Hair Furor: Obamacare Is Imploding

Politico reports:



President Donald Trump on Saturday doubled down on his claim that Obamacare is “imploding,” tweeting after days of notable restraint on social media. “We are making great progress with healthcare. ObamaCare is imploding and will only get worse. Republicans coming together to get job done,” the president wrote.

On Friday, Trump said during a meeting on health care with Vice President Mike Pence and House committee chairmen that 2017 “would be a disaster for Obamacare. That’s the year it was meant to explode because Obama won’t be here. That was when it was supposed to be even worse.”

Trump has in the past week defended the pace at which Congress has tried to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, a signature campaign pledge. Trump has stepped back from Twitter in the past week following a series of tweets last Saturday in which he claimed with no evidence that President Barack Obama wiretapped Trump Tower.
