Pence: Healthcare fight ‘ain’t over’

Vice President Mike Pence on Saturday said the fight to repeal Obamacare is not over, following Congress’ failure to reach a deal on a bill to repeal and replace the healthcare law.

“It ain’t over yet,” he said, speaking from a factory in Ohio. “The president and I have faith … that Congress will step up and do the right thing.”

He was in Ohio to offer support to Rep. Pat Tiberi, R-Ohio, who he praised as a champion for President Trump’s plan to repeal and replace the previous administration’s struggling healthcare policy. He made the remarks at a factory in Tiberi’s district outside of the Ohio capital of Columbus.

“Even as we speak I am told members of Congress are forging ahead to craft legislation that will usher in the end of Obamacare,” he said.

“When Congress finally decides to repeal and replace Obamacare, President Trump and I will be ready.”
