President Donald Trump is inviting congressional Democrats to "call me to fix" America's healthcare system, as he prepares an order ceasing federal subsidy payments to health insurers.

In a pre-dawn post on his Twitter personal account Friday, the president reiterated his oft-stated argument that "Obamacare is imploding."

Addressing Democrats, he tweeted that "massive subsidy payments to their pet insurance companies has stopped. Dems should call me to fix!"

He followed up nearly two hours later with another Twitter blast aimed at Obamacare, calling it "a broken mess.

Since his presidential campaign and nearly nine months in office, Trump has persistently called for getting rid of the 2010 Obama law. His fellow Republicans joined him in that cause, but neither Trump nor the GOP has been able to muster sufficient strength to get the repeal bill through the Senate.
