Senate GOP and White House plan final, urgent blitz to pass health-care law
By Kelsey Snell, Sean Sullivan and Robert Costa July 7 at 7:52 PM
The White House and Senate Republican leaders are planning a final, urgent blitz to pressure reluctant GOP senators to pass an overhaul of the Affordable Care Act before their month-long August recess.
Aware that the next 14 days probably represent their last chance to salvage their flagging endeavor, President Trump, Vice President Pence and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) intend to single out individual senators and escalate a broad defense of the evolving proposal, according to Republicans familiar with their plans.
When Trump returns from Europe, he plans to counter the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Offices analysis of the legislation which shows that 22 million fewer people would have insurance coverage by 2026 than under the current law with figures and analyses from conservative groups and Republicans that show more benefits and less disruption, should the bill pass, according to a White House official familiar with the strategy.
Pence, meanwhile, is being asked to help bring along skeptical GOP senators, including Sen. Dean Heller (Nev.), to whom he has already reached out personally.

Trump is as dumb as a box of rocks and he will use the White House as a Family Branding Tool. BTW,he was burned by this Sucker on a Promotional Deal with his Casino. Had to eat several Thousands.
