Donald Trump promised in September he had “concepts of a plan” to deal with health care. Three months and a successful election later, that’s still all he has. Trump told NBC’s Kristen Welker on Meet the Press that he had “concepts of a plan that would be better” than Obamacare, though he offered few specifics on what they would look like. Instead, he tried to take credit for the law’s resilience.

“We have the biggest health care companies looking at it,” Trump said in the interview released Sunday. “We have doctors who are always looking. Because Obamacare stinks. It’s lousy. There are better answers.”

“If we come up with a better answer, I would present that answer to Democrats and to everybody else and I’d do something about it. But until we have that or until they can approve it—but we’re not going to go through the big deal. I am the one that saved Obamacare, I will say,” he continued.

Trump also spent much of his time attacking Republican lawmakers for killing his attempt to repeal the law in 2017, namechecking the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) for his role in killing his attempts to repeal the law. “When John McCain let us down by voting, and Murkowski and Collins, and whoever it was that voted against, but they really let us down,” Trump said.
