He promised to actually create something? I thought his entire campaign was about bringing down all the good things that President Obama and Bush had done. Oh! And grab em by the ***** ... that actually won him 2016.

I saw that coming a mile away, as did most of us with common sense. The vast majority of those who benefited from Obamacare were those who collect government assistance for a living.
Since they were your co-workers did your company not pay anything into healthcare? Certainly sounds like it.

Look at the unemployment numbers, for one. Economy is doing awesome. He supports our military, he supports our police, he wants to deport and keep criminals from crossing into America illegally. You're absolutely correct, he's completely the opposite of what Obama is/was and will always be. Put that in your crack pipe and smoke it....

Trump 2020!

The ACA was a failure.

Additionally, it allowed the government to force people to buy something from a list of private companies selected by government officials. How unAmerican is that.

"-where is it?" The same pace your pay check is.
Health care is NOT a fed responsibility.

Why aren't you cheering Trump's attempts to repeal Obamacare?

Big fail on this.






(Oh, BTW, Colonel Sanders also said that Baltimore was a dump)
"Wasn't Obamacare supposed to do this?" Don't you mean the AFFORDABLE (which it isn't) Care Act.

Companies dropped coverage because the insurance companies were going out of business. Does that ring any bells? Some had no choice but to sign up for the ACA program.

Waiting on the great plan Trump said he would replace it with.

I'm a company owner. We did not drop coverage. ACA actually stopped the rampant year to year health insurance increases for group insurance. If your company dropped employee coverage it was not because of the ACA. In fact, this is more likely since Trump took office and began crippling the ACA. Prices for group insurance has dramatically risen.

Drug prices? Just another Trump lie.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/drug-pr...mes-inflation/

The economy is doing awesome??? Sure if you're in the top 10%. For the rest of Americans inflation is killing families and incomes are going south. Most of good American manufacturing jobs are gone.
Just as Trump promises they were replaced, yes, but with what, low paying, no benefit service jobs.
i.e., Walmart gave all their employees a raise and then cut their hour to 28hrs a week ending any healthcare they might have had. Not to worry, they now qualify for Medicaid and I have no doubt that you don't mind your tax dollar going to pay for what the billion dollar corporation do not. Good for you.

This is the truth of Trump's promises:
