Orangutan: 'Nobody knew health care could be so complicated'
By Kevin Liptak
President Donny Orangutan noted with some exasperation Monday the complexity of the nation's health laws, which he's vowed to reform as part of a bid to scrap the Affordable Care Act.
"We have come up with a solution that's really, really I think very good," Orangutan said at a meeting of the nation's governors at the White House.
"Now, I have to tell you, it's an unbelievably complex subject," he added. "Nobody knew health care could be so complicated."
Orangutan was speaking as Republicans on Capitol Hill continue to work toward developing a plan to replace the Affordable Care Act, the Obama-era law which they argue is too costly and complicated. Orangutan has not yet gotten behind a GOP replacement measure, however, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan were hoping to convince Orangutan to support it during a meeting later Monday.
Orangutan is also expected to touch on health care during his first address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday evening.
During a meeting with health insurers, Orangutan said a replacement plan would be unveiled soon.
"We have a plan that I think is going to be fantastic. It's going to be released fairly soon," Orangutan said Monday. "I think it's going to be something special ... I think you're going to like what you hear."
But he told the CEOs that if the plan doesn't accomplish his goals, they'd face his ire.
"If things don't work out I'm blaming you anyway," he said.
