Donald Trump tweets health care fix suggestion 'add more dollars' according to : Washington Times

President Trump seemingly said Sunday that the federal government will make health care better by spending more money than Obamacare does. In a tweet Sunday night, Mr. Trump said that "I suggest that we addmore dollars to Healthcare and make it the best anywhere. The Congressional Budget Office last week also calculated that the House-passed American Health Care Act, which Mr. Trump has enthusiastically pushed, will cost about $119 billion less than Obamacare over the next decade. ObamaCare is dead - the Republicans will do much better!"The tweet appears odd since Obamacare opponents have spent nearly a decade deriding it, rightly or wrongly, as a big-government tax-and-spend program.




While he was gone, Trump's top advisers rolled out his first comprehensive budget plan. The House and Senate have also not completed a tax plan, or even proposed one that has passed through committee. Still, the White House has not proposed a comprehensive tax plan, and Trump did not include any new details of a tax overhaul in last week's budget proposal. It did not propose new health-care spending, as Trump alluded to in one of his Twitter posts Sunday evening. They also have not decided whether they want to pursue a long-term overhaul of the tax code or a temporary cut.
