Trump wants SCOTUS to strike down Obamacare...
Deflection away from the fact that everything is crumpling down around him. How can this be his priority at a time like this?

Some people just want to watch the world burn. Trump is obviously one of them.

Absolutely pathetic and pure incompetency by the GOP. Now Trump wants to cancel millions of peoples' health insurance and the ability of millions of people to get future health insurance as they lose their healthcare due to COVID related job loss. And he wants to bring back the horrific nightmare we all had back in the 90s and 00s when healthcare companies could discriminate based on pre-existing conditions. Sure, let us all go back to the day of when insurance companies refused to pay for ambulance rides because they would claim people who were injured had 'pre-existing conditions'. God, the US sucks so bad sometimes that it is infuriating.
Hard to believe anyone is backing this monumentally stupid and cruel lawsuit.

Where's that big, beautiful healthcare he promised for us on day one to replace Obamacare? And coverage for everyone is "​just human decency," right? "We're going to have insurance for everybody. There was a philosophy in some circles that if you can't pay for it, you don't get it. That's not going to happen with us." Oldies but goodies.

"I was the first & only potential GOP candidate to state there will be no cuts to Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid. Huckabee copied me." Yeah Donald, right.

Nero fiddled while Rome burned.......

And then what did Nero do? He blamed others, - Christians and fed them to the lions. When this is all said and done, I can guarantee Trump will blame everyone but himself.

I'm betting the Donald don't care one way the other.

I bet it's the Republicans and their insurance company backers.

Rallies are his #1 priority right now. Well, that and golfing. Forget about healthcare for the everyday citizens. They don't need it.

"​I am going to take care of everybody. I don't care if it costs me votes or not. ​The government's gonna pay for it."

Trump is reneging on his empty campaign promises again. Gosh, whoever saw that coming?

I hope Trump succeeds.

According to recent trends, there are likely more people w/o healthcare insurance right now than before ACA was enacted.

So much for EVERYONE being covered....strike 1

Very few got to keep their Doctors, and keep their insurance...strike 2

NOBODY saved money, in fact most now pay ~2X what they paid before for less coverage...strike 3

As Obama walked back to the dugout after striking out, the bat boy handed Barry an envelope w/ $20M in it, so he could buy his home in lilly White Martha's Vinyard.

Obama sacrificed all of us so he could be safe at home. It's time to strike down the ACA. Nowhere in the Constitution does it say the federal government can make you buy anything. They can tax you, but not tell you what to buy.

I did and am saving $$$ on the ACA compared to what I was paying before to be on the company's health plan.
