Donald Trump unveiled a health-care plan that calls for allowing imports of low-cost prescription drugs from overseas and includes other elements that have been popular among conservatives for years.

The seven-point plan posted on the Republican presidential front-runner's website Wednesday includes a repeal of Obamacare and six ideas for a replacement: allowing insurers to sell plans across state lines; permitting tax deductions for individual health-care plans; tax-free health savings accounts that can become part of an estate; "price transparency" from health-care providers; and sending Medicaid funds as grants to states.
