US President Donald Trump wants to save the already failed health reform with a kind of "holiday lock" for republican senators.
"People should not leave the city unless we have a health insurance plan as long as we can not give people great health care," said Trump. At noon, he gathered all the Republican senators in Washington to a round table in the White House.
On Monday, the last attempts at the opposition from their own ranks had failed to submit yet a multi-purpose reform proposal for the controversial "Obamacare" of Trumps predecessors. According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), all the proposals discussed would have a negative impact on the health care of millions of people in the USA.
According to the Republican majority leader in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, next week's vote will be held. McCullell said on Wednesday, after the meeting with Trump, that a solution package should be agreed, but this still leaves room for changes and improvements. "There will be no harm if we vote," he said. On Tuesday, Trump had also said it was probably the best thing to have "Obamacare" fail. Then the opposition Democrats would be forced to work on a solution. His comments from Wednesday are now in the completely opposite direction.
