WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Moments after House Republicans voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act on Thursday, millions of Trump supporters celebrated the imminent loss of their health insurance.

From coast to coast, Americans who cast their votes for Donald J. Trump expressed jubilation at finally being relieved of the burden of being insured in the event of catastrophic illness.

“Ever since President Trump was inaugurated, I’ve been counting the days for him to take away my health insurance,” Carol Foyler, a Trump supporter in Houston, said. “Today I just want to say thank you, Mr. President, for keeping your promise.”

Harland Dorrinson, a Trump voter from Tallahassee, Florida, said that he was “excited as hell about losing my health insurance” but sounded a more cautious note.

“I just hope the Senate doesn’t come in and give me back my health coverage,” he said. “Right now this all feels too good to be true.”

Most Trump supporters, however, would not let such gloomy predictions about the future ruin what for them was a day of unbridled celebration.

“Knowing that Trump could take away my Obamacare makes me feel super optimistic about what he’s capable of,” Tracy Klugian, of Columbus, Ohio, said. “I can’t wait until he gets rid of my Medicare.”

Satire. But nonetheless all true.

And yet he still has a 40% approval rating.

The fat black chick on msnbc was complaining that this was a win for healthy, young middle class people. Looks like they have begun trying to take stuff from the middle class.

They voted for their own demise. I do not feel sorry for them at all.


Let them eat cake!

Cult of personality.

He could have done the exact opposite and they would have also been ecstatic. To Trumplodytes he is a Messiah. He knows better than mere mortals like themselves so why wouldn't they hang on every word and deed?

Maybe they just don't want to receive charity(and other things) from the more fortunate, and would rather take care of themselves.

Let's hope there's still some charity for them when it's their turn in the barrel.
