Trump still wants to repeal the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare)

[dblack]

Are you saying Congress should act against the will of the people ?

I'm saying we don't need Congress telling us how to do health care.

Insurance for tens of millions of people, and pre-existing condition guarantees, could be in jeopardy if the former president wins the 2024 election.

Donald Trump says he is still interested in repealing the Affordable Care Act, which means health care for tens of millions of people would be in jeopardy if he becomes president again next year.

Trump said Saturday on his website Truth Social that he was “looking at alternatives” to the 2010 health care law, also known as “Obamacare,” which has reduced the number of Americans without health insurance to historic lows and established basic guarantees of coverage for all Americans regardless of pre-existing conditions.

The vow echoes promises that Trump made as a first-time candidate and as president, when he and Republican leaders in Congress made repeal a top legislative priority.

That effort failed. It also proved spectacularly unpopular, fueling a backlash that eventually helped Democrats win back the House, the Senate and the White House. President Joe Biden, long a vocal supporter of the ACA, has since worked with Democrats to bolster the law.

Trump Still Seems Set On Repealing A Law That Most Americans Like​

Obamacare isn't perfect, but it has helped many Americans. In other words, the ACA hasn’t fixed American health care, but it’s helped a lot of people. What do you think?

Obamacare is not loved... the promises were not kept... insurance is four times higher today then it was before obamacare... premiums are higher deductibles are ridiculous...
And people are going through doctors like never before...
Its not good care when every time you go for an exam its a different doctor you are seeing.... wait times for appointments are months not weeks and now our emergency rooms are filled with uninsured sick folks....

 

[Robert W]

Show me one intelligent article that says this bill does that.

No. This is based on my sons experience.

Like VA Tricare, Medicaid and Medicare?

 

[Robert W]

trump lies all the time.

You and he must be twins.

 

[dblack]

Like VA Tricare, Medicaid and Medicare?

Yeah, but a hundred times worse. These programs are limited in scope, safety nets for people who fall through the cracks, so their negative impact is minimized. ACA tries to force everyone into a safety net.

trump is a Liar. No one can take his word for anything. His mental acuity is on life support. If he does not have a teleprompter, he cannot even put a full sentence together.

Obamacare was for people who fall through the cracks

Now you are copy and pasting jimboliar?
I guess after all the extensive Trump campaigning you are exhausted.

ACA is a feeding trough for the major players in the insurance industry. It primarily regulates insurance customers and protects insurance industry profits. Still plenty of cracks.

 

[Greenbeard]

Obamacare is not loved...

All evidence would suggest otherwise.

All evidence would suggest otherwise.

Then present it.... people who were uninsured before Obamacare like it until their income raises their premiums and annual cost.... It is and always has been a free healthcare give away for the poor paid for by the middle class... sooner or later that bubble will burst....

Well, it's popular in polling (60% approval), it's popular in practice (45 million people have enrolled in coverage thanks to it), and it's popular in politics (just this week Trump is backpedaling like crazy, reversing himself to now promise he won't terminate the ACA). Outside of a dwindling number of right wing deadenders, it's incredibly popular.

Actually that is not correct about the ACA. Matter of fact, when my son took my advice and wanted to use ACA, they turned him down. So few use ACA it is hardly worth mentioning.

It forces everyone into the same system, the same regulations, the some monetary funnel. We're all playing, regardless of whether we sign up. That was the point, to herd up the dissenters - those smartly rejecting the insurance industry's ambitions - and force them to play ball.

Why are there so small amounts who have coverage by the ACA? I urged my son to apply and they turned him own flat. It pissed him off.

 

[otto105]

Because it's awesome.

So is this

14 GOP-led states have turned down federal money to feed low-income kids in the summer. Here's why

Lower-income families with school-age kids can get help from the federal government paying for groceries this summer, unless they live in one of 14 states.

So why are 14 red states not taking the money to help poor people?

They like to be poor.

22 million is small?

 

[Robert W]

Where is the authority for the Feds to feed the poor? What part of the constitution declares that?

 

[Robert W]

22 million is small?

Yes it is small. We have a population now at around 342,000,000
