He passed what he could, are you aware that he doesnt just get to wave a magical wand and that there is something called the congress? You should look in to thast. You can google it right now to see what it is. Give it a try, its easy to do!

The Republicans, when asked for a viable alternative could not even give a cohherent idea (kind of like when asked for specific tax cut proposals while on the campaign trail!). All they could do was howl and neuter the bill. Which is all that they can do anymore.
