Failing to enforce the law is nowhere near effective repeal. We need multiple executive orders, and we need hundreds of thousands of lifetime waivers from all Obamacare requirements. Every American citizen and business should be able to print up their own personal lifetime waiver or hundred-year business waiver so that they are immune even when a Ctrl-Left thug takes power again. We need all Obamacare lawsuits to have negotiated settlements that gut that evil law. Once it’s “effectively repealed” and everyone has a waiver, then we need to bring it to Congress again and pass a clean repeal.

Any future Democrapic president could bring it back. Trump must get Obamacare Replaced through Congress!

[ReplaceTheGOP]

So when Obama suspended part of the law - THAT WAS AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION!

When Trump does it - HE’S GREAT!

Leave it to DICK to find a way to place his progressive spin on this. And no, it still doesn’t go away you moron. We are still compelled by the law to have it!

Absolute bat s**t crazy.

Trump has Already Effectively Repealed Obamacare (Dick Morris)

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

Article and # 7 .

Thanks, Hoosiermama.

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."

I suspected this. Instead of a heart shot it's a lung shot. It will still bleed out and die you just have to track it farther.

Not enforcing a mandate does not make it gone.

IRS will send people a bill for any years that they didn't have insurance or a waiver.

Either it's there or it isn't.

Unless Trump issues a blanket waiver indefinitely, or the mandate is removed, people will get a bill later.

Bah, humbug.

Government by EO is not the right way of running the USA.

Trump gutted Obama Care on his first day as POTUS!

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.

Executive Order Minimizing the Economic Burden of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act Pending Repeal
EXECUTIVE ORDER
- - - - - - -
MINIMIZING THE ECONOMIC BURDEN OF THE PATIENT PROTECTION AND AFFORDABLE CARE ACT PENDING REPEAL

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1. It is the policy of my Administration to seek the prompt repeal of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Public Law 111-148), as amended (the “Act”). In the meantime, pending such repeal, it is imperative for the executive branch to ensure that the law is being efficiently implemented, take all actions consistent with law to minimize the unwarranted economic and regulatory burdens of the Act, and prepare to afford the States more flexibility and control to create a more free and open healthcare market.

Sec. 2. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Secretary of Health and Human Services (Secretary) and the heads of all other executive departments and agencies (agencies) with authorities and responsibilities under the Act shall exercise all authority and discretion available to them to waive, defer, grant exemptions from, or delay the implementation of any provision or requirement of the Act that would impose a fiscal burden on any State or a cost, fee, tax, penalty, or regulatory burden on individuals, families, healthcare providers, health insurers, patients, recipients of healthcare services, purchasers of health insurance, or makers of medical devices, products, or medications.

Sec. 3. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Secretary and the heads of all other executive departments and agencies with authorities and responsibilities under the Act, shall exercise all authority and discretion available to them to provide greater flexibility to States and cooperate with them in implementing health care programs.

Sec. 4. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the head of each department or agency with responsibilities relating to healthcare or health insurance shall encourage the development of a free and open market in interstate commerce for the offering of healthcare services and health insurance, with the goal of achieving and preserving maximum options for patients and consumers.

Sec. 5. To the extent that carrying out the directives in this order would require revision of regulations issued through notice-and-comment rulemaking, the heads of agencies shall comply with the Administrative Procedure Act and other applicable statutes in considering or promulgating such regulatory revisions.

Sec. 6. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or
(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.
(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

Then why leave the employer mandate in place? Did he give a solid reason for leaving it? I said weeks ago.. just don’t enforce it. Obama set a fun precedent with not enforsing.
So why is my insurance still so expensive?
