man is, he will pay bigly, but what do you expect from a person who has no soul or compassion. He has some mental issues. Didn't he cut off funds for a family member after his father died. I think I remember reading this.

The guy just does not care. And after watching a duty to warn we are deep trouble with this guy.

The program has always been called the ACA Affordable Care Act by President Obama and the Democrats.

And by the way, it's not gone. I believe the courts will rule that he cannot kill it.

all that needs to happen is for premiums to rise for dump to achieve his aims--turn 'Muricans against the program and mess up the private insurance market. And, unfortunately, the chances that 'Muricans will figure out why and blame the GOPee are not good, based on the screwing they have been administering to the country since raygun and lack of consequences.

I'll bet either CA or NY is already getting a court case together.
Remember when the judges struck down his anti-immigrant orders?

It will be the same thing all over again, only this time all 50 states are against him.

but haven't some premiums just risen 30% in anticipation of his actions? And as an aside, this is why mcturdle is focused on getting as many RWNJs onto the Federal judiciary ASAP.

This is no longer the ACA or Obamacare. This is Trumpcare, The Unaffordable, Inexplicable Healthcare Act, brought directly to the American public by the Republican party and the Liar-in-Chief.

We don't let them off the hook--Trumpcare, 24/7.

20. Loss of subsidies fuels Wisconsin health insurance hike, AP, 10/13/17 (36% increase)
Tue Oct 17, 2017, 01:53 PM
Oct 2017
Associated Press - Wisconsin announced the 36 percent premium increase for the average plan on Thursday, fueled by the loss in subsidies that help cover deductibles and copayments for low-income consumers.

...

(Governor) Walker has been an outspoken opponent of the federal health care law and refused to set up a state-run exchange. He said that Wisconsin will look for flexibility under the law to cut costs.
