During a speech yesterday, Trump renewed his ignorance about how healthcare plans work and revived one of his bigger lies, claiming he was ready to pass his own healthcare plan, which is ridiculous since he's been saying that since 2017.

In his first term, the late Sen. John McCain stopped him from eliminating Obamacare by voting down a repeal of Obamacare and replacing it with a weak sauce plan that would have hurt millions of Americans.

TRUMP: And we will pass a truly great healthcare plan that will stop all payments to big insurance companies, which own the — by the way, the big insurance company, they — all those big monster — they're monsters.

They take in billions and billions of dollars from our country.

They own the Democrats.

That's why the Democrats fight for Obamacare, because that's what it's all about.

And we'll give the money directly to you, the people, so you can buy your own much better healthcare at a much lower price and have a lot of money left over.

And we will end no-cash payments.

Will it be released in two weeks?

There is no plan.

Is Trump starting to believe his own lies?

Did Natalie Harp tell him she'd have a plan very soon?

Can you help us out?
