Agreeing to add more Medicaid curbs to the House Republican healthcare bill to bolster support from some conservative lawmakers, President Trump spoke in favor of the Republican proposed healthcare bill. "I just want to let the world know I am 100 percent in favor" of the measure, Trump said at the White House after meeting around a dozen House lawmakers and shaking hands on revisions. "We're going to have a health care plan that's going to be second to none."
President Trump again shows his chronic habit of hyperbole and a boasting facade of having a Midas touch. The prospects of success in the House (and the Senate later) remain iffy.
In January Trump vowed, "We're going to have insurance for everybody" (link). The proposed bill doesn't do that. He also vowed to not touch Medicare. Promises, promises, not often kept.
Yet some Trump supporters have faith in his health-care plan. How
deluded some people can be continues to amaze me.
