A Closer Look At The Dynamic Between Rand Paul and Donald Trump

While Senator Paul and President Trump are no longer adversaries or enemies, there are still some remaining issues where they hold different opinions. One of those issues is healthcare and the manner in which Obamacare should be repealed and replaced. Senator Paul gave the following statement on healthcare, as reported by Politico:

“I’m also fearful, both politically and also from the point of view of policy, that if we keep parts of Obamacare in place, that the Republican plan will fail. And I’m really wanting Republicans to be saved from themselves. If they take over health care and pass something that resembles Obamacare and doesn’t work, then we will own a terrible and tragic health care system, and I don’t think Republicans ought to own this thing.”

While Senator Paul and President Trump have different ideas of how to enact appropriate healthcare reform, both men seem willing to compromise, to a certain extent, as a means to engender success and progress that will benefit the nation as a whole. Too many American politicians are unwilling to join forces and work productively with those who may disagree with them.
