Trump knows how to get re-elected, and just because most folks on the MHF don't like it, that doesn't mean the American electorate will share their sentiments on the matter. The President of Canada is going to make it rain whether they like it or not.

The penalty tax? It's still there I think. I've seen conflicting reports on this though. Ryan wanted to remove the mandate but he was going to charge you interest on lapsed time in between coverage once it picks up.
Fuck Paul Ryan, he may have got away with screwing up the Obamacare Repeal, but he'd best not screw up the tax cuts, cause there's lots of Republicans using Obamacare, but no way in hell are they gonna pay for it.
Well you have to in some cases. There are probably better options. I'm all for leaving it to the markets and forcibly deporting people that unnecessarily use the ER.
Well the CBC went down to Alabama or some such hick place like that, where the county was 89% Trump supporters, and they asked a Trump supporter "how much do you pay for Obamacare?" and he said "$88 a month for me and my wife", so the CBC asks "how much did you pay before?" and he said "$660 a month", so the CBC asks "so why would you oppose Obamacare?", the guy didn't even answer he just sort of stared at them like a deer in the headlights. lol.
They went and asked his wife after, but she just rattled off some nonsensical gibberish that didn't make any sense at all, but they just let her off the hook, "Ok, thanks".

Nah the premiums have been going up from what I heard. At first I think there were some ok deals but from the sound of it whatever plan thy got had a 10k deductible. Not even insurance.
Some states have people paying closer to 800/month with kids currently for actual insurance. I think I pay about 300 a month for just my kid and me and it's pretty good insurance. That's through the company provider and it's pooled with all the other corporation employees. We have a low accident record so we get a quarterly safety bonus on our checks. Comes out to a months rent a year and it caps out at 200 a quarter I think. Nah wait 1200 a year so 300.... or something.
US Steel was best insurance and unionized so it was free. Great insurance.
