Trump has Already Effectively Repealed Obamacare (Dick Morris)
Facebook ^ | Dick Morris

Posted on 03/27/2017 8:26:37 PM PDT by LS

Dick Morris says what I have said for a couple of weeks. Obamacare really has been killed, and no one noticed.

Trump told the IRS not to enforce the "individual mandate." That is the essential coercive element. No mandate, no O-care. Morris said he did this last week---in fact, I heard more than four weeks ago that the IRS was NOT enforcing this and just assumed it came from Trump.

Second, the requirement that you buy from an "approved" insurance company---Trump waived that as well by telling HHS to approve any policy as "qualifying."

Yes, some of the subsidies and other crap remains, but the individual mandate---which the USSC upheld---is gone and so is the other coercive mechanism.

And nobody noticed.

The next president, if he or she is a Dhimmicrap, can undo what President Trump has done.

No penalty, cool.
So all I want is a cheap catastrophic policy and I’d be happy, if it were offered for early retirees. Maybe some insurance companies will start offering a menu of policies instead of my ONE choice now.

Why is Ryan pandering to ‘Republican’ donors? President Trump campaigned against politicians using ‘we the people’ to pay back super packed donors via legislation... yet here is Ryan doing the very thing that President Trump campaigned against. No taxation, mandate, or regulation without representation....

The underground market has been selling unqualified plans ALL ALONG!

Anyone can call a carrier and purchase an unqualified plan.

Adverse selection!

The reason his poll numbers are in the 30’s is because when it comes to politics most people are pretty ignorant if not outright dumb. Trump is about the best thing what happened to this country for a long time, and just in time. All I can say is that I hope this country hasn’t already gone too far to the left, even so it may take several Trump’s or Reagans in a row to straighten out what has been in the making for several decades.

That’s definitely something he can do even over the objection of the uniparty.

The destruction of Obamacare is written into the law.
Which doesn’t appropriate funds for Cost Sharing Reduction Subsidies.

No one told New York State

Their marketplace is just as statist, crony-capitalist, expensive and corrupt as ever

No, it's not gone if it's just not being enforced. The next Democrat president will enforce it. It needs to be gone gone. For real.
