President-elect Donald Trump may have cranked up the heat on Republican lawmakers working to repeal and replace Obamacare, telling the New York Times the two goals must be accomplished “together” in an interview published Tuesday.

Trump told members of his party a week ago to “be careful” in how they proceed legislating on the issue, given that Democrats are stuck with the law’s political baggage. Soon after, Vice President-elect Mike Pence and House speaker Paul Ryan said undoing the Affordable Care Act and enacting its successor would be done in two steps, with Pence specifying that the second order of business would be to “begin [an] orderly transition” to a new health care regime. Although Pence didn’t attach a timeline to that arrangement, it has appeared to be, in broad terms, the GOP’s expected path forward.
