How can this be the DEM fault, outside of the fact they created & passed ACA/Obamacare in the first place. GOP’ers had 7 years to create health care legislation, 50+ attempts to repeal and when they have all the cards they still can’t get it down. They had how many different healthcare plans over the years or at least they told us they did, so what did you do cut/paste/pick/choose pieces from all? Now the GOP’ers head home in April to face their constituents empty handed. Don’t be all gleeful DEMs, you’re still in the hot seat – PB/TK
Trump blames Dems for health bill collapse – By CBS NEWS March 24, 2017
President Trump said Friday that “both parties can do better” after the vote on the GOP health care bill was abruptly canceled in the House after it seemed likely it did not have enough support to pass.
“Perhaps the best thing that could happen is exactly what happened today,” Mr. Trump said in a news conference in the Oval Office.
The vote on the American Health Care Act, originally scheduled Thursday but then pushed to Friday after failing to gain conservative support, was canceled after it appeared that Republicans had failed to get enough support from within their own party for it to pass. House Speaker Paul Ryan admitted Friday that the GOP “came up short.”
Mr. Trump and Ryan already pushed to blaming Democrats, with Mr. Trump saying “we had no Democrat support” and Ryan saying that “moving from opposition party to a governing party comes with growing pains.”
“I think the losers are Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer because now they own Obamacare,” Mr. Trump said. “They own it. Hundred percent own it. And this is not a Republican healthcare, this is not anything but a Democrat healthcare and they have Obamacare for a little while longer until it ceases to exist, which it will at some point in the near future.”
Ryan said that Obamacare will “remain the law of the land” until it is replaced.
