Addressing reporters during the weekly House Leadership press conference Tuesday morning, Speaker Paul Ryan expressed frustration with the Senate's inability to come to an agreement on healthcare and reminded Americans watching that the House has done its job to fulfill the promise of repealing and replacing Obamacare.
"We'd like to see the Senate move on something. We are proud of the bill we passed. We passed a bill to repeal and replace Obamacare and to replace it with a better system. As you well know, the legislative process for it to work, the House has to pass a bill. We've done that. The Senate has to pass a bill for us to even move forward. That's the next step, so we're hoping they can achieve that next step so that we can bring real relief," Ryan said.
But a healthcare stall in the Senate isn't stopping President Trump's agenda in the House. Ryan detailed plans to move onto tax reform in the coming weeks.
