Trump: Disappointed with health bill's failure

>> LET'S LISTEN.
>> MR. PRESIDENT -- ARE YOU --
ANGRY AT THE REPUBLICANS WHO --
DID NOT PASS A HEALTH CARE BILL?
>> DISAPPOINTED.
>> THANK YOU.
>> VERY DISAPPOINTED.
I DON'T THINK IT'S DEAD BUT I'M
CERTAINLY DIT APPOINTED.
FOR SEVEN YEARS I'VE BEEN
HEARING REPLEA AND REPLACE FROM
CONGRESS, HEARING IT LOUD AND
STRONG AND WE FINALLY GET A
CHANCE TO REPEAL AND REPLACE
THEY DON'T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT.
THAT'S DISAPPOINTING.
I WOULD SAY I'M DISAPPOINTED IN
WHAT TOOK PLACE.
IT WILL GO ON AND WE'LL WHIP.
WE'RE GOING TO WIN ON TAXES.
WE'RE GOING TO WIN ON
INFRASTRUCTURE AND LOTS OF OTHER
THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING.
WE'VE WON AND ARE WINNING THE
WAR AS YOU KNOW ON THE BORDER.
WE'RE VERY MUCH DECIMATING ISIS.
YOU CAN SEE THAT.
YOU SEE THAT BETTER THAN ANYBODY
SEES IT.
THE SOLDIERS THAT ARE WITH US
TODAY.
WE'VE HAD A LOT OF VICTORIES BUT
HAVEN'T HAD A VICTORY IN HEALTH
CARE.
WE'RE DISAPPOINTED.
I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED, BECAUSE,
AGAIN, EVEN AS A CIVILIAN FOR
SEVEN YEARS I'VE BEEN HEARING
ABOUT HEALTH CARE.
AND I'VE BEEN HEARING ABOUT
REPEAL AND REPLACE.
AND OBAMACARE IS A TOTAL
DISASTER.
SOME STATES HAD OVER 200%
INCREASE.
200% INCREASE IN THEIR PREMIUMS.
AND THEY'RE DEDUCTIBLES ARE
THROUGH THE ROOF.
IT'S AN ABSOLUTE DISASTER.
AND I THINK YOU'LL ALSO -- AGREE
THAT I'VE BEEN SAYING FOR A LONG
TIME, LET OBAMACARE FAIL, AND
THEN EVERYBODY'S GOING TO HAVE
TO COME TOGETHER AND FIX IT.
AND -- COME UP WITH A NEW PLAN
AND A PLAN THAT'S REALLY GOOD
FOR THE PEOPLE WITH MUCH LOWER
PREMIUMS, MUCH LOWER COSTS
AND MUCH BETTER PROTECTION.
I'VE BEEN SAYING THAT.
MIKE, I THINK YOU'LL AGREE FOR A
LONG TIME.
LET OBAMACARE FAIL.
IT WILL BE A LOT EASIER, AND I
THINK WE'RE PROBABLY IN THAT
POSITION WHERE WE'LL JUST LET
OBAMACARE FAIL.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO OWN IT.
I'M NOT GOING TO OWN IT.
I CAN TELL YOU THE REPUBLICANS
ARE NOT GOING TO OWN IT'SWE'LL
LET OBAMACARE FAIL AND THEN
DEMOCRATS WILL COME TO US AND
SAY, HOW DO E WE FIX IT?
OR COME UP WITH A NEW PLAN?
WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
THERE'S OTHER THINGS GOING ON
RIGHT NOW AS WE SPEAK.
BUT I AM DISAPPOINTED, BECAUSE
FOR SO MANY YEARS I'VE BEEN
HEARING REPEAL AND REPLACE.
I'M SITTING IN THE OVAL OFFICE
RIGHT NEXT DOOR, PEN IN HAND,
WAITING TO SIGN SOMETHING.
AND I'LL BE WAITING.
AND EVENTUALLY WE'RE GOING TO
GET SOMETHING DONE AND IT'S
GOING TO BE VERY GOOD, BUT
OBAMACARE'S A BIG FAILURE.
