Trump says he’ll ‘probably’ sign executive order on health care
WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he will return to the health care legislative effort early next year and negotiate with Democrats on the issue, a day after the failure of Republicans' latest attempt to get a health care plan through the Senate.
The Republican president, refusing to admit defeat on one of his primary promises during the 2016 presidential campaign, told reporters at the White House that Republicans will tackle health care again in January or February.
'I will negotiate with Democrats but from the Republican standpoint, we have the votes,” Trump said. He added that he would probably sign an executive order next week to allow people to buy health insurance across state lines.
