\u201cIf we don\u2019t get what we want, we will make a deal with the Democrats and we will have \u2014 in my opinion \u2014 not as good a form of healthcare, but we are going to have a very good form of healthcare and it will be a bipartisan form of healthcare.\u201d\u00a0 <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Whether or not President Trump actually means what he said remains to be seen. He has been all over the road meandering his way to little success thus far. So, maybe the reality show host has finally learned that being wealthy, a braggart, and a whiner just cut it in\u00a0politics or governing. Not in a democratic republic anyway.<\/p>\n

If in fact Trump can convince\u00a0enough congressional republicans, forget about the hardheaded\/knuckleheads of the so-called\u00a0Freedom Caucus,<\/strong> to work with democrats in a truly bipartisan way that results in a healthcare system that works for all Americans we’ll be on board and pulling hard for Trump to succeed. Because if he is true to his word this time America will succeed.<\/p>\n

We’re gonna hold our breath for a bit and give Trump a chance to put his “famed” deal making expertise at work on this one. Hopefully he won’t disappoint.<\/p>\n

From THE HILL<\/strong>:<\/a><\/p>\n

President Trump will \u201cmake a deal with the Democrats\u201d if Republicans can’t get their way on healthcare.<\/p>\n

In an interview published Sunday in the Financial Times<\/span><\/u><\/a>, Trump said negotiations on healthcare are ongoing, just a week after Republican measures to repeal and replace ObamaCare failed to get a vote in the House.<\/p>\n

Skip<\/p>\n

The GOP measures that failed last month were met with skepticism from both conservative lawmakers and centrist Republicans. Members of the House Freedom Caucus argued in favor a clean repeal of ObamaCare, while moderate Republicans expressed concern over the new plan\u2019s dismantling of ObamaCare\u2019s Medicaid expansion.<\/p>\n

Since Republicans pulled the bill from the House floor last month, Trump has criticized several Freedom Caucus members over their vocal opposition to the GOP proposal.<\/p>\n

In the interview with the Financial Times, Trump said if he works to recruit Democrats, then the \u201cFreedom Caucus loses so big.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell I will get the Democrats if I go the second way. The second way, which I hate to see, then the Freedom Caucus loses so big and I hate to see that, because\u2009… our plan is going to be a very good plan. When I say our plan, not phase one just: phase one, two and three added up is a great plan\u2009…\u201d said Trump.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course there is no certainty Democrats will be in any mood to work with a man who has spent his time do little if anything to build trust and respect.<\/p>\n

Hoping for a sea change resulting in cooperation that finally yields a win-win outcome that sets America on real change and AFFORDABLE heath insurance for all. Middle America needs some help here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
