Schakowsky: ‘Vindictive’ Trump May Be Trying to Figure out How to Make ObamaCare Explode

RUSH EXCERPT:
SCHAKOWSKY: “Well, first of all, let me just say that this — the reason that there was a spectacular failure on the part of the Republicans yesterday is because hundreds of thousands of people across the country got a great lesson on the — on ObamaCare and also on what the devastating bill that was really about that the Republicans proposed. We as Democrats have been going to the Republicans for seven years and saying we are fully aware that ObamaCare is not perfect. It’s far from perfect. There are a number of serious problems we would like to work with you to solve. And they said absolutely no. By the time they were done, this bill was so malicious, would have not only thrown off 24 million people and charged 50 to 64-year-olds this ridiculous age tax. But it would have taken basic essential benefits in healthcare. Like emergency rooms and maternity care. It was just a horrible bill and people saw that. So yes, we are more than willing to sit down and say we want to make sure people can not only afford their premiums, but have access to healthcare without huge out of pocket costs. We’ve always been ready to go. We’ll see if the Republicans want to do it or if the president who is known to be somewhat vindictive sometimes wants to see now ObamaCare implode, explode.”