AND IT HAS TO BE CHANGED.
WE HAVE TO GO TO A PLAN THAT
WORKS.
WE HAVE TO GO TO A MUCH LESS
EXPENSIVE PLAN IN TERMS OF
PREMIUMS.
AND SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN AND IT
WILL BE HAVE GOOD.
MAY NOT BE AS QUICK AS WE'D
HOPED BUT IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
OKAY?
>> [ INAUDIBLE ].
>> WELL, THEY WERE NOT DISLOYAL.
THEY HAD THEIR OWN REASONS.
VERY SURPRISED WHEN THE TWO
FOLKS CAME OUT LAST NIGHT
BECAUSE WE THOUGHT THEY WERE IN
FAIRLY GOOD SHAPE, BUT THEY DID.
AND EVERYBODY HAS THEIR OWN
REASON.
BUT IF YOU REALLY THINK ABOUT
IT, YOU LOOK AT IT AND WE HAVE
52 PEOPLE.
WE HAD NO DEMOCRAT SUPPORT.
WHICH IS REALLY, YOU KNOW,
SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE SAID.
WE SHOULD HAVE HAD DEMOCRAT
VOTE, A GREAT PLAN FOR A LOT OF
PEOPLE.
WE HAD NO DEMOCRAT SUPPORT.
WE ARE 52 PEOPLE.
WE HAD 4 NOs.
NOW, WE MIGHT HAVE HAD ANOTHER
ONE IN THERE.
ESSENTIALLY THE VOTE PRETTY
CLOSE TO, IF YOU LOOK AT IT,
48-4.
THAT'S A PRETTY IMPRESSIVE VOTE,
BY ANY STANDARD.
AND YET YOU HAVE A VOTE OF 48-4
OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, AND YOU
NEED MORE.
THAT'S PRETTY TOUGH.
SO THE WAY I LOOK AT IT IS, IN
'18 WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GET
MORE PEOPLE ELECTED.
WE HAVE TO GO OUT AND WE HAVE TO
GET MORE PEOPLE ELECTED THAT ARE
REPUBLICAN.
AND WE HAVE TO PROBABLY PULL IN
THOSE PEOPLE, THOSE FEW PEOPLE
THAT VOTED AGAINST IT.
I DON'T KNOW.
THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO EXPLAIN
WHY THEY DID AND I'M SURE HAVE
VERY FINE REASONS BUT WE HAVE TO
GET MORE REPUBLICANS ELECTED,
BECAUSE WE HAVE TO GET IT DONE.
GOT IT PASSED IN THE HOUSE.
WOULD HAVE GOTTEN IT VERY
MUCH -- CAN'T USE HIS HEAD AS A
STAND?
RIGHT?
DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN.
YOU'RE MESSING WITH THE WRONG
GUY HERE.
SO WE WANT -- WE WANT -- I THINK
WE'RE GOING TO DO VERY WELL,
ACTUALLY IN '18.
I WOULD BE NOT SURPRISED IF
SOMETHING WERE DONE LONG BEFORE
THEN, BUT IN ANY EVENT, BECAUSE
THE MARGIN IS SO SMALL, THE
MAJORITY MARGIN IS SO SMALL WE
HAVE TO GO OUT AND GET MORE
REPUBLICANS ELECTED IN '18 AND
I'LL BE WORKING VERY HARD FOR
THAT TO HAPPEN.
OKAY?
IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE
DEMOCRAT SUPPORT BUT REALLY
THEY'RE OBSTRUCTIONISTS.
THEY HAVE NO IDEAS.
THEY HAVE NO THOUGHT PROCESS,
ALL THEY WANT TO DO IS OBSTRUCT
GOVERNMENT AND OBSTRUCT, PERIOD.
AND IN THIS CASE, THINK OF IT.
SO MANY GOOD THINGS WE DIDN'T
GET ONE VOTE AND THEIR PLAN HAS
FAILED.
BY THE WAY, OBAMACARE ISN'T
FAILING.
IT'S FAILED.
IT'S GONE.
SO -- I THINK SOMETHING'S GOING
TO
