Dominicans in NYC happy with Trump’s health care debacle

Santo Domingo.- As four more Republican senators on Tuesday said they oppose president Donald Trump’s health plan to repeal and replace Obamacare, Dominicans living in  New York City couldn’t be happier because Congress won’t pass it.

Each senator counts in particular because Republicans only have 52 senators and to pass any law they need at least 50 votes.

But with these four senators (Mike Lee, Utah; Jerry Moran, Kansas; Susan Collins, Maine and Rand Paul, Kentucky) opposing it, it’s impossible for the law to even advance toward debate, much less for a vote or to pass it.
