  • An ex-Rep. Trump was upset after he revealed his stance on the repeal bill.

  • Medicaid cuts were a sticking point in the book American Reboot.

  • He did not endorse theAffordable Care Act while he opposed the GOP bill.

In a new book, former Republican congressman Will Hurd said that President Donald Trump exploded at him after he expressed his opposition to the repeal of theAffordable Care Act.

In his first one-on-one phone conversation with Trump, the then-president sought to rally support for the legislation, according to a former CIA officer who represented Texas in Congress.

The American Health Care Act's $800 billion in Medicaid cuts, which he said would hurt many constituents in his district, was one of the reasons why he spoke with Vice President Mike Pence before his talk with Trump.

The former congressman detailed in "American Reboot" that he was sympathetic to his position and told Pence that he was making the right decision for his district.

Trump was not as understanding of the dynamics of his district as Pence was.

The former congressman stated in his book that the cuts to Medicaid were a sticking point in his assessment of the legislation.

The Medicaid cuts were a major problem for him. One in fifteen people in Texas is covered by Medicaid, which is one of the highest rates in the state.

The AHCA plan failed to include adequate protections for those with pre-existing conditions, which is a big concern in a district with a high percentage of chronic health conditions.

Before launching into a campaign for the bill, the president told him that he had a beautiful voice.

According to the book, Trump said that they had been talking about healthcare for a long time. A big win. We would love your support.

He told Trump that he would like to be there on the bill, but he couldn't do it in its current form.

The former congressman wrote that the president exploded when he hadn't been briefed on his concerns.

Trump said that the Republicans were wrong because they had been talking about it for four years.

Trump claimed that he had won the district, which includes more miles of the US-Mexico border than any other congressional district in the country.

I won your district, which was incorrect, he said. Hillary Clinton carried it in the presidential election.

Mr. President lost my district by three points.

Trump said that he did better than anyone thought.

Representatives for Trump did not reply immediately.

The bill was opposed on the House floor. The full repeal of the health care law never took place despite the legislation passing by a slender margin in the House.

Theskinny repeal bill was defeated in the upper chamber after John McCain voted against it.

The 2010 law didn't adequately tackle health care and the issues with the GOP legislation weren't based in an endorsement of theAffordable Care Act.

President Obama's signature initiative failed to fix the root problems with our healthcare system.

While its Medicaid expansion helped some adults who fell into the coverage gap within their state because they had incomes above their state's eligibility for Medicaid but below poverty, it led to expensive and confusing insurance coverage for American families while adding regulations at the expense of small families.
