As Trump’s 100-day mark quickly approaches, the president aims his scorn at Canada’s trade policies while House Republicans got to work trying to amend and pass another health care bill.
Republicans Carefully Add Amendment to Trumpcare
The health care bill that failed a few weeks ago is being hastily amended, including compromises by House Republicans. Changes include adding a waiver system for states that wished to do health care differently. Many see this as an attempt to get a victory on the books before Trump passes the hundred-day mark, according to ABC News. One official at the White House said that the goal was to get a vote on the bill next week; however, there were some doubts that would happen. Dave Brat is one Freedom Caucus member who was vehemently opposed to the first iteration of Trumpcare, but stating the current version of the amendment looks ‘very promising.’
The bill’s changes seem to be designed to appeal to Freedom Caucus conservatives like Brat, but chances are the next attempt will still remain Obamacare 2.0.
