Trumpadanadana Backs More Funding for ‘Dead’ Obamacare
On Tuesday "Orange Foolius" called Obamacare “dead” and a “disgrace to our nation” but seems open to signing off on more funding for the 2010 health care law. “Obamacare is virtually dead. At best, you could say it’s in its final legs. The premiums are going through the roof. The deductibles are so high that people don’t get to use it. Obamacare is a disgrace to our nation".
Nevermind......
Literally minutes later, news broke that Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander and Democratic Sen. Patty Murray had reached a bipartisan deal to continue Cost Reduction Subsidies (CSRs) for Obamacare. According to a Politico report, Trump supports the deal.

Re: Trumpadanadana Backs More Funding for ‘Dead’ Obamacare
Busting the 'Obamacare is dead' and other Trump fake news about the law.
Trump's sabotage has been aimed as much at making people think Obamacare is dead as it has at actually trying to kill it. He lies about it at every opportunity, declaring that it's gone. He's stopped funding all the outreach and advertising the government is supposed to be doing to promote enrollments, reinforcing the idea that it just doesn't exist anymore. While good-sized majorities of people recognize that all the damage being done is of Trump's own doing, the problem is that many are confused about whether it will still be there in 2018 and whether they can still get financial help to get it.
- Obamacare is not dead and enrollments open in two weeks;
- direct financial assistance for paying premiums is still available;
- there is still a tax penalty for not having coverage.
