Murphy said no political party is solely responsible for the healthcare system, but noted that Republicans control the White House and both chambers of Congress.



"Mr. President, no party 'owns' the health care system. But your party controls all of government so its success or failure is up to you," he tweeted.

House GOP leadership on Friday scrapped a vote on the American Health Care Act after it became clear it was headed for failure.

Trump quickly pinned the blame on the Democrats, stating that they will now "own ObamaCare."

“We were very close, it was a very tight margin. We had no Democrat support, no votes from the Democrats,” the president said Friday.

Many Democrats, however, did not seem phased by the president's accusation as they celebrated a political victory with ObamaCare surviving.
