Trump Meets with Top Republican Lawmakers to Discuss GOP Healthcare Plans
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in the United States, President Trump and top Republican lawmakers
continue their efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.
Multiple past Republican efforts to craft and pass their own healthcare
law have failed. On Tuesday, Trump held a lunch with 13 Republican
senators to discuss the latest effort. He also slammed the Affordable
Care Act while speaking in Wisconsin Tuesday.

President Donald Trump: "These are sad but familiar stories in
Wisconsin, where Obamacare premiums have doubled. Obamacare is one of
the greatest catastrophes that our country has signed into law, and the
victims are innocent, hard-working Americans."
