Critics see Trump sabotage on Obamacare
The Hill ^ | Oct. 7, 2017 | Peter Sullivan and Rachel Roubein

Posted on 10/07/2017 7:11:25 PM PDT by Innovative

The Trump administration is taking a hatchet to ObamaCare after failing to pass legislation through Congress repealing President Obama’s signature law.

The administration has cut funding for advertising and outreach by 90 percent, raising the odds that fewer people will join the health-care exchanges during the fall enrollment period.

It has slashed funds by 41 percent for outside groups that help reach and enroll likely ObamaCare consumers.

Good.

Shame on those spineless Republicans in Congress.

Now Trump has to act alone, but he is doing it.

Go, Trump, MAGA!

Obama care had designed in failure so, its failing by design.

Trump is just letting it happen, as he should.

Democrats voted it in, yet they cry while it fails.

Hope the voters remember who voted it in. And who voted not to undo it, IE John McCain.

Sabotage? That assumes it was unexpected. I think Trump has been very frank and clear. Obamacare will fail on it’s own. There’s nothing he has to do to make it fail.

No funds for Acorn, BLM, OFA, etc. and all the other Democratic Party Communist front groups.

Why should the federal govt be spending taxpayer’s money advertising giveaways or paying people to “outreach” AKA to find more people to get the giveaways.

(title) :" Critics see Trump sabotage on Obamacare "

In reality, OBAMACARE was designed to SABOTAGE the ECONOMY
and convert all the citizens to Socialism/Communism !

Give a medical program to a citizen,
then increase its cost/value
then take the medical program away from the citizen
Then,... boy is the citizen PI$$ED (!) at whoever took it away.

You don’t need to reach them. It’s the law and has been for several years! And Progs think that people obey the law.

Change the law or follow the law. The ACA is the law. Trump has an obligation to enforce it.

Sucks when a President refuses to ignore the law isn’t it?

What did these idiots think were going happen? Trump should repeat that EVERY time he speaks in public. This is the law Congress, both houses, decided was the law for America.

It’s time for the left to get a fu&$ing civics lesson.
