Trump vows complete end of Obamacare law despite pandemic

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Trump said Wednesday he will continue trying to toss out all of the Affordable Care Act, even as some in his administration, including Attorney General William P. Barr, have privately argued parts of the law should be preserved amid a pandemic.
“We want to terminate health care under Obamacare,” Trump told reporters Wednesday, the last day for his administration to change its position in a Supreme Court case challenging the law. “Obamacare, we run it really well. . . . But running it great, it’s still lousy health care.”

While the president has said he will preserve some of the Affordable Care Act’s most popular provisions, including guaranteed coverage for preexisting medical conditions, he has not offered a plan to do so, and his administration’s legal position seeks to end all parts of the law, including those provisions.

Democrats, who view the fight over the Affordable Care Act as a winning election issue for them, denounced the president’s decision.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said in a statement that “the President’s insistence on doubling down on his senseless and cruel argument in court to destroy the ACA and every last one of its benefits and protections is unconscionable, particularly in the middle of a pandemic.”

1. If they hadn't called it "Obamacare"

Then Trump wouldn't be trying to get rid of it.

What a petulant jerk! People compare him to a child, but my two children NEVER behaved as he does. Even during the "terrible twos"!

2. It's not called Obamacare. It's the Affordable Care Act.

4. Absolutely!

That's what I always call it, but because it is so connected with the President who saw it put into law, it is a big target for The Orange One.

3. It was the Repugs who coined the term, not our side.

5. I wish a group of citizens could

march into the Oval Office, grab him by the scruff of the neck and heave his through the nearest window and let a crowd with pitchforks chase him down PA Ave. And tell him his fat ass is fired.

6. cruel and senseless

Dismantling the ACA with nothing in the pipeline to back it up is cruel and senseless. That's what happens when you have a president who has the reasoning of a ten year old.
