Trump slams Democratic 'obstruction' on health reform
- Senate leaders last week unveiled a revamped health care plan aimed at fulfilling Trump’s pledge to repeal Obamacare, the landmark reform of his Democratic predecessor Barack Obama.
But the measure so far has failed to garner enough support to pass with only Republican votes — although the party has a majority in the Senate — after a handful of GOP lawmakers revolted.
“The health care bill would be so great if the Democrats and Republicans could get together, wrap their arms around it so that everybody is happy with it,” Trump complained on the “Fox and Friends” program, in a previously taped interview broadcast early today.
