Forty-four members of the Senate Democratic caucus have signed a letter to President Trump signaling they are open to working with him on health care — but not before he ends his effort to attack the Affordable Care Act. “Your administration must commit to putting an end to all efforts to unravel the ACA, undermine the health care system, increase costs, or hurt patients, providers and families,” the letter tells Trump. Since that time, Trump and his aides have expressed openness to working with Democrats on health-care and other big legislative priorities. The letter serves as notice that Democrats have the numbers to block Senate Republicans from taking steps under normal Senate procedure to go after the ACA. The four senators in the Democratic Caucus whose names do not appear on the letter are Sens.
