Were going to repeal obamacare, and replace it with solutions that lower the hea insurance without growing the size of government. Reporter republicans have been offering those ideas again d again literall first signed into law. But the fact is, though republicans have voted to repeal the heathcare law more than 60 times they still have not agreed on an alternative i put that question to House Speaker paul ryan. But why still no plan to replace it . We have plan to replace it, we have plenty of ideas to replace it, and youll see as the weeks and months unfold. What were talking about replacing it. Reporter even some rankandfile republicans are passing the buck. Republicans have had years to mull this over why still is there no cohesion around the best way to do this . As you know ive been here 22 years, i aint in the leadership. Not on you . Right reporter democrats are openly attacking republicans for having no clear plan. Their message today, you break it, you buy it. And obamacare will become trump care. Now they are going to own it reporter the president elect, perhaps, seeing that too today issuing a warning for his own party. Tweeting republicans must be careful in that democrats own the failed obamacare disaster.

Re you going to make sure that people with preconditions are still covered . Yes. Because it hpens to be one of the strongest assets. Youre going to keep it . Also, with the children living with their parents r an extended period. Rr still, tonight more than 20 Million People covered by obamacare are left wondering what comes next. All right. So lets get to mary bruce live on capitol hill tonight, and tonight, the president elect re need to be careful about how they repeal obamacare. It would appear he is aware that millions would ask whats the replacement, and there was talk today on executive one . Reporter while a President Trump could take executive action, trump is aware of the potential political consequences of this fight. Republicans here are saying they want to phase outobamacare over several years, giving them time to come up with a comprehensive replacement and ensuring americans feel like the rug is pulled out from under them.

They will brief president obama tomorrow, president elect trump will be briefed on friday. But it was on new eve, mr.

Abcs brian ross tonight. Reporter today was the day donald trump was supposed to make good on his new years eve promise to reveal what no one else knew about the hacking of the democratic party.

Reporter but so far this wednesday, no revelations about hacking from the president elects skyscraper office in new york. But trump was active on twitter, continuing to taunt the u. S. Intelligence community about his findings. The quote, Intelligence Briefings was delayed until friday. Perhaps more time needed to build a case. Very strange, exclamation point. But u. S. Officials tell abc news tonight, there was no delay. The briefing had always been scheduled for friday. But while insulting u. S. Intelligence, trump today is embracing fugitive wikileaks founder, Julian Assange considered to be an enemy. He said the russians had no role in providing the stolen emails to wikileaks. Our source is not the russian government, and it is not state party. Reporter six years ago on fox, trump attacked wikileaks for leaking u. S. Secrets. Its disgraceful . Death penalty or something. Reporter now he has praised Vladimir Putin and poiten to assange to listen to. There is no way he would have any idea on anything behin dropping this f. Of capable of hiding their vices tracks. Reporter before he becomes commander in chief, the democrat is warning he could face serious payback once in office. You take on the Intelligence Community and they have six ways from sunday at back at you. Even for a hardnosed business, he is being really dumb to do this. He has criticized them before, but this is unusual to hear this from an incoming president. What are you hearing from your sources inside the Intelligence Community . Do they like what they are hearing from the president elect . Not at all, and they describe an atmosphere of dismay and disgust, and they wonder why their next commander in chief seems to find new ways to humiliate them at every turn. Thank you.
