President Trump to Republicans: Replace Obamacare or Lose Your Jobs

President Trump warned Republican members of Congress that they stand to lose their seats if they don’t vote for the House GOP’s Obamacare replacement plan this week.

Speaking on Capitol Hill just 48 hours before the House expects to vote on the health care bill, Trump told wavering Republicans that they had to repeal Obamacare now, or never.

"I honestly think many of you will lose your seats in 2018 if you don't get this done,” Trump said according to three Republicans. He said that he believed the Republican majority would also be in peril if the bill doesn’t pass.

“If we don’t get this done, we lose the House and the Senate,” the President told lawmakers at the closed-door meeting. But if they were successful in passing the bill, the President predicted, Republicans would win 10 seats in the Senate and make further gains in the House.

For seven years, Republicans have promised their constituents they would repeal of the former president’s signature legislative achievement. But the party is divided between conservatives and moderates over how to repeal the law.

The debate over what parts of Obamacare to repeal — and whether the Republicans will end up hurting their own constituents — has became a painful crucible for the party.

But it is not just a test for members of Congress. Trump promised to repeal Obamacare, and the political blowback will be just as sharp on his young and disorganized Administration. Trump’s thinly veiled threat capped weeks of lobbying by the president, who has tried to cajole lawmakers to embrace the bill and cut deals with others to win their support.

Speaking with lawmakers, the President Trump framed Thursday’s vote on the health care legislation as a binary choice between repealing the law, and keeping it in place indefinitely, according to several lawmakers in the meeting. President Trump also promised lawmakers unhappy with the bill that further changes could be made in the Senate.

Some are worried they will lose their jobs if they vote FOR the bill.

Perhaps the title needs to be changed to Healthcare replacement bill. If I'm not mistaken this is the Ryan plan. There is not a clean bill to simply repeal.

It is also what Trump said he wanted in a healthcare bill.
