President Trump spoke with reporters inside the White House Friday morning; saying the GOP is quickly “becoming the party of healthcare” after supporting a new proposal that would end “surprise medical billing” for American patients.
“The Republican Party, I have to say this is really very much becoming the party of health care, you see what we’re doing. We’re determined to end surprise medical billing for American patients and that’s happening right now,” said the Commander-in-Chief.

Trump’s comments come as a high-stakes lawsuit against the Affordable Care Act makes its way through the courts. If upheld, the legal challenge could effectively nullify President Obama’s signature legislative achievement.
