A Republican drive in the Senate to come up with a plan to replace the Affordable Care Act fell apart yesterday when two more Republican senators came out against their party's legislation.
That made for a total of four holdouts - the party has 52 seats in the 100-member legislature - and effectively doomed the legislation.
The collapse is a stinging blow to Trump and Republicans who have vowed for seven years that they would quickly dump former president Barack Obama's signature health care reform as soon as they could.
"As I have always said, let ObamaCare fail and then come together and do a great healthcare plan. Stay tuned!," he added.
Actually, Trump has consistently advocated repealing and replacing Obamacare at the same time, rather than doing it in stages, and has said it could be done quickly.
