When bioethicist and oncologist Ezekiel Emanuel met with President Donald Trump at the White House on Monday, the session revealed publicly what has been happening privately for months: A trusted ally of former President Barack Obama and chief architect of the Affordable Care Act is trying to help steer how Republicans take it apart.

With the administration and GOP leaders in Congress working to rewrite the landmark 2010 law - and Democrats displaying little appetite for negotiating with them - Emanuel appears to be one of the only members of his party with a seat at the table.

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

Well if this is true and not some Chicago Trib garbage, this Ryancare is going to self destruct in about 5 seconds.

"Obviously, [Emanuel] and the president have some differing views on the best way to make health care affordable and accessible," Spicer told reporters afterwards. "But the president also strongly believes that the health and well-being of the American people shouldn't always be a partisan issue," he said, noting that Trump also has talked about drug prices with Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland.


So he is talking to people, even people outside the party. How Presidential.

Let's impeach his sorry ass NOW!!!

Agree.  This presidency is the biggest con job to be pulled off in modern history.

Sorry azzhole. This is all the congressional GOP's baby. They have been sitting around crying the blues that if only they could control all branches of Govt' they would "Repeal and Replace". Two maybe three election cycles of that and they get their wish. Looks like they were lying because they had nothing ready. They all thought Donny was going to lose and they could keep pointing fingers at the Rats for the disaster. Now they are effed and Ryan is the one who is putting this crap together with the GOP congressional leadership in a hurry. Turns out they never had a plan because they all love Obamacare and the control it gives them along with the insurance lobby money.

So blaming some guy that just showed up a couple months ago ain't going to cut it irrational Trump hater. This Ryancare garbage is all coming from one place in DC. Crapitol Hill.

Are we going to have to have another chat about the difference between dry humor and sarcasm vs declarative statements?

My gal? What?

You had two choices on election day Snowflake. If Donny is such an absolute c-sucker, you obviously voted for the "rational" Hitlary. There were no third choices.

It was so easy for both the House and Senate to pass a simple repeal bill when they knew OPapaDoc was going to veto.  Now that they have to be accountable we are discovering just how duplicitous they were and are.

WTF is pretty much a destroyer of "safe spaces". Whatever you want to call him, a "Snowflake" is far off the mark.
