Exciting! You'll want to set your clocks backwards for this one. Perhaps there's some sort of marketing tie-in with Christopher Nolan's Tenet.
But Trump's yesterday-plan is all the more important since Trump is still in court trying to bring back pre-existing conditions, with no apparent idea what happens next.
Trump's health care reform plan is coming last month
Maybe he'll dust off his last garbage plan to take health care away from people.
Meanwhile, Biden's had a plan for quite some time to build on the Affordable Care Act to make coverage more affordable and more widely available.

Trump's health care reform plan is coming last month
Speaking at a White House briefing on Aug. 3, President Trump concluded by again promising a health care plan was on its way “before the end of the month.”
The month ended on Monday.
That announcement came two weeks after Trump told Fox News’ Chris Wallace in an interview that he’d be “signing a health care plan within two weeks, a full and complete health care plan.”
“We have a plan that I think is going to be fantastic. It’s going to be released fairly soon,” Trump said after a February 2017 meeting with health insurers. “I think it’s going to be something special. … I think you’re going to like what you hear.”
Americans did not like what they heard. A May 2017 Quinnipiac poll found support for the American Health Care Act (AHCA), the Republicans’ proposed Obamacare replacement, at just 21 percent. A July 2017 study by an MIT professor found that the AHCA was the least popular legislation in three decades.
