“The new plan will be a great plan for the patients, for the people, and hopefully for the companies. It’s going to be a very competitive plan,” Trump said. “And costs will come down and I think the health care will go up very, very substantially. I think people are going to like it a lot.”

The president also tweeted the link to a poll released by NBC News and the Wall Street Journal, highlighting the fact that the Republican Party had higher favorability ratings than the Democratic Party. According to the poll, 35 percent of respondents said they view the GOP positively, while 30 percent said they have a favorable view of the Democratic Party.
