McConnell called it “the one disappointment of this Congress from a Republican point of view.”He said, “If we had the votes to completely start over, we’d do it. But that depends on what happens in a couple weeks… We’re not satisfied with the way Obamacare is working.”
President - Donald - Trump - Obamacare - Republicans
President Donald Trump also favors ending Obamacare, which Republicans criticized as a costly and unneeded intrusion on Americans’ healthcare. About 20 million Americans have received health insurance coverage through the program, a landmark legislative achievement for Obama and Democrats.On social programs, McConnell said in an interview with Reuters: “Entitlements are the long-term drivers...
