Christopher Ruddy is a long time friend and confidant of President Trump. He is the golfing buddy who relayed that Trump was "pi$$ed" about the alleged wire tapping.
Here is his recommendation to what Trump should do on healthcare.
Can you imagine what conservatives would do if he followed this advice?

Here is a game plan for Trump to regain the initiative:
1. Ditch the Freedom Caucus and the handful of Senate Republicans who want a complete repeal of Obamacare. They don't agree with universal coverage and will never be placated.
2. Find a few parts of Ryan Care II that can win passage in the House and Senate with either GOP support or bipartisan support. Declare victory.
3. Rekindle the bipartisanship in Congress that Obama destroyed. Empanel a bipartisan committee to report back by year's end with a feasible plan to fix Obamacare.
4. Reject the phony private health insurance market as the panacea. Look to an upgraded Medicaid system to become the country's blanket insurer for the uninsured.
5. Tie Medicaid funding to states with the requirement each pass legislation to allow for a truly nationwide healthcare market.
6. Get Democrats to agree to modest tort reform to help lower medical costs.
7. While bolstering Medicare and improving Medicaid, get Republicans and Democrats to back the long-term fix of health savings accounts. This allows individuals to fund their own healthcare and even profit from it.
The clock is ticking for Trump's first 100 days.
It's difficult to imagine the House and Senate will soon pass a full Obamacare fix that controls costs while keeping universal coverage.
Trump won the presidency by trusting his own instincts and ignoring the GOP establishment, including its views on healthcare.
Donald Trump staked out the high moral ground by calling for a feasible system of universal healthcare to replace Obamacare.
He shouldn't retreat from that no matter how much the establishment GOP dislikes it.
Universal healthcare from a Republican controlled Congress? We must be in the Twilight zone. Let's hear from you self proclaimed conservatives and Trump voters and explain how expanded medicaid is a conservative ideal?
