Trump labelled the North Korean leader a "madman" and criticized Sen. McCain's opposition to Republican efforts to repeal and replace Obamacare.
Donald Trump
Don’t get too excited about McCain. The September 30 ‘deadline’ for Trumpcare is just a hoax.
Republicans in Congress are trying to push their latest effort to attempt to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, spearheaded by Sens. Lindsay Graham (R-SC) and Bill Cassidy (R-LA), through the Senate before September 30 without proper hearings or a score from the Congressional Budget Office. It can only be debated on the Senate floor for 90 seconds.
The goal is to pass the bill via reconciliation, which means it needs only a simple majority to pass and avoids any chance of a...
The White House didn’t do its homework on Trumpcare, so we did it for them
A White House official said they “really aren’t sure” what the impact of the latest Republican effort to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act would be, as Politico reported Friday—but a number of analyses have found the bill would hurt every state and leave 32 million people without insurance by 2026.
The bill, spearheaded by Sens. Lindsay Graham (R-SC) and Bill Cassidy (R-LA), would block grant health care funding to the states. The plan would also repeal a number of taxes ma...
Cassidy argues his bill protects people with preexisting conditions, because Trump tweeted it did
During a radio interview on Thursday, Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) made a case that the health care bill bearing his name must protect people with preexisting conditions, because President Trump said so in a tweet.
In response to host C.L. Bryant’s question about how the so-called Graham-Cassidy legislation will affect people with preexisting conditions, Cassidy’s immediately brought up a tweet Trump published Wednesday evening.
I would not sign G...
Here’s what the key Republican swing votes are saying about Graham-Cassidy
As Republicans try (again) to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, a small group of Republican senators are in the spotlight.
The bill, spearheaded by Sens. Lindsay Graham (R-SC) and Bill Cassidy (R-LA), would block grant health care funding to the states and repeal a number of taxes in place under Obamacare. The grants would steadily decline over time, and all states would suffer under cuts of up to $4 trillion over the next two decades. An estimated 32 million people will l...
Pence uses fake Jefferson quote to dodge critical question about Trumpcare
During a Fox & Friends interview on Thursday morning, Vice President Mike Pence was asked to respond to concerns people rightfully have that the latest Trumpcare bill will make it tougher for people with preexisting conditions to obtain and keep health insurance.
“Folks like Jimmy Kimmel, they’re worried about the preexisting condition thing, ’cause this will be up to the governors to decide how the money is dispersed, who gets coverage,” host Ainsley Ear...
With CBO sidelined, key senator turns to Trump administration’s cooked numbers to evaluate Trumpcare
A key Republican senator, who is likely to decide the fate of her party’s latest effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act and phase-out Medicaid, says she will rely on a Trump administration office with a history of producing cooked figures in order to determine whether to back the bill.
Earlier this week, the Congressional Budget Office announced that, due to the rushed process Senate Republicans are using to try to pass the latest version of Trumpcare, it will not be able to...
Trump blocks woman with stage 4 cancer on Twitter after she criticized his latest health care plan
On Wednesday morning, President Trump tweeted out his support for the so-called Graham-Cassidy health care bill that would allow insurers to discriminate against people with preexisting conditions and could cause tens of millions to lose coverage.
I hope Republican Senators will vote for Graham-Cassidy and fulfill their promise to Repeal & Replace ObamaCare. Money direct to States!

Report finds that every state would suffer under Trumpcare
The latest attempt by Republicans in Congress to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, spearheaded by Sens. Lindsay Graham (R-SC) and Bill Cassidy (R-LA), would reduce federal funding to states by $215 billion over ten years, ultimately decreasing funding for all states, according to an analysis released Wednesday.
The bill has the support of President Donald Trump, who has consistently pushed for Republicans to repeal and replace the ACA after repeated failures to do so in re...
