Marc Short, chief of staff to Vice President Mike Pence, says regarding health care, President Trump will be 'putting forward plans this year that we hope to introduce into Congress'

Speaking in the Oval Office, Trump said he believes the ruling will"be upheld" by higher courts and"will do very well in the Supreme Court." But his remarks also made clear the administration does not yet have a replacement ready to go."If the Supreme Court rules that Obamacare is out, we will have a plan that is far better than Obamacare," Trump said.

Mulvaney and Joe Grogan, the head of the White House's Domestic Policy Council, pushed back on Cipollone's concerns, believing the ruling would force Congress' hand to pass legislation repealing and replacing Obamacare, two sources said.The President ultimately sided with Mulvaney, eager to see President Barack Obama's signature heath care law struck down, the senior administration official said.

 

Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.

Trump has had over two years to devise an alternative to Obamacare and the republicans, over nine, and still nothing but destroy but do not replace. They would rather harm millions of Americans to remove any legacy of a black president.

Heard this one before. Still waiting

Ignorant man.

What happened to Russian Collusion?

And a lot of people hope most of you lizards will be in prison by then.

Trump never did any of his own homework and all the best people have resigned. So I laugh.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 What happened to RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA? Now it’s HEALTHCARE HEALTHCARE HEALTHCARE? Thanks Pelosi!!

You need to get rid of the whole shebang the whole idea! The healthcare do they got in the United States is no good not even the insurance companies are giving you good coverage on anyting the whole thing stinks

Who is he foolin'? tRump rides off on Obama's Economy. tRump cannot even get done with disastrous tariffs with China! tRump unable to dismantle KJU nukes!(instead kju played him). tRump balloned the NationalDebt & budget deficits! Now u'r blubbering Healthcare delusion? ' nuts!

It means they have nothing to offer. Even before elections with majority in both houses Republicans priority was to give millionaires Tax Cuts

Where are the. Umbers of ppl who pay doubled premiums so that others get better healthcare for free. I’m sick of it. Buy your own healthcare and I’ll buy mine. Common sense

Where were they last year or the year before that? The GOP had several years before 2017 to figure out something. And there remains nothing. Are they expecting people to really have faith after all this time that the GOP will come up with something within the next 6 to 12 months?

2018 was a referendum on Trump. It is not over. Vote2020 BlueWave2020

THEY HAVE NO PLAN NOW LIKE 8 YRS SCREAMING DURING OBAMA-THEY HAVE ONLY HAD EMPTY WORDS NO PLAN

So they didn’t have a plan when McCain voted thumbs down? As usual. Another lie.

R's don't have a plan (or a clue)! It's all for the rich just like the tax scam!

I would bet Trump can’t even spell Medicare

People who barks too much have no plan but talks, let them do it rather than keep saying it. They have some stupid followers believes on them!

Right on Marc!

Noticed you didn’t say how many were fined for not getting it because it wasn’t affordable!!!!!!!

They are trump supporters. That we know for sure

So 'Thoughts and prayers' will be the new healthcare?

He hasn’t got a gd plan. He never had a plan.

Why not now Because he has ZERO intention to replace the ACA. Gaslighting lies propaganda

I hope it only applies to Americans, not Dems and illegals.

wonderful how short was able to mention the dems 'march towards socialised medicine' twice between wolf repeating what vallary jarrett was yelling in his ear-piece

San Francisco.... An elderly man was brutally beaten and his pro-life sign was taken away by this Planned Parenthood supporter: 👇👇 RT until this thug is identified and arrested!! SFPD

If it's not better than the current AHC, Congress will reject it.

Republicans have had ten years to come up with a health care plan. The only thing they have accomplished is tearing down every health benefit they could, with NO plan for replacement! NONE!

Marc Short is back, still making a fool of himself.

Oh, I’m sure they’ll be on board. Sounds like a plan.

They had two years.

Good. Anything is better than that disaster Obamacare.

The Republican Party put forward plans before. They were lamentable - uncreative, ineffective, condemning Americans to stress, penury and fear. Put up or shut up.

Can’t wait to see Trump try to get consensus in GOP on healthcare. Kevin McCarthy knows that block grants and tort reform are not a healthcare program.

They've had nine years. Why should this year be any different?

Pulitzer Prize-Winning Journalist Glenn Greenwald :

According to Short, President Trump will be 'putting forward plans this year that we hope to introduce into Congress' HOPE?

Breaking: FBI says they are investigating Jussie Smollett and the dropping of charges around him Justice must be served. No one is above the law.

OMG :D:D:D:D

Trump NEVER HAD a healthcare plan. I repeat NEVER. During the campaign, he claimed to have one that would give EVERYONE healthcare coverage. He lied. John McCain knew that the repeal and replace was smoke and mirrors. Trump still HAS NOTHING! Trump do the work? 🤣 Healthcare

You get affordable health care through free market competition ..The poorest of people should be given vouchers and let them choose the doctor they want not what the government tells them to go to

Thats because he has no back up plan he just wants to get rid of it cause it reminds him of Obama

This will be 'way better' than the 'horrible' obama care 'that you can't 'keep' your own' doctor' and cant afford the coverage! TrumpTrain

They have had his many years and they still don’t have anything together?

Another delaying tactical lie.

The remaining dems should jump on the Medicare for all train!

Sure they will lol

ACA sucks

Is this going to be NAFTA 2.0 all over again where he just rebrands the current plan and sells it to his base as new? If President Trump sold used cars he'd be the guy who rolled back the odometer and told the customer it's a new car despite it being a '72 Impala.

Lol he has had 2 years to produce a plan but sure one is forthcoming.....

Let’s see em now! Why haven’t they been released before if they’re so great

Considering that SpeakerPelosi worked for 18 months to deliver the original ACA this Republican joke will be DOA lol

another scam. Just like everything else. folks are stupid. You can keep on running the same scam on them and they will lap it up. Its a shame. Just as a middle american white is their life better, do they have more money in their pocket, less debt or job security....

So let’s keep what we have until then!
