Washington Post 'thanks' Trump for 3M more uninsured under his watch
BY JULIA MANCHESTER - 01/18/18 09:25 AM EST
The Washington Post's editorial board ripped into President Trump on Thursday, blaming him for 3 million more people losing health insurance during his time in office.
The Post points to the "hostile steps" taken by the administration and Republicans to dismantle ObamaCare, including the president's "negative rhetoric and rules changes," that could have prevented Americans from enrolling, the shortening of the ObamaCare enrollment period and the repeal of the individual mandate.
"Obamacare was never perfect, but it was steadily bringing down the share of Americans without health insurance. Why would anyone want to reverse that achievement?" the board asked. Repealing and replacing ObamaCare was one of Trump's biggest campaign promises in 2016.
Senate Republicans, however, failed last year to fulfill their seven-year campaign promise of repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act.
