President Obama to Congressional Democrats: ‘Don’t Rescue’ Republicans on ‘Trumpcare’

Washington (CNN)President Barack Obama delivered a mandate to Democrats on Wednesday: "Don't rescue" Republicans on Obamacare.

Less than three weeks out from leaving the White House, Obama visited Democratic lawmakers on Capitol Hill with a mission to save his signature healthcare reform law as Republicans are moving quickly to unroll the Affordable Care Act.

In the closed-door meeting, the President urged fellow Democrats to not "rescue" Republicans by helping them pass replacement measures, according to sources in the room.

He also floated this idea: Start referring to the GOP's new plan as "Trumpcare."

The suggestion was a clear indication of the Democratic Party's goal of turning the tables on Republicans, who are already facing pressure to quickly craft a replacement bill.

As he walked by a scrum of reporters, Obama would only say this about the Democratic Party's message: "Look out for the American people."

1. "Trumpcare" Excellent! Good name to call his garbage! n/t

[MineralMan]

2. Better to call it "TrumpDon'tCare"

That's closer to reality.

9. Dump-Your-Care

28. DumpCare

[lastlib]

44. Since 2010, I've been calling their "plan" GOPDon'tCare.........

They don't really have a plan, and their plan is not to have a plan..... Ever since Boehner put 70-some blank pages together and put a pretty, official-looking congressional cover on it, it's been clear that They. Don't. Want to. Change. the System we had. That's because they are OWNED by the insurance companies, which stood to lose BIG if their golden goose was killed.

[Nitram]

50. lastlib, you're right, but does the GOP leadership want to risk the consequences of dumping

Obamacare without a replacement prepared? They care about re-election. That's why they kow-towed to the t-Party

[DK504]

51. Insurance companies are shooting themselves in the foot

They are receiving more money than before the ACA. The government is paying them to insure people. The lie they aren't making money is bullshit. Then of course these guys are idiots.

[JustAnotherGen]

3. He's going to have a far more important role

Than anyone who is a pretender to the role of the leader of the Democratic Party. I know folks think otherwise but face facts . . . . the MAN is a WINNER!

[brer cat]

37. He IS the leader of the Party

and his judgment, knowledge, and demeanor will be vital to us going forward. The Bear on the loose will be a thorn in trump's ass like no one else.

[Cha]

4. "Look out for the American people."

Thank you, President Obama!

mahalo, bigtree~

[sheshe2]

39. I love his quote Cha.

[Cha]

45. Thanks, Obama: U.S. Auto Sales Hit Record High For Second Straight Year

2016 marks the seventh straight year of gains for an industry that was on the verge of collapse when Obama took office.

[cstanleytech]

24. Limited time as in a 10-44 second. LOL

[vi5]

7. Perfect timing!

We sure did give that "Reach across the aisle" thing a good solid 8 years, but....well doesn't seem to be working so......maybe time for some course correction.

[disillusioned73]

31. lol.. good one..

[SammyWinstonJack]

42. HA!

[lark]

8. Trumpcare, good suggestion.

It sounds menacing and horrible, which will be a kind description for the nightmare they're about to foist on us.

[Jughead]

10. Trumpcare

Trumpcare works like Trump. You get your last medical bill for 5K...you call the hospital and tell them you paid enough and your done paying.

The Tump business move!

[treestar]

26. LOL!

Everyone ought to do that with everything. LOL.

[DFW]

11. But Trump does NOT care

I'd use TRUMPSCARE instead.

[tblue37]

12. Like Dump Care! nt

[flying-skeleton]

13. Correction - TrumpScare !!

[TygrBright]

14. THIS. LISTEN TO THE PRESIDENT. HE'S GOT IT ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. n/t

[Saywhat]

15. Better not hear about any Democrat working with the Republicans on this!

[Hell Hath No Fury]

17. Trust me, there will be a few.

Joe Manchin (WV) just stepped up to help the GOP on the ACA. He won't be the last.

[radical noodle]

19. He will want to make sure black lung is covered

in any new plan. His constituents will require it.

[barbtries]

16. he's a savvy guy.

the people are all that can possibly save the country at this point.

[bdamomma]

18. hey

wasn't it bush who said you can go to Emergency rooms??? these freaking billionaires do not give a shit about the American people, keep pushing and see what is going to happen if they keep on pushing Americans hopefully we won't sit back.

[elmac]

20. They best do what the president said

or their party will go extinct.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

21. Jimmy Crack Corn, and Trump Don't Care

Too many people beat me to the new names.

[DeminPennswoods]

23. Steven Brill said last night on MSNBC

that the GOP has no replacement plan because Obamacare IS their plan as it was adopted from the one crafted by the Heritage Foundation, the GOP's very own rw think tank.

[treestar]

27. Yes in fact we get it criticized from the left for this.

And why are Republicans against that same plan now? Merely because Obama got it passed. All they care about is who gets credit. Republicans are pathetic. If they repeal and replace it with the same thing we should still call it Obamacare.

[uponit7771]

25. THEY WILL BLAME OBAMA ANYWAY !!! The M$M will help them

[babylonsister]

29. I don't know about trumpcare; I think he would relish that,

so I hope no one does anything to give him credit, AGAIN, for something he never did.

[gwheezie]

30. Trumpdontcare plan

A voucher for "my pillow" that cures everything

[MurrayDelph]

32. "Trump care" aka

[Crash2Parties]

43. Excellent strategist. Now if only the party would listen...

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

48. Trumpcare

#MakeAmericaSickAgain

[YOHABLO]

49. Trumpcare will be ''self insured care'' i.e. Health Savings Accounts.

That means if you've save up $150,000 or so you can now have that heart surgery to save your life. Get it?

[harun]

52. Senate Dem's need to say "No" to every single piece of legislation thrown their way.

Elections have consequences, both ways.

[zentrum]

53. 3rd way democrats

......can't help themselves. They will always appease.

Will be so happy to eat my hat if it turns out to not be so in this case.
