President Trump said Tuesday he's prepared to “let
ObamaCare fail” after the collapse of Senate Republicans' latest health
care bill, indicating he's willing to move on to tax reform and other
issues – and deal with an Affordable Care Act fix down the road.
“I think we're probably in that
position where we'll just let ObamaCare fail,” Trump told reporters at
the White House. “We're not going to own it. I'm not going to own it. I
can tell you the Republicans are not going to own it. We'll let
ObamaCare fail, and then the Democrats are going to come to us."
He spoke after two more Republican senators came out
late Monday against the Senate bill, effectively killing its chances in
its current form. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., plans
to call a vote on a bill to repeal ObamaCare now and replace it later,
but on Tuesday afternoon left the door open to working with Democrats if
that fails.http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/07/18/trump-says-time-to-let-obamacare-fail-after-health-bill-stalls.html
