Vance described the healthcare system as "broken," claiming it was the Democrats who "broke it," but said the Trump administration still wants to work together if Democrats are "willing to fix it." He touted Trump’s leadership, saying that the president cares more about doing what is right for American families than playing politics.

"People come to the president and say, ‘No, no, no, don't talk about health care. That's a graveyard for Republicans. Republicans always lose on health care,’" Vance said. "And the president's like, ‘I don't care about the politics of it. This system is screwed up for the American people. We need to fix it. So let's go and do it. Politics be damned.’"

Trump has signaled he would not back continuing the subsidies and said in a social media post Tuesday that Congress should not "waste" its time on negotiating an extension.

"THE ONLY HEALTHCARE I WILL SUPPORT OR APPROVE IS SENDING THE MONEY DIRECTLY BACK TO THE PEOPLE," Trump said in the post.
