President Donald Trump on Tuesday morning called for letting Obamacare fail, just hours after saying Republicans should act now to repeal the law — offering seemingly mixed messages as the party tries to regroup following the collapse of the Senate health care bill on Monday night.

Trump was consistent, however, in saying that Republicans need to rally around a new health care plan to fulfill the GOP’s seven-year promise to get rid of former President Barack Obama’s signature legislative achievement.

“As I have always said, let ObamaCare fail and then come together and do a great healthcare plan. Stay tuned!” Trump tweeted on Tuesday morning, after having wrote Monday night that “Republicans should just REPEAL failing ObamaCare now & work on a new Healthcare Plan that will start from a clean slate. Dems will join in!”

The president has been applying pressure to Republicans to move quickly on getting rid of Obamacare, so that he can move on to other priorities such as a tax reform package and an infrastructure plan. But Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has struggled to find a health care bill that will satisfy enough conservatives and moderates to secure the 50 votes needed for passage.

1. Ergo, the Hypocrite in Chief cheers for millions to lose healthcare insurance so he can get revenge

on Obama. How much longer can any nation tolerate such evil let alone a democratic nation?

4. And his rubes still don't understand he is a traitor.

The yah-hoos are just starting to understand they will lose ALL health care and they will go after Medicare, then Social Security. I live in a state where 50% of people are on Medicaid and some sort of gov't assistance. Of course most work at Walmart since they are the only game in town.

Are they paying attention to the hell they have thrown themselves and the country into?

2. the hatred of

Barack Obama is beyond comprehension... if the name of the ACA was Romneycare or such it would not be a source of irritation...

10. "Obamacare" was the Republicans' idea

They figured they could make it fail, so they associated it with President Obama.

That they're being driven by Trump's obsession with President Obama to get rid of everything positive with his name attached to it is poetic justice.

3. The sentiments of Trump really make me cry. I mean I am in tears.

5. It's like Deja Vu all over again.

What an idiot.

6. It's not Obamacare anymore... it is now Trumpcare. GOP owns it.

It's not Obamacare anymore... it is now Trumpcare. GOP owns it.

They have changed it.

Whether it succeeds or fails, they own it.

==========================

Trumpcare

GOP falsely claims that the democrats have no plan.

Hillary put that lie to rest but they still spew their nonsense.

January 16, 2017 Fox News

President-elect Donald Trump revealed in an interview with The Washington Post that he’s almost finished with a plan to replace ObamaCare and vowed to have “insurance for everybody."

---

The president-elect insisted that his plan for replacing the Affordable Healthcare Act is all but finished, and added that care would have “lower numbers, much lower deductibles.” He went as far to say that he’s ready to reveal it alongside Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan.

7. Trumpcare would have allowed useless junk insurance to be sold again.

Sure $50 a month "discount" insurance would be cheaper, but cover nothing. That was his only real plan, all the rest of the ACA is way over his intellectual pay grade.

8. Trump is

as reckless, irresponsible, and as reprehensible as most others on the right.

9. Trump wants to let ObabaCare fail, and he wants poor & sick people to die as a result

He's not done one single thing for poor and/or middle class Americans since he became POTUS.
He's of the rich, by the rich, and for the rich, and I wish he would just go back to Hell where he came from.
(Same for Pence, McConnell, Hatch, Eddie Munster and ALL the other GOP leaders)
