White House strikes new tone on Obamacare repeal effort

The White House signaled on Monday that President Trump could continue behind-the-scenes negotiations on healthcare, this time with lawmakers from both parties, even as Republicans publicly turn their attention away from Obamacare and to tax reform.

Days after Trump told reporters he will now wait for Obamacare to “collapse” before revisiting healthcare reform, a top spokesman for the administration suggested the president may be open to reviving deliberations on repeal-and-replace legislation.
