He's preventing some people from starting their own small business because his latest Executive Order on ACA is causing massive increases in monthly insurance premiums for people that self-pay for their own insurance.
"Subsidized" is weasel-talk for using someone else's money to pay for that which you receive. If you want it, you should pay for it.

Democrats / Obama passed a very bad tax law and it's killing us middle class. Even before this next increase I can no longer afford insurance.
My policy also skyrocketed as well. I am lucky my employer picks up my tab but it's went out of control during the Obama era

That was Obama. Remember, he kept insulting Americans when he was out traveling the world. He wanted to be the world leader. He insulted his own people, or maybe he just never considered us to be his people with his anger over that crap his father dished out. Whatever his problem, I got sick of insults of American people spewing from his mouth.

Healthcare? He is trying to save our country from becoming bankrupt which was the purpose of ObamaCareNot. I don't enough money to worry about suing banks and corporations. Our status and position in the world? Are you even serious about that? He is restoring our status and position, Obama reduced us to the "doormat and dumping ground" of the world. Attacks the free press? No, he refutes what is said that are untruths. Really, how is he taking away your voting rights? For illegal aliens, that is true, but they are not entitled to vote in the first place.

All you have is your list from CNN. I would do a little more research before posting any bait they or MSM puts on the hook and throws out there.

Exactly. Unlike Obama, who would just rollover and pee on himself in submission to foreign nations, Trump is standing up to them.

Guess what? Trump is the President of the United States and not vying for the "world leader" like Obama. Believe or not, that is what we want, a President that looks after the interests of OUR country. The other countries are whining because Trump is tightening the purse strings to keep more of that money here.

President Obama is over. Many are very glad to see him gone, and even more are still trying to figure out how he ever got elected, including the morally, mentally and physically incompetent Hillary Clinton.

I agree with you. But you should know that the non-subsidized people are getting massive rate increases and these are the people that are impacted by Trump's EU. The subsidized people are still getting free stuff and as their rates raise, the taxpayers simply pay more for those people that still are getting free stuff. In the mean time, the person that pays 100% of their own premium is hugely impacted by Trump's EU.

This is because the insurance companies still must give free stuff to the subsidized people(by law) and to make up for this, the insurance companies are raising rates on self-pay people too. These raised rates are forcing the self-pay people, in effect, to give more free stuff to those that are subdizied. Trump's EU is reaching deep into the pocket's of self-pay people and using that money to to cover the subsized people.

Those that are subsidized are still getting all the free ACA stuff that they got before. Trump's Executive Order didn't take one penny of freebies away from those that are subsidized. Instead, Trump's Executive Order caused the Insurance Companies to raise rates for everyone. Guess what - the subsidized people's higher premiums are remain subsidized and their higher rates just mean that the taxpayers cover the higher premiums(more money out of taxpayer's pockets). But those people that self-pay for their own individual health insurance policies - those people that are NOT subsidized. These are the people that have to pay higher premiums due to Trump's executive order.

So yeah - those folks that pay their own way are the ones that are getting the shaft. Those people that are subsidized simply get the taxpayers to pay higher premiums for them. Who suffers - the hard workers that pay 100% of their own premium because their rates increased.

Just about all of Trump's cabinet are trying to destroy the agencies they were put in charge of.

So Trump is eroding the quality of life for most Americans, and robbing future generations of clean air and water, safe working conditions, a quality public school education. But, hey, the rich will have lots of tax breaks.

That was taken away by Bush2 and his lies for two failed wars.

Absolutely nothing. The fear-mongering worked on me before the election, I admit it. But November 9 came along and the world didn't end. And here, almost a year later, it still hasn't ended. It's sad that Trump's critics don't realize the degree to which they've become the boy who cried wolf.

If that was the case the new retirement system for military that was put into effect under Obama's administration would have been undone and gone back to the original retirement system. The new retirement system for the military is just like a 401K.
