http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/trump-will-be-very-angry-if-obamacare-isnt-repealedBy MATT SHUHAM Published JULY 12, 2017 4:15 PM
President Donald Trump expressed frustration on Wednesday at Senate Republicans failure, so far, to repeal and replace Obamacare and make deep cuts to Medicaid.
I am sitting in the Oval Office with a pen in hand, waiting for our senators to give it to me, Trump told Pat Robertson, the conservative Christian founder of Christian Broadcasting Network. For years, theyve been talking about repeal-replace, repeal-replace.
Mediaite noted it was Trumps first interview with an outlet that wasnt Fox News in more than two months.
Trump said congressional Republicans votes to repeal the Affordable Care Act during the Obama administration didnt mean anything, undercutting Republicans frequent boasts that the symbolic repeal votes showed their resolve to get rid of the legislation.
Now we have a President thats waiting to sign it, Trump said, referring to the Obamacare repeal bill. I have pen in hand, so now it means something. You know, those other times, those many, many times, that they passed it, it didnt mean anything.
