.MaddowBlog: Pres. Trump, GOP clash over who’s supposed to lead on health care.
As of this week, Donald Trump has a new health care strategy: the president wants federal courts to tear down the entirety of the Affordable Care Act and take health care coverage from tens of millions of Americans. This raises a series of fairly obvious questions, but near the top of the list is, “What exactly does he plan to do if this strategy succeeds?”
Oh, good. It may appear that Trump is playing a life-or-death game with the health security of millions of families out of partisan spite, but we’re not supposed to worry because Republicans “will have a plan.”On Tuesday, the president traveled to Capitol Hill and asked GOP lawmakers to come up with the party’s health care plan. Yesterday, congressional Republicans said they’d be delighted if the White House presented them with the party’s health care plan.
But we’ve heard this promise before. In January 2017, two weeks before Trump’s presidential inauguration, he assured the public that his team was poised to unveil its health care plan. That was 26 months ago – and that plan still doesn’t exist.
