Democrats who have loudly opposed Republican efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act “have no policies or ideas,” President Donald Trump wrote online Monday morning, and are themselves responsible for the controversial healthcare legislation that GOP lawmakers have campaigned against for years.
“The Democrats have become nothing but OBSTRUCTIONISTS, they have no policies or ideas. All they do is delay and complain. They own ObamaCare!” Trump wrote on Twitter Monday morning. He followed up shortly with a second health care-related post: "Republican Senators are working very hard to get there, with no help from the Democrats. Not easy! Perhaps just let OCare crash & burn!"
The president’s promise to repeal and replace his predecessor’s signature healthcare legislation is nearing a key hurdle this week, when the Senate is scheduled to vote on a bill that would undo Obamacare. If passed, it would need to be reconciled with the House version, passed weeks ago, before making its way to Trump’s desk.
Trump’s labeling of Democrats as obstructionists has been a regular refrain, but with majorities in both the House and Senate, it is Republicans, not Democrats, who have thus far been the biggest obstacle to the president’s repeal-and-replace promise.
