay for both or health care and the wall. Things like finding the perfect woman and negotiating with the Mexicans takes time. Complicating the deal is that there is no t***slators allowed during the one to one meetings held by Trump's choice in a room in a Tawana Brothal.

What joke that is .

Trump had complete control of congress for two years and failed.

I think you misspelled your name.
It should be braindamage, after all.

Every time Republicans have been asked to share their plan the answer has been silence. Sheer unadulterated silence. There is NO plan. Admit it.
