Dave McIntosh: ‘Encouraging’ Trump Agreed the GOP Healthcare Bill Needs To Be Changed

‘The president and his team said, yes, we get it, this needs to be changed’

RUSH EXCERPT:
McINTOSH: "We shared those concerns, criticisms of the bill, with the president. I can say, I was encouraged because he was listening. Yes, he was selling, he said, we’ve got to get something done, I am pushing you and the Congress to get a bill through so that we can repeal ObamaCare. We pointed out that the house bill isn’t the best vehicle for doing that. They don’t fully repeal ObamaCare. They keep some of the taxes that he passed. They keep the expansion of Medicaid, and the worst thing for us is, they don’t create competition against across state lines. People will end up spending as much as they do now on their health insurance bill. And the promises that Republicans made were, we are going to repeal it so there will be competition, free market, you can pay less and get better health care ... The most encouraging thing, Shannon, the president and his team said, yes, we get it, this needs to be changed. We encouraged him, go push them to change it, we want to work with you to pass a better bill."
