It is truly sad that you think Obama did nothing and shows the level of ignorance that Trumpsters have. Among some of the things that Obama did was put in financial and environmental regulations that prevented us from being fleeced by Wall Street and prevented us from becoming polluted like China or India is. Ever been in Beijing or India where you can't even breath without a mask or drink water out of the tap?

And you don't need a king to become a true socialistic society. Denmark's royal family doesn't make the policies, it's the people's government who does.

I have lived in Denmark and know that Americans could never ever become like the progressive Danes. We have too many self-serving, greedy Americans, one who is running the country now in fact...

Here you go. To the best of my understanding all the taxes associated with the Affordable Care Act will be repealed. They are:

It's a long document so you will have to download it.

Trump's new health care really is a gift to higher incomes and younger people but since Trump chose to toss his base an anchor while they are drowning, they have no room to complain. Trump knows his base will worship him no matter what he does. If they want to give me and my family huge tax credits, we'll take them. It won't mean we support Trump but we will take satisfaction in seeing how this is playing out.

CBO: 14 million people would lose coverage next year under GOP health care plan

The Congressional Budget Office’s report on the American Health Care Act estimates that 14 million people would be without health insurance in 2018 versus under the plan, while 24 million people would be uninsured in 2026 than under the current plan.
The 28-page report released Monday afternoon was bad news for Republicans who had been preemptively attacking the office in anticipation of a scoring critical of their proposed Obamacare replacement plan. The report also said that while the AHCA would substantially decrease premiums for younger policy holders, it would substantially raise them for older Americans.
