FILE - In this July 24, 2017 file photo, President Donald Trump speaks during an event about healthcare in the Blue Room of the White House in Washington. Republicans have been unable to advance a health care bill in Congress, so what's next? President Donald Trump's administration now may find itself in an awkward role as caretaker of the Affordable Care Act, a law that he's still promising to repeal and replace. The Constitution says presidents "shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed." That doesn't seem to leave much choice for Trump, even if he considers the law to be "a disaster." Democrats say they fear "sabotage." (AP Photo/Alex Brandon, File)

FILE - In this Aug. 24, 2016 file photo, Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, D-Paramount, addresses the the Assembly in Sacramento, Calif. A recall effort against Rendon, a strong progressive now targeted by party activists upset that he derailed a bill seeking government-funded health care for all. Rendon said he supports single-payer health care in concept, but SB562 was "woefully incomplete." The measure lacked key details about how a single-payer system would function, including a plan to raise the estimated $400 billion it would cost. (AP Photo/Rich Pedroncelli, File)
