O’Care nix ‘this week’

‘We’ve got the votes’

The Trump administration is “convinced we’ve got the votes” to repeal and replace ObamaCare this week, White House economic adviser Gary Cohn said on Monday.

“Do we have the votes for health care? I think we do. This is going be a great week,” Cohn said on “CBS This Morning.”

“We’re going to get health care down to the floor of the House. We’re convinced we’ve got the votes and we’re going to keep moving on with our agenda.”

White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus echoed Cohn’s comments on the network moments later.

“I think we will, I think it will happen this week,” he said. “This will be one of the fastest signature pieces of legislation since Roosevelt, I believe.”

But a House source told The Post the 216 minimum votes required are still not there.

The count is “five or six” votes short, mostly moderate Republi- can holdouts and two members of the House Freedom Caucus who are facing intense pressure in their districts, the source said.

“There are a lot of people who are a reluctant yes on this and the second it looks like it’s going down, they could flop,” the source said, predicting a vote Wednesday or Thursday.

“But I do think part of the pitch to members who are reluctant is that this will be changed in the Senate,” the source added. “I think there’s some recognition that it needs to pass this week or it’s going to lose momentum.”

President Trump made repealing and replacing former President Barack Obama’s signature health-care plan a centerpiece of his campaign.

An effort to get the GOPbacked American Health Care Act through the House were ditched in March after Republican leaders couldn’t come up with the necessary votes.

Complicating the matter is that Congress leaves for a one-week recess on Thursday that could drain momentum.
