Trump reiterated that the Republican party will now be the “party of great healthcare,” CBS News reports. Said Trump: “I mean it 100 percent, I understand healthcare now, especially very well. A lot of people don’t understand it, we are going to be, the Republicans, the party of great healthcare. The Democrats have, they’ve let you down, they came up with Obamacare, it’s terrible.” However, Republican leaders have privately told Trump to back off efforts to have the law overturned in the courts.
“Reflecting widespread concerns within his party, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has told President Trump he disagrees with the Trump administration’s attempt to get the entire Affordable Care Act thrown out in court,” Axios reports. “McCarthy told Trump over the phone that the decision made no sense — especially after Democrats killed Republicans in the midterms in part over the issue of pre-existing conditions.” “McCarthy is far from alone in this view. Republican lawmakers and officials are exasperated about the Justice Department’s position and about Trump’s substance-free declaration that Republicans will become ‘The Party of Healthcare.'”
White House counselor Kellyanne Conway maintained on Fox News that Republicans are “working on a plan” for replacing the Affordable Care Act, days after President Trump surprised members on both sides of the aisle when he declared that the Republican Party “will soon be known as the party of health care,” the Washington Post reports. Said Conway: “There is a plan. We’ve been working on a plan for a long time. And we hope that Congress would come along.” Host Chris Wallace responded: “Right, nine years, but you’ve never actually come up with a whole plan.” USA Today: “White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said that he could guarantee that Americans would not lose their health care insurance coverage if the Affordable Care Act ends up being struck down in its most recent court challenge.”
Ya . . . . . . the plan will have far lower costs , in other words (if you still don't understand) it will be far less expensive. Paul Ryan must be laughing his ass off.

^^^^^^ I never have defended Trump on Healthcare. In fact I believe his direction and lack of appropriate action is completely wrong.
