President Donald Trump walks with National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster on the South Lawn of the White House on Friday. Trump recently told Republican senators that the health care bill passed in the House is “mean” and urged them to craft a "more generous" version.Re: June 14 news story.
Donald Trump now calls the health care bill passed by the House of Representatives “mean, mean, mean.” It is reported by The Associated Press that he wants the Senate bill to add more money to make it “more generous, more kind.”
So, why did Colorado Republican Reps. Scott Tipton, Ken Buck and Doug Lamborn vote for such a mean bill? And, why did Rep. Mike Coffman voice support for the original version of the House bill, which, per President Trump, would have been even meaner?
Coffman ran under the assertion that he would “stand up to Trump.” It appears that Trump is now standing up to Coffman.
