I kind of feel sorry for Pres. Trump. Ryan will use Trump's lack of knowledge to bull doze through whatever he can and Pres. Trump will have no idea about what is going on until he gets blamed for it.
He needs to find a couple moderate Republicans that he can trust to explain the ramifications of the bills before he signs them. Oh where, oh where, is Olympia Snowe. But that's wishful thinking, she didn't support Trump.

I am fairly certain that Trump has never had to deal with health insurance, as either a user of it or as an employer dealing with insurance companies and health plans. Other people in his companies handled that stuff.

So yes, Donald, health insurance and the health care system are complicated. And has only become more complicated. And most of us are well aware of it. Good luck trying to fix it without harming millions of people in the process.

I believe Trump has Newt Gingrich as a resource if needed and probably several others

He has been all over the place on healthcare. I have no idea what he would come up with.

Yeah seriously. As others have said, I suspect it's because he never really had to personally deal with the mess we have to deal with. And now with Obama care it's even worse. He was a rich man, who had others deal with insurance for his employees and companies and any medical stuff, he could just pay out of his own pocket. The rest of us have to deal with all the complications.
