Having recently learned that healthcare is complicated, President Trump has now discovered that legislating is complicated too. For example, Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, citing problems with his state’s Obamacare exchange, urged the Senate on Friday to keep working on the issue despite the House’s failure.) It was Republicans who wouldn't even let Democrats see the bill they were working on until it was filed. That's a fundamental difference between the lengthy process that resulted in the ACA and the pell-mell rush to vote on the House GOP leadership's bill. What he hopes to see, he said, is for Democrats to get together with Republicans and produce “a real healthcare bill.” Amen to that.
