With passage of the House GOP plane to repeal and replace Obamacare in doubt, President Trump is meeting with . . . Zeke Emanuel, architect of Obamacare and brother of Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel?!
From Bloomberg’s Sahil Kapur:
Trump is scheduled to hold a meeting tomorrow with Paul Ryan, Tom Price and Zeke Emanuel, per WH.
Emanuel is an Obamacare architect.

FWIW, Emanuel is on the record as saying that Obamacare is just fine:
Obamacare architect Zeke Emanuel told @NPRinskeep the idea that the ACA "is falling apart is a misnomer." https://t.co/gUNeeoDsQ4 pic.twitter.com/QQSfUi5aKq

Maybe Ryan and Trump are going to ask for advice on how to make sure every American has health insurance?
WALLACE: Should every American be able to get health insurance?
RYAN: "Yes, I do believe this is a critical need for Americans."
