How do you feel about Trump saying:

“Obamacare has been repealed in this bill. We didn’t want to bring it up,” he said. “I told people specifically, ‘Be quiet with the fake-news media because I don’t want them talking too much about it.’ Because I didn’t know how people would —.” Trump didn’t finish that thought, but he said he could admit what had been done “now that it’s approved.”

Wont the increase in premiums for health insurance be much greater than the temporary 2% reduction in fed taxes that I will enjoy for 7 years?

I'll defer to Schneed because I have hated the Affordable Care Act from the beginning, and it is one of those areas I don't think I think rationally on.

Fact is, in my opinion, both the tax bill, AND the affordable care act would have better served the country if both parties got their heads out of their group asses and worked for America rather than party line interests. I have said it before I would far prefer seeing a bill that gives ground on my causes - repealing the ACA - and had broad bipartisan support, but fact is the Democrats weren't going to work with President Trump, AND the Republicans weren't going to work with Pres Obama. In both cases the politicians put party ahead of the US interests. and it sucks.

But at this point, IF the dems want to preserve healthcare reform, or immigration reform, then work together and find the common ground and shut out both the progressive extremes and people like me, and get the government working again.
