    Sad that there actually are people who will believe that King Sweet Potato has the power to do this. This is a grift and 23 million American will lose their health coverage when the ACA is decimated. How may more have to suffer and die? 200,000 Americans dead on Trump's watch isn't enough? This is a great America? Really? sm*h

    Yup. Claiming it as a "policy" gives it ZERO power

    Thing with an executive order is that another executive order can overturn it .- which I suspect is what is underpinning this. There is a whole lot of pressure from the insurance industry to overturn the ACA. Doing it this way he can hold out a promise to entice his base and whip it away later

    The ACA can't go away fast enough. Its a garbage law that destroyed healthcare choices and coverage options for responsible people.

    trumps not part of the lawsuit

    trump is attempting to do something ...to fix the mess when the dems bill gets found to be illegal. Why don’t they work with the gop and pass a legal bill instead of stonewalling?

    Brilliant. Let's take healthcare away from tons of millions in the middle of a pandemic.

    That's the Republican way
