President Trump on Wednesday targeted Sen.
Rand Paul (R-Ky.) for being a "negative force" on health care.
"Rand Paul is a friend of mine but he is such a negative force when it comes to fixing healthcare. Graham-Cassidy Bill is GREAT! Ends Ocare!" he tweeted.
"I hope Republican Senators will vote for Graham-Cassidy and fulfill their promise to Repeal & Replace ObamaCare. Money direct to States!"

September 20, 2017Paul has called the bill from Sens.
Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and
Bill Cassidy (R-La.) "ObamaCare lite" and said he wouldn't support it.
The Graham-Cassidy bill seeks to give more power to states by converting money currently spent on ObamaCare’s subsidies and Medicaid expansion into block grants for states.
Earlier this week, Paul
expressed concern that the Republicans' latest attempt to repeal ObamaCare might pass.
“There's a big groundswell of people pushing for this,” Paul told reporters on Monday. “Two weeks ago, I’d have said zero [chance it’ll pass], but now I’m worried.”
