White House Sends Mixed Signals on Future Healthcare Plans
----------------------------------------------------------

The White House sent mixed signals Wednesday about whether President
Trump will try again to revamp the nation's healthcare system, following
the collapse last week of a House bill that would have repealed parts of
the Affordable Care Act. This is President Trump speaking Tuesday
evening at the White House.

President Donald Trump: "I know that we're all going to make a deal on
healthcare. That's such an easy one. So I have no doubt that that's
going to happen very quickly. I think it will, actually. I think it's
going to happen, because we've all been promising-Democrat,
Republican-we've all been promising that to the American people."

On Wednesday, Press Secretary Sean Spicer said President Trump was
joking when he made those remarks, adding that another effort at passing
healthcare legislation remains an "ongoing discussion."
