Trump isn't going to be President forever. The minute the Rat wins the WH, this EO will get reversed, if it doesn't get shot down in the courts first.
I want Obamacare repealed legislatively. If not, then all Trump has to do is end the waivers, end the exemptions, and force Congress' staff and the elites to go on Obamacare just like us little people.
Then and only then will they beg for repeal.
“I want Obamacare repealed legislatively”
well, naturally. but that hasn’t and won’t happen unless Congress, specifically the GOP, is FORCED to act, and the only force that can cause them to act is for obamacare to collapse. period
“I can’t believe that FReepers are applauding this.”
I guess FOLLOWING THE CONSTITUTION when it comes to where spending originates is not a big deal to you...
And, by the way, if Republicans wanted an orderly wind-down of Obamacare, they had virtually all year for that.
The subsidies were found illegal by a federal judge as a result of republicans lawsuit. They should have already ended. This wasn’t an EO out of the dark it was following the law.
This is done after the best outcome (legislative repeal) was unsuccessful thanks to the brain-damaged McCain. Most would argue that the aforementioned repeal was bad bc it actually entrenched 0bamacares subsidies.
The next president cannot reinstate this illegal subsidy. But he could just overturn EOs that exempt congress etc. IMO ending the subsidies will almost immediately crash 0care. This with the new ability to form groups across state lines means we have a little competition and that’s good I sure hope I get a new plan...
The RINOs had many chances to repeal this thing. They refused and so Trump is dismantling it piece by piece. It’s all he can do. End it takes mega-guts to do it.
