The Trump presidency has been filled with constant controversy, and the latest uproar from the Democratic party comes from the new GOP healthcare bill. Since the beginning of President Trump’s presidential campaign, the president promised to “repeal & replace” Obamacare. Many Democrats, along with some Republicans, are worried that the new healthcare bill is falling short of that Trump’s campaign promise.
Many prominent leaders within the Democratic party including Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, have outwardly bashed the new healthcare bill. In a recent tweet, Wasserman Schultz said, “Republicans are once again working in secret to revive their “health care” bill. Our only choice is to stand up longer and speak out louder.”A link to Congresswoman Wasserman Schultz’s tweet can be found here –

Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
An overlying fear that many members of the Democratic party share is that Obama’s past legislation and legacy will be forgotten and replaced with a new mentality brought about from the new Trump administration. The very thought of that has Republicans ecstatic and Democrats shaking in their seats.
Rep. Wasserman Schultz later quoted a tweet from CNN saying that Trump has a “big surprise” coming up re healthcare.” She replied to that tweet by saying, “A “big surprise” is what a salesman offers when he has absolutely nothing to offer.” She along with the vast majority of prominent members of the Democratic are not only quick to judge any action taken by President Trump, but will outwardly bash any executive action taken or bill suggested by him.A link to Congresswoman Wasserman Schultz’s tweet can be found here-

Regardless of one’s political affiliation, I do believe that we all need to let the Senate do the best job they can and trust that they have the American people’s best interest in mind while crafting the new healthcare bill. We gave Obamacare a shot and the least we can do now is give the Trump administration a chance to craft a bill that can benefit America as a whole.
