President Trump predicted Friday that pressure on Democrats will compel them to work with Republicans to pass a healthcare reform package after Obamacare collapses.
"When it explodes, they come to us and we make one beautiful deal," Trump told the Washington Post's Robert Costa in a phone interview shortly after House leadership pulled the American Health Care Act in the face of conservative opposition.
Trump said he believed Republicans came within "five to 12 votes" of passing the AHCA. They needed 216 votes to send the legislation to the Senate.

The media has become so predictable, I’m beginning to think even the dimmest of bulbs know that the media will say or do anything to oppose Trump.
I heard that the Media has a lower approval rating than Congress. That kind of cynicism of the press is pretty much the final nail in the coffin for mainstream media. Nobody really cares anymore to tune in and be told what “Dan Rather” has to say...
I'm not at all sure Trump is that Machiavellian.
From what I can glean of the proceedings -- Trump was honestly enough trying to work with Congress through the Speaker of the House. That's Constitutional, isn't it? I would say it is. How else? By Presidential decree? We can't have that...
Ryan is left holding the bag. Trump has some fingerprints on that bag -- but only "I'm willing to" fingerprints.
Now how to Repeal outright? Make sure it's dead-dead?
Then the Dem's will be forced to come to the table. Somebody -- I don't know who, better get ready and stay "on ready" to deal with the humongous MESS the Democrat Party crafted (behind closed doors a lot of the time!).
The [Un]Affordable Care Act is still ObamaCare. Don't let anybody tell us different.
Trump is saying you will never see a bill as conservative as the one just defeated. Next one passes with democrats.
“We just seen what happens when a Never Trumper Ryan handled this mess and we are mad about it, you think we are going to forgive him, not ever, and its time to vote him out of his speakership, TODAY!!!
“
BINGO
You are a socialist and you are unfairly bashing Trump. socialism doesn't work(you and the liberal media need to realize that socialism can never work.
In Venezuela they are eating dogs they are starving so much because socialism collapsed the economy of a once prosperous nation called Venezuela.
Socialism won't work in 1/6 of the economy either.
Get a clue.
This is correct
Until Immigration is fixed it is near impossible to effectively:
The burden Mexico and the rest of the world has placed on our social welfare system along with the systematic assembly integration of immigrants into these programs puts too much stress on all areas of society, it is too expensive and has a negative benefit. We can't afford anything. We must take this pressure off our institutions while encouraging free market entrepreneur activity.
I hope now Trump introduces his healtcare plan but in a bit. Meanwhile he has been working on getting the wall started.
The thing about the wall is that it is a physical thing that all can see and benefits all America.
Yup. Medicare for all. Just my educated guess. Just imagine all the illegals on Medicare. Bankrupt America.
Yep
Agree!
I think you're right on this.
“As I wrote, the next deal is with the Democrats and then the freedom caucus votes will not matter.”
And thus the next deal will make everyone wish Ryancare had passed. To bring Democrats in that will mean more government spending and a stronger move toward a single payer, government run system. You won’t get any Democrats without it. They are too far to the Left.
But by then they might have completely destroyed this presidency anyway, so it really won’t matter.
Regardless of what Ryan said today, the people who have invested years in trying to reverse Obamacare will not give up. They will still face the same 60 vote hurdle in the Senate that probably doomed the Trump-Ryan approach.
We'll see if something can yet be done in reconcilation. And we'll need to see if HHS can address some problems through regulation. This fight isn't over. The issue isn't going away.
Yup, even Trump is hinting at some kind of single payer system...just by calling for a deal with Democrats. Jeez, they have him lined up ready for the kill shot...maybe he doesn’t care...who knows?
The Donald.

Excuse me, that’s PRESIDENT TRUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, sports fans, in a three dimensional chess tournament, President Trump hands the Rhinos their a**es and effectively boxes Paul Ryans ears. The babbling Rhinos had nothing in their magic boxes for the last 7 years after all. Nothing like a public drubbing to humble a person. Oh, and Paul Ryan, would you return to the locker room to turn in your Speaker tee shirt and keys? Thank you. That is all. Now, if the JV would clear the court, it is time for Varsity to step in.
Announcement today that The English have a single blood test that will not only tell you if you have cancer but the location.
Also from the English last week they seem to have an Alzheimer's cure. Uses Ultra Sound to dissolve the amyloid deposits that have been blamed for the problem.
Make HealthCare a free enterprise business and watch the cost come down.
Back Surgery is an expensive and dangerous prospect but Laser Spine Institute does bandaid surgery for a mere $40,000 to $1000,000 in a fifteen minute procedure that could be taught to any kid with good reflexes. Dental work is not so much medical as mechanical, in fact barbers used to do the dental and surgical work.
Not to mention they seem to have a youth pill that encourages DNA to rebuild returning to youthful cell structure, at least in mice and human trials should begin in six months.
Bring Back Free Enterprise. Screw Government Healthcare.
