'The Democrats want to shut government if we dont bail out Puerto Rico and give billions to their insurance companies for OCare failure,' Trump wrote on Twitter.
The new enthusiasm stems from an amendment that would give states the authority to apply for waivers from some of Obamacares requirements under certain conditions.
President Trump took to Twitter to tout the new plan: 'Our wonderful new Healthcare Bill is now out for review and negotiation. ObamaCare is a complete and total disaster - is imploding fast!'
Faced with a boycott from Democrats just yesterday, Tom Price and Steven Mnuchin are confirmed after the Senate Finance Committee moved to approve both with only Republicans participating.
President Trump nominated Neil Gorsuch, a Colorado judge, to fill Scalia's spot on the Supreme Court. Mitch McConnell says Gorsuch will be confirmed, but it will be a battle as Democrats try to halt Gorsuch's appointment.
A former doctor and Republican senator plans to introduce an updated version of his health-care plan aimed at giving states flexibility to keep the ACA, nix it entirely or transition to a new system of HSAs and automatic health plan enrollment.
While Trump talks of action with the speed of a tweet, things have a way of slowing down on Capitol Hill, even when party leaders and the president are on the same page.
Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, who becomes minority leader in January, said Tuesday that Democrats could block Price if a few Republicans join them.
