WOW! Republicans will be the party of healthcare, but not until after the 2020 election. SWEET!
Trump punts vote on health-care bill until after next year’s elections
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-punts-vote-on-health-care-bill-until-after-next-years-elections/2019/04/02/068305d2-552c-11e9-8ef3-fbd41a2ce4d5_story.html
President Trump signaled Monday night that he will not press for a vote on a bill to replace the Affordable Care Act until after next year’s elections, apparently heeding warnings from fellow Republicans about the perils of such a fight during campaign season.
In a series of late-night tweets, Trump continued to bash President Barack Obama’s signature health-care law but said a vote on a replacement would not occur until after the elections — suggesting that he believes he would still be in the White House and that Republicans would control both chambers of Congress at that point.
“Vote will be taken right after the Election when Republicans hold the Senate & win back the House,” Trump wrote. “It will be truly great HealthCare that will work for America.”
Congressional Republicans were caught off guard by Trump’s rapid shift to focus on health care last week, which was set off by his abrupt decision to direct the Justice Department to intervene in a federal court case seeking to eliminate the ACA in its entirety on constitutional grounds.
