On healthcare deal, Trump says he will not 'enrich' insurance companies

Republican Senator Lamar Alexander, who reached the agreement with Democratic Senator Patty Murray, said earlier that Trump had "completely engineered" the proposal.

"We're going to see the bipartisan and Lamar Alexander's working on it very hard from our side and if something can happen that's fine, but I won't do anything to enrich the insurance companies," Trump told reporters when asked about the deal.

"Right now the insurance companies are being enriched. They've been enriched by Obamacare like nothing anybody's ever seen before," he said.
