On your last 2 points. The Dems have pushed a narrative trump was coming after Medicare/SS and VA healthcare. Those points were most likely just added to make sure that narrative doesn't go any further.
For your other comments.
I would say cut prescription drug prices is what Trump wants but what the gop would never do (see him stating again he wants term limits..)
The GOP as a whole has no fricking plan whatsoever to replace Obamacare. It became a talking point and that's it. All trump harps on is the mandate he removed but the GOP never had a plan to repeal and replace it was just opposition party gospel and that's all the GoP literally does.
Trump doesn't have anything to add realistically because he knows anything is DOA with Dems and GOP. He's definitely not trying to make this election about healthcare because the GOP would lose.
That's why I full expect us to get Medicare for All in the next 10 yrs. I literally believe it because the GOP has no answer and they don't want to have an answer.

This is helpful. Makes sense.

I'm not so sure. Americans really struggle with loss aversion and its too easy for either side to make hay about losses in healthcare financing. Even assuming Medicare for All worked perfectly, the transition costs associated with such a move would be TREMENDOUS. Hard to imagine it ever happening because the party who did it would spend a decade in the wilderness for doing it.
