Trump is reaching out to GOP lawmakers to take the lead on a health plan to replace the Affordable Care Act, working to hand off the politically sensitive effort

WASHINGTON—President Trump continued to reach out to Republican lawmakers Thursday to take the lead on crafting a health plan to replace the Affordable Care Act, working to hand off the politically sensitive effort ahead of the 2020 elections.

Senate Republicans, meanwhile, want the administration to take the lead on developing a plan while they remain on politically safer ground, working on popular voter issues such as lowering drug prices and ending surprise medical bills.

The GOP will not come up with a plan that covers all of those now covered by the ACA, covers pre-exisitng conditions, and children up to age 26, a sine qua non for what the American people want. That would be the ACA. Good luck fellas.

And here I was believing him that he has a plan for HC, a beautiful and much better one than tha ACA ... when in fact, he is just passing the buck, not having a clue.

Everything that starts with an O needs to go

Basic medical science only healthcare - people who want to use healthcare for lawsuit abuse can elect to pay more.

Why not make a catastrophic health insurance program, basic coverage. People who want suicidal breast implants, video game therapy or live in a $1000 a day chemical dependency for winter months can elect to pay more for health insurance.

They. Have. No. Plan. They haven’t come up with anything in the ten years they’ve been decrying the ACA. The GOP has zero ability to legislate on anything that matters to the majority of Americans.

This tells you this WH has no short term or long term plan. After you were gifted a dubious temporary victory by Barr, you stir up the health care hornets nest. What a tone deaf amateur move🤣

Hahahahahahahahahahaha what lying traitorous bastards you all are.

The Democrats need to pass a realistic improved version of ACA through the House ASAP, that restores the mandate but reduces deductibles, to render challenge moot and improve coverage.

In other words he has no plan, what a hack artofthedealmyass

Hot Potato! Right outta the Trump oven. Nobody wants that mess GOP. He breaks it, he eats it.

Asking for help is what leaders do.

So what exactly is the GOPe plan? IGNORE HEALTHCARE It's THEIR JOB, not even HIS.

It’s time for congress get off their over paid butts and get to work. Overpaid and under worked. Two weeks off for Easter ? It’s the most sacred holiday in Christianity ! Most of u condemn Christians but you ready for another holiday ?

Republicans don’t have a plan other than to take health insurance away from people. Let me know how that plays in 2020

LOL Republicans are stunned that they will be forced to revisit their non-existent healthcare plan. Jesus take the wheel. MAGA-Cult

yo did anyone remember to tell him that the Republicans do not control the House anymore.

That's like asking the KKK to build the black history museum.

The new solution, if passed, will be...?

Hmmmmm.....they have had eight years. Enough of the Republican BS!

GOP doesn't want any health care insurance!

TheyHaveNoPlan TheyHaveNoPlan TheyHaveNoPlan TheyHaveNoPlan TheyHaveNoPlan TheyHaveNoPlan TheyHaveNoPlan TheyHaveNoPlan TheyHaveNoPlan TheyHaveNoPlan TheyHaveNoPlan TheyHaveNoPlan TheyHaveNoPlan TheyHaveNoPlan TheyHaveNoPlan TheyHaveNoPlan TheyHaveNoPlan

They have had years to come up with something!!!! They have nothing!

Shocked the shit out of the 3 unsuspecting members of Congress he named out of the blue to come up,with an ACA replacement plan.

Geez. Too bad they haven’t had idk... TEN FN YEARS to come up with a gotdam plan. What a load of Bullshit. Gop doesn’t give a flying ef about our healthcare. SaveYourDamnBreath WeAintBuyingYourBullshit DontGoAwayMadJustGoTheEfAway

This is a joke after 9 years the republicans still don’t have a plan to replace Obama care so they are going to scrap Obama care with NOTHING to replace it with. Their answer is GOD will help you.

What Republican health care plan? There never was a 'replace' plan, just repeal.

They had nine friggin long years of whining: whatever they come up with will hurt the average citizen. They must have their own benefits cut. No more life time

So inept these guys why didn’t they do it when they controlled Congress

Just rebrand the ACA as America Care Act. That way we won’t die and the president can stop with this foolishness.

Oh goodie. Good news for the Dems.

But ...but... it was going to be so easy creating a “HUGE” new healthcare plan

HE HAS NO CLUE
