“After seven horrible years of ObamaCare (skyrocketing premiums & deductibles, bad healthcare), this is finally your chance for a great plan,” Trump said of his controversial healthcare proposal.

“The irony is that the Freedom Caucus, which is very pro-life and against Planned Parenthood, allows P.P. to continue if they stop this plan!”
Trump’s plan has been panned by many conservative members of congress due to the number of citizens who would lose healthcare, and that the plan would be too costly.

Many in politics have been taken aback by Trump’s stance that he will not negotiate a different healthcare plan.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), a member of the House Freedom Caucus, had this to say on Friday.
“If Exec branch tells Legislative branch ‘when 2 vote’ ‘how 2 vote’ & ‘what it will b allowed 2 work on if vote fails,’ is that a republic?”
