However his plan to fix it — which would give Americans health savings accounts and the ability to buy insurance across state lines — is unlikely to lower the cost of insurance. If anything, removing the mandate that all Americans buy health insurance would raise costs, analysts say. Without a mandate, younger and healthier Americans would likely not purchase insurance, leaving an older and sicker pool of people that are more expensive to insure.
Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, has proposed offering a tax credit to Americans to lower the cost of health care premiums.
Polling has found Americans trust Clinton's proposals more than Trump's.
While a Fox News poll released earlier this month found nearly half of voters want to repeal Obamacare, voters still said Clinton would be the better candidate to fix the health care system by a stunning 13-point margin.
The Fox News poll found 54% of voters said Clinton would do a better job on health care, while 41% said Trump would be better on the issue.
An Associated Press-GfK poll from September found similar results, with 42% of voters saying they trust Clinton to handle health care, as opposed to just 29% who said the same of Trump.
