Trump blames Democrats for GOP health care bill failure, says ObamaCare is 'imploding':

     Ever since the Affordable Care Act was signed into law by President Obama, Republicans have wanted it repealed. Last week the Republicans tried to get rid of and replace ObamaCare. Originally, Congress was scheduled to vote on Thursday on the ObamaCare replacement, but this vote was postponed until Friday. On Friday, Republicans pulled the bill because they knew they didn't have enough votes to pass. President Trump blamed the Democrats because not one Democratic Congressman would have voted to pass the bill. This article provides more information regarding the postponed vote, but this is an overview of the article.

      I believe that it is not fair for the Democrats to be solely blamed for this, but I also do not believe that it is right for none of the Democrats to vote on the bill simply because it was passed by President Obama. It would be helpful to understand more about the Affordable Care Act, and its pros and cons, to better understand the rationale by both parties.  I chose this article to highlight one of the many disagreements between the two political parties. Because I wanted to focus on a newer report with current news. I found several articles about this topic, but I preferred this Fox News article over the other sources that I found.
