Trump says GOP senators are working on an Obamacare replacement
By Colby Itkowitz Colby Itkowitz Congress, campaigns, health policy, Pennsylvania politics Email Bio Follow March 28 at 6:30 PM President Trump announced Thursday that a team of GOP senators is ready to give health care another shot after nearly a decade of promising and failing to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.
“They are going to come up with something really spectacular,” Trump told reporters before heading to a political rally in Michigan. Trump also sounded triumphant about a lawsuit brought by 20 states seeking that Obamacare be ruled unconstitutional. A federal judge in Texas ruled in December that the entire law hinged on the fee imposed on people without health insurance. Since Congress eliminated that mandate in its tax bill, the law is no longer constitutional, the judge ruled. An appeal on that case is pending.
