If one listens to or reads the drivel of the left-wing media, they might be inclined to think President Trump hasn't accomplished anything in his first 11 months of office. That's a perfect confirmation of Trump's charges about fake news from the MSM.
Good article from Byron York in the Washington Examiner exposes their silliness, with a
list of Trump 2017 accomplishments. Only problem with the list is it's much too short (7 items), and lots of accomplishments could have been added. The real list is much longer.
list of Trump 2017 accomplishments.
- Cut corporate and individual taxes.
- Repeal the Obamacare individual mandate.
- Appoint a highly-respected conservative to the Supreme Court.
- Appoint a one-year record number of judges to the circuit courts.
- Get rid of reams of unnecessary regulations.
- Destroy ISIS.
- Approve pipeline projects and new oil drilling.
Byron York: Amid firestorms, Trump has year of solid policy accomplishments. Can he keep going?
You tards bought a repeal and replacement of ObamaCare that would give you "such great health care at a tiny fraction of the cost".
Trump sold you a massive hoax.
How's that working out for you?
Mandate gone, by by Obama care
View attachment 166840
The employer mandate isn't gone.
The health insurance exchanges aren't gone.
The subsidies aren't gone.
If you wanted to keep ObamaCare around, you could have hired Hillary, dumbass.
You hired Trump to REPEAL and REPLACE Obamacare.
ALL OF IT.
You are a classic rube. You were sold a repeal and replace, and have accepted a forgery.
When you open your record high insurance and medical bills, try to tell yourself Trump didn't rape and sell your dumb idiot ass down the river.
10% premium increase? Obama care dead ..and the la times just had a hissy fit ... priceless.
GOP tax bill also manages to needlessly screw up the healthcare system
GOP tax bill also manages to needlessly screw up the healthcare system
are rushing to pass their cruel joke of a tax bill — legislation they claim will assist working families but in reality is an early Christmas present for corporations and the super-wealthy. Voting begins Tuesday.
It would be easy to devote an entire column to the vicious provisions of the bill, such as making corporate tax cuts permanent but relief for individuals only temporary, or running up well over a trillion dollars in debt to make the rich richer.
But the part that strikes me as most galling, and which has become almost an afterthought amid all the other damage the bill will do, is its incongruous and completely unnecessary repeal of the
Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate.
That’s the aspect of Obamacare that basically makes the rest of the system work — and it
does work, regardless of the lies conservative politicians tell to dupe followers into thinking the healthcare reform law is a “disaster” and a “catastrophe.”
recent report from the Commonwealth Fund found that “the Affordable Care Act has put access to healthcare in reach for millions of Americans.” It said fewer people are putting off doctor visits or struggling with medical bills.
In California alone, the percentage of uninsured working-age adults has plunged to 10% from 24%, according to the report. Nationwide, the uninsured rate fell to a record low 8.8% last year.
After
President Trump took office and cast uncertainty over insurance markets, the uninsured rate rose this year to a three-year high. Which means the only disaster for Obamacare has been Trump calling it a disaster.
And now Republicans are all but ensuring failure of the law by eliminating the requirement that most people have health insurance. They say they’re protecting personal freedom, giving people the choice of whether or not to buy coverage.
