Trump, Pence Pledge To Repeal And Replace Obamacare

KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. (CBS) -- Donald Trump says if elected next week, a priority after inauguration will be calling for a special session of Congress to repeal Obamacare.

The Republican presidential nominee brought his running mate to a private, friendly audience in King of Prussia.

At the joint appearance, Donald Trump, Governor Mike Pence, Republican leaders, and some members of Congress say they took the temperature of Obamacare and want to pull the plug.

Trump says if elected he would get the Affordable Care Act repealed and replace it with a common sense plan that lowers cost and increases options.

"The President said if you like your plan you can keep your plan. If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. Which may go down as one of the great political lies of the century."

Governor Pence told the audience we can't trust Hillary Clinton with healthcare any more than we can trust her with classified information.
