    Trump promised that he would "immediately" repeal and replace "ObamaCare" with "something terrific!" that would cover "everybody!"

    Not as soon as he had release his tax returns. Not as soon as he had built his "big, beautiful wall!"

    "Immediately!"


    Over eight months into our national ordeal, with his approval numbers among Americans consistently lower than Rex Tillerson's IQ, he has contrived a scheme to uninsure millions and destabilize the insurance market so to raise premiums for others.

    Incredible as it may seem, there are mindless lickspittles incapable of distinguishing between the vapid hype and the stark reality.

    That merits Trump®U honorary degrees at the very least.

    Calm down, beside this being the 4th thread this morning concerning this topic, this will not start for a minimum of a year and a half, reported by Rand Paul this morning!

    Sabotage Obamacare is more like it, just as he has done with nearly everything, he grandstands a meaningless photo op Executive Order and then passes the real decision on to Congress

    Setting aside that it will also be challenged in the courts, why should it happen at all?

    Trump's actions expose another major problem with ACA. It gives the executive too much authority. Your bad.

    Thank the Lord... I'm sick of paying for everyone else's insurance and not being able to afford my own. Fantastic move, and immediately impacts the middle class, positively. Fortunately we outnumber those on subsidies and this will be a great move for us.

    All Republicans want is a warm body with enough fingers to sign these executive orders, even if by a nutcase president.
    Remember when the GOP howled and screeched and called Obama an emperor, if he even touched an executive order?
    So, maybe now many of Donnie's rubes and cult members will realize the mistake they've made, and they just lost their
    health insurance.

    Actually, I'd rather just be able to cover my family instead everyone else's. I wouldn't care what president makes that happen, I'd be appreciative either way. Knock that partisan chip off your shoulder. Apparently you're on subsidies and this ****s you.

    THIS....This is why the right constantly amazes me. You refuse to understand the most basic concepts of how healthcare in this country works.

    You will pay for them thru higher premiums weather they have insurance or not. You will now pay for them thru higher costs when they don't pay their bills and the providers pass that cost on to you.

    Your side sabotages it, and then you blame Obamacare for the problem. its STUNNING to watch.

    This is all part of the GOP credence that the poor deserve their fate in America. They can die early.
    The GOP Death Panel strikes again.

    Trump promised that he would "immediately" repeal and replace "ObamaCare" with "something terrific!" that would cover "everybody!"

    What he is actually doing is, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO)is increasing the number of uninsured Americans as he destabilizes the market and, consequently, increasing premiums.

    For inexplicable reasons, some are incapable of discerning the difference.

    Why would Donnie's rubes think a billionaire psychopath would help them with health care?
    Because they're rubes, that's why.
