President Donald Trump encouraged Republican members of Congress to push ahead with repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act even though he conceded they were putting themselves “at risk.”
“We’re taking them out of a big jam. Big jam. We’re putting ourselves at risk, to a certain extent because we’re taking it off their platter,” Trump said,
Trump went on to say that Republicans, however, had “no choice.”
“I think we have no choice. We have to get it going. I’m serious,” Trump said.
During his address to Republicans at the retreat in Philly, Trump seemed to urge members to move more rapidly on health care. Republicans are already going to miss a self-imposed Friday deadline.
“If we waited two years its going to explode like you’ve never seen an explosion. Nobody’s going to be able to afford it, it’s a disaster. And that’s politically what we should do but we don’t want to do that. We want to get something done and get it done right. And by the way Tom Price is gonna do a phenomenal job,” Trump said.
Maybe he should just turn the White House grounds into a used car lot so he can sell them in his free time.
Disaster:
This is despite high deductible/premiums and non participation by most of southern states (GOP).
A bag of meat could do a better job.
What the hell kind of confusing title is that? “More Americans have health insurance than ever before” seems a little less awkward?
I thought so too.
