Trumpcare: dead on arrival?
Got a minute? House bill to replace Obamacare hits wall of resistance from Republicans … but Trump calls it ‘wonderful’ ... and everything else today in US politics. By Tom McCarthy
A large, flightless bird
“Obamacare Lite”, “bad policy”, and a “warmed-over substitute” – those were just some of the early reviews from conservative groups for a House GOP plan to repeal and replace Barack Obama’s healthcare law.
Not even Republicans like it
Republican politicians held a news conference to reject the bill and call for a straight repeal of Obamacare instead. That set up a clash with Donald Trump, who called the bill “wonderful” and said: “I’m proud to support the replacement plan.”
