“Freedom Caucus will harm the case of the Republicans, if they quickly begin to work in the common team. In 2018 we have to fight against them and against the Democrats,” trump wrote.
In response, a member of the Freedom Caucus, Congressman from Michigan Justin Amash, compared the actions of trump with the actions of a fifth-grader and alerted him to the fact that the group does not intend to compromise and also advised not to try to intimidate political opponents.
Representatives of the Republican party withdrew a bill to repeal Obamacare March 24. According to trump, the reason was the lack of votes.
The project of Obamacare (Affordable Care Act) was enacted in 2010 with 44th US President Barack Obama and have allowed more than 25 million not previously insured individuals to provide a medical service. However, for those who do not receive subsidies from the state, the cost of insurance has increased. Republicans repeatedly stated that Obamacare is too costly for the budget. The cancellation of this project was one of the campaign promises of Donald trump.
