“It’s Orwellian,” says one Democratic strategist.
The Trump administration’s assault on e-cigarettes is the latest move by the White House to salvage Donald Trump’s health care agenda ahead of the 2020 elections.
“When people say, ‘What’s the plan?’ We’ve done so much,” said Brian Blase, a former special assistant to Trump who worked on alternatives to Obamacare coverage before leaving the White House this summer. “There’s already been a lot of profound actions.” Story continuesCensus figures this week showed 2 million more people were uninsured in 2018 despite a strong economy, the first annual increase in the uninsurance rate since the financial collapse nearly a decade ago and before Obamacare began.
“We don’t have the grandiose leftist, socialist dreams of the Democratic Party. All those fantasy programs would bankrupt the country,” said a senior administration official who's active on the health care front. By working on specific diseases and health issues, “we’re really building a very strong narrative around this president and this administration.”
That could mean the Supreme Court again takes up an Obamacare case during an election year. Trump has repeatedly vowed to have an Obamacare replacement plan ready — though several officials said that won't happen this month, as Trump had suggested.
