President Donald Trump may not have as great a grasp on health-care policy as he claims. <\/p>\n
The president \"seemed especially confused\" during a meeting with senators Tuesday when a senator \"complained that opponents of the bill would cast it as a massive tax break for the wealthy,\" The New York Times reported. Trump then said he would address tax reform later, according to the Times, which cited an aide who had a readout of the exchange. <\/p>\n
Trump appeared to dispute the report in a pair of tweets Wednesday morning, alleging that the \"failing\" Times \"writes false story after false story about me.\" <\/p>\n
He added that he knows health care \"well\" and wants \"victory\" for the United States. <\/p>\n
Trump ran on a campaign of repealing and replacing Obamacare, promising on the campaign trail to immediately do so if he won the presidency. He has repeatedly applied pressure on the House and Senate to pass an Obamacare replacement plan, though he has reportedly had less influence on senators than he did on House members. <\/p>\n
