Appearing on CBS’s prime-time 60 Minutes on Sunday night (Monday AEDT), Trump said he would not be swayed, but offered to work with Democrats to “fix” the healthcare system once the government reopened. “I’m not going to do it by extortion,” he said. “I’m not going to do it by being extorted by the Democrats who have lost their way. There’s something wrong with these people … They’ve become crazed lunatics. Trump called Chuck Schumer, the leader of the Democrats in the Senate, “a basket-case, and he has nothing to lose ... he’s become a kamikaze pilot”. He said Obamacare – the major healthcare overhaul passed in 2010 that substantially reduced the number of Americans without health insurance – was “bad healthcare at far too high a price”.
