President Donald Trump is set to deliver a statement on health care at 3:15 p.m. ET.

Trump's statement will follow his participation "in a greeting with victims of Obamacare," the White House said in a news release.

The president commented on the Republicans' attempt to change the U.S. health care system in a Sunday Twitter post:

It would seem to make sense that the removal of White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer would mean the return of the televised White House Press Briefing with Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

Much has been made of the cancellation of the daily press briefing, particularly from CNN. CNN's Jim Acosta called the move "un-American and dangerous for democracy."

Sean Spicer's resignation as press secretary is adding more fuel to the argument that the Trump administration is growing all the more tumultuous.

At 182 days, Spicer outlasted a few predecessors.

However, each of the 5 men who held the position for less time than Spicer had his term impacted by special circumstances.

Here's the rank and stories behind each short stint:

Two weeks after the 2016 election, the New York Times conducted an interview with the President of the United States. When asked about the issue of climate change, he famously stated, “I’m not sure anybody is ever going to really know.”

"Morning Joe" is in mourning. The deceased is the Republican Party of balanced budgets and international restraint.

MSNBC host and former Congressman Joe Scarborough announced last week that he was leaving the Republican Party.

On July 18, 2017, New Hampshire became the last of the New England states to decriminalize recreational marijuana.

The new law, HB 640, had bipartisan sponsorship and bipartisan support. It will take effect in 60 days. However, the law seems to be confusing, and though it is a baby step toward it, the law does not legalize the possession of marijuana. Federal laws against marijuana are still significant barriers toward opening up marijuana markets.

The Supreme Court of the United States has released its October oral argument calendar. Bloomberg SCOTUS reporter Greg Stohr tweeted the cases that will be heard, which includes the Wisconsin gerrymandering case, Gill v. Whitford:

Senate Republicans threw a curveball into the complicated Obamacare repeal vote. The GOP introduced yet another amendment to their bill to replace the Affordable Care Act.

The new version, posted on a Senate website, removes the so-called Cruz amendment. Authored by Texas Senator Ted Cruz, the amendment would have allowed insurers to sell much-less-generous, and hence less expensive, individual health plans.

If only we had a handful of Centrist Independents in the U.S. Senate right now to be the catalyst for a more constructive debate over real health care reform. Health care does not have to be a hyper-partisan issue; sadly the Republicans and Democrats have turned it into one.

The House veterans affairs committee unanimously approved changes to the Post-9/11 GI Bill Wednesday. It is one of two bills introduced in the last month to better educational benefits to future veterans.
