Foster children and poor children do and always have had medicaid.The best insurance in the world. It has nothing to do with ACA.

I think that the ACA definitely needs some improvements. There are many changes I don't think people realize great benefits of the HCA are being taken away. If you are safely covered behind employer-provided insurance, the protections set forth in the ACA (Affordable Care Act), apply to you too. And if those protections are repealed along with the rest (or any part) of the program, you will also be affected.

That means you may be trapped in a job, because your pre-existing condition may mean you will not qualify for new insurance offered by another employer, and the cost of private insurance would be prohibitive. If your employer shuts down, lays you off, or even changes insurers, well, you are out of luck.

It means that if you have a high-risk pregnancy, or life-threatening illness such as cancer, you may not be able to afford all the care you need, because you may hit lifetime or annual caps. If you have an infant born with any kind of severe medical condition, or premature, they may hit their lifetime insurance cap before they are old enough to walk.

On the OP Obamacare enrollment ends anyway early next week (1/31). I'm sure that the ads were paid for in advance, which is typical, so Trump hasn't done anything to "pull" the advertising off the airwaves. They weren't going to keep going after the deadline of 1/31/17.

Some of you think Trump is some sort of Superman lol.

Amazing that Obama had to spent $60M last year to promote Obamacare. Huge waste of money.

"Trump has pulled back $5M in ads."

There are all kinds of places like this that can be pulled back to build the wall.

The next place I would look is all the money we pay for printing everything in Spanish and the extra equipment needed to say everything in Spanish.

Trump supporters have the oddest priorities.
Why should we be paying to advertise something that is NOT going to around much longer?

Only a liberal would be against this.

"On the OP Obamacare enrollment ends anyway early next week" which is meaningless.

The O admin ran O Care ads ALL YEAR LONG.

Silencing science, eliminating public information, demanding that the National Parks Service state that more people attended his inauguration than attended Obama's. The guy is a freak. More and more, every day, Trump reminds me of North Korea's dictator. Wonder how long it will be before he orders that huge photos of himself be posted in public places.

If you are actually serious, then hopefully someone will say a prayer for you.
