    If you refuse to acknowledge the gross disparity between what Trump promised and what Trump has done, you are not alone.

    Saying "fake news" is rapidly a confirmation of it. Trump does it for everything he disagrees with and his sycophants think it works even though nobody is really listening anymore.

    I would be very willing to set my hair on fire if that meant it would return

    Well IF your talking this silly thing he just signed, then that isn't even happening for year and a half to two years from now, so why pitch a fit? This just posturing to get SOMEONE, ANYONE in Washington to do SOMETHING, ANYTHING other then hate and stonewall each other..

    Personally the left needs to pull their heads out of their ass's and start seeing that stubbornness is just going to make stuff far worse with Trump, to be fair he, at this point, Trump is willing to work with either side!

    It's going to raise premiums by 20% next year. How's that help you?

    Which is how pathetic it is to be a Trumpster these days.

    You can't make a fact based argument.

    You certainly can't defend a decision that will almost certainly result in tens of millions of people thrown off health insurance, and everyone else paying more for it, assuming that it is allowed to stand.

    It is a very good reason to vote for Democrats in the upcoming mid term elections, though.

    This baby needs to have his rattle taken away from him before he hurts too many other people.

    I don't know what you're talking about . I have no idea where you get the notion that this isn't going to happen for a year and a half.

    "he subsidies, which are worth an estimated $7 billion this year and are paid out in monthly installments, may stop almost immediately since Congress hasn’t appropriated funding for the program."

    Anything you people don't like is fake news. Including reality.

    In striking contrast to the fake hype of "something terrific!" the covers "everybody!" at "less cost!", the reality tv celebrity has whined, mewled, moaned, strained, and finally given birth to something squalid that covers fewer, and costs more - especially for the middle class.

    FINALLY! Some relief for Small Business employees which is a huge part of our economy and workforce.

    Thank you President Trump for looking out for Small Businesses.

    This is amazing.

    7 billion in subsides paid by Barry are illegal. Only Congress can spend the taxpayers money.

    Nope, watched Rand Paul state it's not even scheduled to kick in for at least a year and half and maybe two.. I can't say if he is ************ as he has always been a pretty strait shooter IMO?

    You mean the self admitted "designed to fail" Affordable Care Act?
    Perhaps the CBO is not the best source in the world.

    It'd be a God send to people in Arizona and Alaska whose premiums went up over a 100% under barrycare.

    Exactly even Obama himself said this wouldn't hold up and would have to be fixed by congress so I'm not sure what all the fuss is about.

    I believe what Paul was talking about was the buying across state lines and people buying into group plans, the 7 billion in subsidies (which are illegal) would stop immediately.
