House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) confidently said "yes" when asked whether he saw Trump's remarks on health care as an endorsement of the House GOP leadership plan — a proposal panned by conservatives as "Obamacare-lite."
"He said there should be tax credits, he said states should have more flexibility, he says we've got to [deal] with Medicaid and the transition, so what's the Republican plan?" McCarthy said. "He just laid it out." […]
Not so, insisted Rep. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.), a member of the House Freedom Caucus who has crafted a more conservative Obamacare replacement plan with Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.).
"We all hear what we want to hear in life," Sanford said of McCarthy's comments. "What I heard Trump say was something very similar to what Sen. Paul and I introduced. The leader must be hearing something a little different."
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) was equally adamant that Trump did not sign off on the leadership Obamacare proposal.
"No, I did not hear that. I heard repeal and replace, which is what we all campaigned on," Jordan said.
