WH officials have reservations about health care bill: report

But they dare not say so in front of Cheetolini.

The White House officials have privately expressed reservations about Senate Republicans' latest effort to repeal and replace parts of the Affordable Care Act, despite President Trump's public enthusiasm for the measure.

Politico reported Friday that people in the White House worry whether the effort led by Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Bill Cassidy (R-La.) can pass the Senate or the House.

What's more, one official told Politico that "we really aren't sure what the impact" of the measure would be.

In public, Trump has sought to rally support for the Graham-Cassidy proposal, casting it is a new opportunity for Republicans to reform health care after their last attempt failed in the Senate in July.

Maybe the "officials" are realizing they will loose their cushy jobs because the house of cards is crashing down around them.

Maybe these idiots could have backroom chats with the Rethug Senators about this.
