Trump came up with healthcare bill 1. They said no.
Then healthcare bill 2. They said no again.
Then Trump basically said, F-it you guys figure it out. McConnell, find the simplest, easiest loophole in the system to get the ball rolling down the hill.
I don't think Trump really cares about healthcare but this is the GOPs baby so he'll sign anything they come up with. They couldn't even do that!

This is why a LOT of it falls on Trump.
He ran with a campaign saying he would repeal an replace it with something better. He didn't.
And with all due respect, Trump could not figure out the difference between Trumpcare and Obamacare if he had an earpiece with his aides telling him what it was.
He has no idea of what is in these bills. None!
Obama, whether you liked him on not, was actually a very bright guy and had 2hr press conferences where he would answer questions on the ACA plan... Trump? good lord, he's as ignorant as they come when it comes to knowing actual policy.
This is on Trump because he's the President and
he could not rally his own party using the bully pulpit to vote for their own damn bill.
