前共和党众议员拉里·布克森（印第安纳州）和前卫生总监杰罗姆·亚当斯都认为，特朗普总统可能会暂缓否决由民主党控制的国会通过的两党医疗保健法案。两人周二表示，特朗普“交易式”的行事风格以及任期的最后两年可能会影响他的决定。
Former Republican Rep. Larry Bucshon (Ind.) and former Surgeon General Jerome Adams both believe President Trump may hold off on vetoing any bipartisan healthcare legislation passed by a Democratic-controlled Congress, saying on Tuesday that Trump’s “transactional” nature and the final two years of his time in office could sway his decisions.
在《国会山报》举办的“健康未来峰会”上，布克森和亚当斯都被问及，他们是否认为特朗普会否决送到他桌上的潜在两党医疗保健法案。
At The Hill’s Health Next Summit, both Bucshon and Adams were asked whether they believed Trump would veto potential bipartisan healthcare legislation that lands on his desk.
“我认为他可能会（签署），”布克森在谈到特朗普可能签署此类两党法案的可能性时说。“我认为这位总统历来是交易式的。他现在处于他会视为总统政治遗产的最后两年，尤其是在几个问题上：医疗保健、移民以及其他一些议题。所以，我认为如果你能拿出一份得到美国人民支持的好的两党法案，总统会签署它。”
“I think he might,” said Bucshon of the possibility Trump might sign such bipartisan legislation. “I think that the president historically is transactional. He’s in the last two years of what he’ll consider potential legacy for his presidency, particularly on a couple of issues: healthcare, immigration and a few others. So, I think if you get a good bipartisan legislation that the American people support, the president will sign it.”
特朗普曾威胁说，如果民主党重新控制国会，他将成为“否决先生”。选举之夜，当民主党赢得众议院和参议院控制权变得明朗时，特朗普在Truth Social上发布了一张帽子的照片，上面印着“VETO”（否决）字样。尽管特朗普发出了这些信号，亚当斯仍同意布克森的看法，称他不相信总统会像他暗示的那样轻易行使这一权力。
Trump had threatened he would become “Mr. Veto” if Democrats took back control of Congress. When it became evident on Election Night that Democrats had won both the House and Senate, Trump posted a photo of a hat on Truth Social emblazoned with the word “VETO.”Despite these signals from Trump, Adams agreed with Bucshon, saying he wasn’t convinced the president would exercise this power as readily as he indicated.
亚当斯提到他最近接受哥伦比亚广播公司《60分钟》采访时说，特朗普知道国家对他感到“不满”。
Noting his recent interview with CBS’s “60 Minutes,” Adams said Trump was aware that the country was “frustrated” with him.
“真正的问题是：当前这一届国会能否团结起来，在医疗保健方面提出两党立法？”亚当斯在活动上说。该活动由阿斯利康、医疗保健分销联盟和推进心血管健康伙伴关系赞助。
“The question actually is: Will this current iteration of Congress be able to come together and put forward bipartisan legislation on healthcare?”Adams said at the event, which was sponsored by AstraZeneca, the Healthcare Distribution Alliance and the Partnership to Advance Cardiovascular Health.
“我认为，如果他们能做到；如果民主党人能在内部达成一致。首先，因为民主党内部有两个派系，对医疗保健立法应有的模样持有截然不同的想法，而反过来他们又能带着共和党人一道，真正通过两党立法，我非常有信心，这种立法不被否决的机会很大，因为那将明显是在违背美国人民的意愿，”他补充道。
“I think that if they can; if the Democrats can come together amongst themselves. Number one, because you’ve got two different factions of the Democratic Party who have very different ideas about what healthcare legislation should look like, and in turn they can bring along Republicans, and they actually pass bipartisan legislation, I feel very confident that we have a good chance of it not getting vetoed because it would clearly then be defying the will of the American people,” he added.
