I am not seeing anything described here remotely like Obamacare. It sounds like bald faced copying any of those systems to the best of our ability would be a vast improvement.

I was homeless when Obamacare passed, so I was exempt. I am no longer homeless. I worry how this will impact me and I wish Trump would actually fix it like he said he was going to do when he took office. If he fixed our completely broken health coverage system, I would be willing to largely overlook what an utter shit show of a politician the man has been.

The individual mandate was repealed in the recent tax bill.

(I'm assuming that's what you mean with exempt)

In Austria if you are self enployed there is a mandate for medical insurance and pension contributions. If you are employed there is a mandate which is shared with the employer.

What indication do you have that Trump will ever do the things he promises to do?

I see zero indication of this, but that doesn’t mean I can’t wish for it.
