President Trump attacked ObamaCare on Thursday night, calling the healthcare law a “disaster” and vowing to repeal and replace the law after the GOP passes tax reform.

ObamaCare premiums have risen after Trump ended key subsidies to insurers that helped to cover costs for low-income Americans.

Trump’s promise to repeal ObamaCare comes as enrollment in the healthcare law has unexpectedly surged since the start of the open enrollment period.

Nearly 2.3 million people signed up for coverage through ObamaCare exchanges during the first 18 days of the open enrollment period — outpacing the rate of enrollment that took place during the same time period under former President Obama.

1. How About This

Fix healthcare BEFORE tax cuts. If you do well with that, move on to raiding the treasury for your kids and golf partners.

Why is it always tax cuts FIRST, then benefits like jobs?

11. I call it Hellcare.

My premiums went up 30% which is about 40% of my income going toward health bills. The GOP wants to see us bankrupt or dead...or better yet BOTH! They are the real SICKOS....their goal is genocide.

10. Too bad we don't have any smart Dems

Who could stand up and loudly refute Trump's constant lies about the ACA. All we hear is one side.

12. The tax cut for the ruling class kills the mandates

One of the cornerstones of the program were the mandates. Those are eliminated with the upcoming wealth redistribution being called "tax reform" by the ruling class and their corporate media spokespeople. So yeah, they are drowning it in the bathtub with no desire at all to replace it.

Peace

13. no, mr. Trump, i think you own it now

you burn it down, you can deal with the fire department. maybe some of your base, not many but some, will remember you did this to them or their relatives should they have the choice of voting for you in the future.

14. Trump is a wimp. If he were a brave man, he would deny himself healthcare first.
