ObamaCare Is ‘Dying’
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer says the administration’s attempts to reform health care are not over, despite President Trump’s threat to House Republicans to “take it or leave it,” and Speaker Ryan’s pronouncement that “ObamaCare is the law of the land.” President Trump says he told Speaker Ryan to pul the TrumpCare bill
Spicer Monday afternoon told reporters, “I don’t think we’ve seen the end of health care” after the TrumpCare bill failed on Friday.

The Obama administration “went through a series of fits and starts,” to pass health care reform, Spicer claimed, mischaracterizing the trek ObamaCare took. He also falsely claimed Democrats “jammed” ObamaCare through. Later, Spice claimed ObamaCare “had a ton of fits and starts.”
Later, asked if ObamaCare repeal is dead, Spicer falsely claimed ObamaCare is “dying.”
“It is an abysmal failure,” Spicer said. It “is dying on its own. It will be dead soon.”
