Trump gambles with ObamaCare moves

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Frustrated by Congress’s inaction on ObamaCare repeal, President Trump is taking a big political risk in using his authority to dismantle the health-care law piece by piece.

Democrats say Trump now owns ObamaCare, bearing responsibility for any problems that arise in the system, including higher premiums and insurer exits. 

"Republicans in the House and Senate now own the health-care system in this country from top to bottom," Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said in a press call Friday.

"Their destructive actions and the actions of the president are going to fall on their backs."

The administration announced late Thursday evening that it wouldn’t continue ObamaCare insurer payments, a decision that could come back to haunt Republicans politically.

Estimates from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office released in August indicated that premiums for the most popular ObamaCare plan would be 20 percent higher in 2018 and 25 percent higher by 2020 if the payments were canceled.

1. If we ever needed an honest media, it is now. They have to call out Trump lies about the ACA or

it is doomed for sure.

2. He doesn't care. Just doing non stop PR stunts to raise money for his legal costs

and pocket money.

3. The name has changed,
