The Obamacare Executive Orders Trump Could Issue on Day One
The Daily Signal ^ | January 04, 2017 | Melissa Quinn

President-elect Donald Trump may be following President Barack Obama’s lead come Jan. 20, using executive orders to roll back parts of the outgoing president’s signature health care law.

During a meeting with Republicans on Capitol Hill Wednesday, Vice President-elect Mike Pence said the president-elect plans to kick off his administration by signing executive orders to begin dismantling Obamacare.

“We’re working now on a series of executive orders that will enable that orderly transition to take place even as Congress appropriately debates alternatives to and replacements for Obamacare,” Pence told reporters after the meeting.

Pence did not elaborate on which parts of the law the president-elect would dismantle using his executive authority, and Trump’s transition team did not return The Daily Signal’s request for comment.

Is the ride from the swearing in long enough to the inagural parade reviewing stand? How many things will President Trump be able to sign?

I keep wondering if it's like in The Matrix, when Agent Smith talked about how the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world without suffering and everyone could be happy, but then nobody could accept it because it was all TOO good to be true.

All this winning seems too good to be true too!

Why don’t the stupid Republicans have a comprehensive plan/legislation ready to replace Obamacare? By now they should have one and be ready to vote on it.

Hopefully, Trump will go to bed still signing repeal orders until his left hand gives out on him.

I’m certain that he will. The Republicans had better get their stuff together.

An executive order forcing the Obama family to rely on Obamacare would be fitting.

Trump can cripple Obama care enough to ensure its repeal without replacement just by rescinding the executive orders used to prop it up.

Then there is no “TrumpCare” for the democrats and Free Republic's #NeverTrumpers to hang around Trump's neck.

An ideal that makes the #NeverTrumpers seethe inside

The best replacement is nothing: the unfettered free market.

Haven’t we learned from 0Bummer’s mandates that EO’s don’t work as they only last as long as the current Prez in office and the next won’t strike them down?

Only EO’s Trump should create are the ones to remove all of 0Bummer’s EO’s.

Get rid of the individual mandate, the cost sharing reductions and the reinsurance payments and you eliminate Obamacare within weeks, months at the most. Insurance companies will go bankrupt without them, and ending them would cause all of them to bail from the exchanges.
