What's Republican President Donald Trump up to now? It sounds to me like he's out to butcher Obamacare. He just signed an executive order to cut funding for Obamacare by $7 billion. President Trump said he was going to let Obamacare fall on its own but he's definitely lying. He's out to bankrupt Obamacare through deliberate cuts without having any Republican healthcare bill in place, which you can't compare with.
The idea of killing Obamacare is not something that the Republican-controlled Congress is promoting. It's something that President Trump, himself, is promoting and return healthcare to what it was before Obamacare which had large gaps in the health insurance you could get called donut holes.
A lot of people will just end up uninsured entirely. If they get a health problem, they'll go to the emergency room and say they just can't pay the bill and the taxpayers will then be stuck paying it. Some people in Wisconsin have Badger Care, which will try to make up for some of the losses, but Badger Care can only cover so much when you have a federal program like Obamacare. Republican President Donald Trump is passing executives orders to eliminate Obamacare.
Now, the Democratic Party will definitely fight this and hopefully there are some Republicans in Congress that will support them and rather than eliminate Obamacare, say - let's fix it. Senator Bernie Sanders is so disgusted he proposed Medicare For All, which is like what Canada has. One thing for sure, healthcare is more than just a need, it's a necessity. No one - young or old, rich or poor - can say they will never need healthcare.
There are a lot of big organizations supporting the necessity of healthcare starting with AARP also including the AMA. The only way we're going to get politicians to come up with a program we can all support just like our legislators are covered, we should expect the same kind of coverage because no legislator can be turned down.
Polls show that about 90 percent of the people expect some kind of healthcare program must be agreed to. I suppose the top ten percent of our income bracket, many of them millionaires and billionaires really don't care if they have a health program or not because they have ample income to get their healthcare bills paid. After all, President Trump's a billionaire and will take care of himself first.
