Democrats on Tuesday embraced U.S. President Donald Trump's call to revive a fight over healthcare coverage, ensuring the issue will dominate the ...
WASHINGTON: Democrats mocked President Donald Trump on Tuesday for pushing back his promise of sweeping healthcare reform until after the 2020 election, and said they were happy to make it a central campaign issue.
Democrats gleefully jumped on the delay, saying it showed Trump and his party had no idea what to do with healthcare beyond repealing the 2010 Affordable Care Act, popularly known as Obamacare. He said a Republican plan would mean most Americans pay lower premiums and deductibles for their healthcare than they currently pay under Obamacare, revisiting a promise he made during the 2016 campaign.
"Republicans should not run away from healthcare. You can’t do it. You’re going to get clobbered," Trump said. Trump and his fellow Republicans vowed in the 2016 presidential election to"repeal and replace" Obamacare but failed to do so during their first two years in power, despite control of both the Senate and the House.
