Marc Short, chief of staff to Vice President Mike Pence, says regarding health care, President Trump will be 'putting forward plans this year that we hope to introduce into Congress'
Speaking in the Oval Office, Trump said he believes the ruling will"be upheld" by higher courts and"will do very well in the Supreme Court." But his remarks also made clear the administration does not yet have a replacement ready to go."If the Supreme Court rules that Obamacare is out, we will have a plan that is far better than Obamacare," Trump said.
Mulvaney and Joe Grogan, the head of the White House's Domestic Policy Council, pushed back on Cipollone's concerns, believing the ruling would force Congress' hand to pass legislation repealing and replacing Obamacare, two sources said.The President ultimately sided with Mulvaney, eager to see President Barack Obama's signature heath care law struck down, the senior administration official said.
