Does Trump have a health care plan? Does it matter?

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump's evolving ideas on health care do not amount to a full plan, and some proposals could mean new political and policy dilemmas for the Republican presidential front-runner and his party.

The Trump campaign late Wednesday released a seven-point outline for replacing President Barack Obama's health care law and said it was based on "free-market principles."

Antos is part of a group of conservative policy experts who recently produced a blueprint for replacing Obama's health overhaul.

In the past, Trump indicated that he was open to looking at a government-run health care system like Canada's — what Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is proposing in the Democratic presidential primary.

Ryan has advocated overhauling both programs, channeling future retirees into a privatized Medicare and limiting federal costs for Medicaid.

If Trump wins the nomination, "we are going to be in a position where our nominee would not agree with the Republican House and Senate caucuses," said GOP pollster Bill McInturff, who follows health care closely.

[...] the consensus among experts is that the nation's overextended benefit programs could damage the economy in the long run, and that it's easier to fix problems now than in a full-blown crisis.
