What happens when people that are uninsured need medical assistance and can't pay for it out of pocket? The rest of us will pay for it and costs will sky rocket even more.

Did Trump break yet another promise to those who believed him?

Obamacare was already broken. Democrats were hoping for 4 more years to fix it.

Looks like he has a great healthcare plan. Actually the interesting thing thats pointed out is that this will impact those making 4X the poverty limit, as the subsidies will shelter the poorer folks.

2019 will be the first time we see the impacts of the war on the ACA. Will it really be 30% as the study estimates? Barring some changes I can see that occurring.
Obamacare sucks. Brought to you 100% by democrats.

Trumpcare? I didn't know that Trump ever got a bill to sign. I thought Obummercare was still in force.

So you think we should raise the SSI benefits significantly from the $700 a month people born disabled get now? You claim that the TRULY needy should be taken care of, but the people you vote for doesnt agree with you. Answer this: Does ONE Republican in Congress support raising SSI benefits signficantly to "take care of the truly needy?"

I love the free phone myth. It started long before Obama.

Q: Has the Obama administration started a program to use "taxpayer money" to give free cell phones to welfare recipients?

A: No. Low-income households have been eligible for discounted telephone service for more than a decade. But the program is funded by telecom companies, not by taxes, and the president has nothing to do with it.

If they can't afford it now they couldn't pay for it with with the mandate either. It doesn't affect you. Unless you are depending on the forced extraction of money from others.

Just because there was a "mandate" does not mean ther was compliance. The penalty was less than a month's premium payment.

Not exactly . . . Obamacare was/is flawed. Since the original backers did not have an opportunity to fix it, they expect someone else to do as such.
