Trump claims GOP will be the 'party of health care,' after urging judge to get rid of Obamacare entirely
WASHINGTON – Endorsing the idea that the courts should strike down all of former president Barack Obama's health care law, President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he and the Republicans will embrace the issue ahead of next year's elections.
Trump tweeted a similar sentiment just minutes before a meeting with Senate Republicans on Capitol Hill. "Republicans thought they had put a scab on their self-inflicted health care wounds from 2018, but Donald Trump just ripped off the band-aid again by going to court to try and overturn it," said Democratic strategist Jesse Ferguson.— Donald J.
A coalition of Republican-led states brought a lawsuit, Texas v. United States, arguing the entire health law should be thrown out.
