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.

Obamacare has cost us about $30,000 (so far) in increased Premiums since December 2013.

We never even got any of those $2,500 yearly Checks that Obama promised us.

"Outside groups" means the Democrat party. We need to defund them.

It appears the president has reached that “I tried to do it your way, now screwya” point.

Obamacare doesn’t need any help to fail. Obamacare is a textbook case of gross failure right now. As it sits. If djt helps it along a bit, consider it helping mercifully put it out of its misery. Sort of ironic that Obamacare with its death squads might get a little help in the euthanasia department itself, ha ha. Either way, it’s a horrible thing to have inflicted on Americans. Hoping it terminates asap!

Were in not for RINOs in Congress, President Trump’s agenda would be on its way to fruition. Democrats would be nothing more than eunuchs with absolutely NO impact on ANYTHING. Left onto itself, ObamaCare would implode, as planned, and we would now be heading to a single payer system, much like VA healthcare but on steroids. 2018 had better be the year of ridding the GOP of RINOs or Venezuela will look like utopia.

Sabotage????

It was a disaster from the day it was signed. They knew it would be , but they didn’t expect the people to resist the way they have. They thought everyone would be like a bunch of lemmings, going off the cliff.

If that is for 1 person, that's just terrible.

That is to say, the increase is terrible, but increase or not, to pay over $1300 for 1 person is, in a word, unaffordable.
