Trump Points Finger at Any Senator ‘Who Votes Against’ Debate on ‘Obamacare Nightmare’
Amidst criticism that he has played too passive a role in Health Care reform, President Donald Trump spoke live about the highly debated health care bill on Monday today and appeared to reinforce a phrase now in the current political lexicon: “Obamacare nightmare.”
But lost in the dystopian description of current U.S. health care policy is the suggested ire and venom directed at GOP senators who the president clearly feels are dropping the ball on this issue.
The looming divide between Capital Hill Republicans and the White House has been brewing for some time, with Trump taking to Twitter suggesting Republicans are to blame for not passing Health Care reform, especially after blaming Obamacare for seven plus years.
Not surprisingly, Twitter reacted in full throat to Trump’s comments. To wit:
“Death,” “nightmare,” terrible,” “disaster,” “lies,” “horrible,” “collapsing,” – President paints a grim picture of Obamacare

“Any senator who votes against starting debate is telling America you are fine with the Obamacare nightmare.” — Donald Trump

Trump is trying to sell you on uninsuring 20 million while exploding costs by comparing it a law that’s almost twice as popular as his bill.

Trump notes someone who was “forced” by Obamacare to “go on Medicaid.” Says it was a nightmare. What would happen to this person under BCRA?
