White House Sends Mixed Signals on Future Healthcare Plans

HeadlineMar 30, 2017

The White House sent mixed signals Wednesday about whether President Trump will try again to revamp the nation’s healthcare system, following the collapse last week of a House bill that would have repealed parts of the Affordable Care Act. This is President Trump speaking Tuesday evening at the White House.

President Donald Trump: “I know that we’re all going to make a deal on healthcare. That’s such an easy one. So I have no doubt that that’s going to happen very quickly. I think it will, actually. I think it’s going to happen, because we’ve all been promising—Democrat, Republican—we’ve all been promising that to the American people.”

On Wednesday, Press Secretary Sean Spicer said President Trump was joking when he made those remarks, adding that another effort at passing healthcare legislation remains an “ongoing discussion.”
