Actually, first off it's Trump's utter failure to make good on his promise to replace Obamacare with something far better immediately upon taking office.
Obama was your President. We get it. He promised the freebies you are so enamored of.
Uncle Sugar for you and your people. Free phones and free health care. All in exchange for votes. We get it.
We're going back to FreedomCare. Where we take care of the TRULY needy, and the able-bodied get off the porch and provide for themselves like the rest of us.
You're exactly right. Trump has freedom. The rest of us pay for it.

Actually your savior obama stated under his plan, all Americans will be covered (paraphrased)? What happened?

If you are actually a retired cop, you enjoyed decades of decent health insurance paid for by taxpayers.
Apparently, we are still footing the bill or perhaps your wife is. Hard to tell from your post.
As long as insurance companies can't discriminate against those with pre-existing conditions, those with catastrophic insurance should be okay. If they find themselves needing regular insurance coverage, they can always switch.
However, if insurance companies can refuse those with pre-existing conditions, then those with catastrophic coverage will find themselves in a more difficult situation.
If insurance companies are not allowed by law to refuse those with pre-existing conditions, then we all pay higher premiums to cover the cost of those who were coasting along until something came up.
"Premiums were going up rapidly: Between 2000 and 2010, average family premiums for employer coverage grew 8 percent per year – a perpetual burden on Americans’ budgets. From 2010 to 2016, that same average has grown at a slower 5 percent a year."
"Hundreds of thousands of people were afraid to change jobs: It’s a phenomenon called “job lock” – people being afraid to leave their corporate jobs and go out on their own because doing so meant walking away from affordable premiums. For some, the risk was even greater; if you had a pre-existing condition, insurance companies could refuse to sell you coverage."
Obamacare never had any cost controls, that's why it was doomed from the beginning. Libs must miss the $1000 a month premiums and the $8000 deductibles..
lmao
