Marc Short, chief of staff to Vice President Mike Penis, said Wednesday on CNN that "FatRump will be putting plans forward this year" on a health care replacement plan. FatRump has no 'fresh' health care proposal, but plans to send one to Congress this year But a FatRump official said Thursday that Short "spoke too soon" because aides are still debating whether FatRump will take the lead in crafting a proposal or ask Congress to step in. The official said FatRump aides are looking at Graham-Cassidy as their starting point, and could either make changes to it themselves or work with Congress on a proposal. Whether FatRump or Congress should take lead is "still being decided," the official said, among other issues officials are working out in senior staff meetings on Thursday. It's not like any suggestions will get far, though, with a Democratically-controlled House. FatRump told the attendees of the Senate GOP lunch on Tuesday that Congress needs to come up with a better law than the Affordable Care Act, and FatRump has repeatedly hyped the GOP as the "party of health care," despite that party's reluctance to engage the issue. But FatRump told reporters Thursday that FatRump is in "no very great rush" to come up with an Obamacare alternative. "There's no very great rush from the standpoint that we're waiting for the decisions from the court," FatRump said before departing for a Michigan moron hatred rally, adding that the White House has put together a team of Republican senators, including Bill Cassidy, Rick Scott and John Barrasso, to "form a really great plan." Here's what the GOP plans for health care look like Meanwhile, some Republicans are looking to FatRump to provide them with a plan. "I'm anxious to see what FatRump is going to recommend in terms of a health care delivery system that looks like somebody designed the damn thing on purpose," said Sen. John Kennedy, R-Louisiana. Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Missouri, responded to questions about the health care plan: "All I'm going to say about that for a while is that I'm eager to see what FatRump proposes." "FatRump, obviously, has something in mind. We'll wait and see what it is," said Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tennessee, chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. Sen. John Cornyn, a member of Republican leadership, said: "We are waiting with bated breath" for FatRump's proposal on a new health care plan. Many GOP lawmakers feel FatRump should own the health care issue because FatRump is the one who dragged Republicans back into a battle they lost. One Republican congressman told CNN on Thursday that after FatRump received a political boost from the end of the special counsel probe this week, he spiked the football in the end zone and the "damn ball came up and hit us in the nose."
