Minutes ago, President Trump made headlines once again when he announced his belief that Republicans are closer to repealing and replacing Obamacare than many people might believe. So far, five Republican senators have come out with public denunciations and outright refusal to support the Senate GOP’s healthcare bill. Based on recent reports from CNBC, the President is highly displeased with the “level of hostility” in Congress and wishes that both parties would work together to engender progress and success.
Democrats and Republicans alike would do well to heed President Trump’s statements. Vicious attacks and refusal to compromise will halt any and all progression; meanwhile, the American people dealing with rising premiums and unaffordable costs will be the ones who suffer the most.
