Trump isn’t going to kill thousands by getting rid of this BS, he’s going to help us be able to afford the Insurance we actually need, NOT what Obammie said we need.

Has anyone found the $2,500 the Pretender promised he was saving everyone?

[beethovenfan]

Who’s a$$ was this figure extracted from?

You’re all goin ta die!!!

[TigerClaws]

Trump saved or created a million lives this year due to the improved economy.

Making up numbers is fun!

[dp0622]

That’s Nothing.

Reading the Washington Post kills TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND a year!

Can President Trump change IRS stuff? Sorry for my ignorance.

>Why should liberals care, they murder a half million babies every year.

I know. Just think how great we could be with 500,000 more unwanted urban ghetto DinDus with their hands out, making us great.

...and then the seas will rise and we’ll all drown (except those who will be burned to death by all the exploding volcanoes). Women and children harmed most.

[piytar]

Oh, I’m surprised those have not come out already.

The homeless apparently only exist when a Republican is in the White House, right? /MSM

That's false. It will save 45 million people's lives.

See? I can make up bullsh*t numbers too.

Well WAPO, you are owned by Bezos who is worth $50 billion. Have him whip out his checkbook and take care of that problem quick like.

43,000 x $400/mo = 17.2 million monthly insurance premiums for A+ plans. He should be able to handle that with no problem. He probably wouldn’t even miss it.

[aquila48]

They make it up.

[piytar]

Um, I believe he did that today.

[jazminerose]

You’re right. Why didn’t I think of that?

[AmusedBystander]

The only things that Trump is going to kill are corrupt politicians’ cash flow.

[waynesa98]

actually your not that far off. The ACA and Obama economy have conspired to do something never seen before. Life expectancies have fallen for both men and women about 3 months. You have to understand the damage Obama did to the economy, the 30 hr rule that killed full time employment (97% of net new jobs since Obama took office have been part time). hell just the shooting gallery that Chicago has become likely has dropped IL life expectance at least a few weeks.

[semaj]

More fake news. Booring!

[smokingfrog]

for every 455 people who gained coverage across several states, one life was saved per year..

The New England Journal of Medicine is full of horse apples.

[DoughtyOne]

And here I thought it would cost 78,000 lives per year.

Yet more winning... LOL

43,000...

That number has brown fecal matter on it, from whence it came.
