Pretty startling headlines and story here from the Washington Post:

A divided White House still offers little guidance on replacing Obamacare

Highlights from the article – I call it the “Kasich Effect:”

A meeting on Friday afternoon (February 24^th) between President Trump and Ohio GOP Gov. John Kasich (one of his former rivals in the GOP primaries) had no set agenda. But Kasich came armed with one anyway: His hope to blunt drastic changes to the nation’s health-care system envisioned by some conservatives in Washington.

Over the next 45 minutes, according to Kasich and others briefed on the session, the governor made his pitch while the president eagerly called in several top aides and then got HHS Secretary Price on the phone.

At one point, senior adviser Jared Kushner reminded his father-in-law that House Republicans are sketching out a different approach to providing access to coverage than what Kasich outlined: “Well, I like this better,” Trump replied, according to a Kasich adviser.

The freewheeling session, which concluded with the president instructing Price and Chief of Staff Reince Priebus to meet with Kasich the next day, underscores the un­or­tho­dox way the White House is proceeding as Republicans work to dismantle the ACA and try to replace it with something else.

The day after Kasich delivered his impromptu tutorial, Trump spent lunch discussing the same topic with two other GOP governors with a very different vision — Scott Walker (WI) and Rick Scott (FL).
