    I don't believe this article, mine was way more than that, as in doubled. But even if it was correct, which it isn't 25% increase is still way too much, when there was already healthcare for the non contributors in place.

    Yes he did, he chose to help the economy 1st and hoped to get the 60 votes for healthcare. He should have known better because the Dems/RINO"s were doing everything they could to make sure as much of the Trump agenda didn't happen. Mission accomplished and the country is worse off because of these globalists agendas.

    Healthcare was already in place before Obamacare.

    The inflation reduction act, which is really just another extension of the green new deal wouldn't have passed without Republican support. BTW, the Dems have the majority in both the House and the Senate, they shouldn't need Republican support to get bills passed.

    The greenies are a cult. I think you're confused, I'm not confused about personal responsibility and taking care of myself with as little government in my life as possible. You must like more government in your life?

    He never, ever unveiled his health care plan. On more than one occasion, he said it would be coming out in "2 weeks".
    He never had a plan.

    This is from after he was in office for about 6 weeks.

    He also seemed to express surprise at the complexity of the reform process. “I have to tell you, it’s an unbelievably complex subject,” Trump said. “Nobody knew that health care could be so complicated.”

    Trump throughout his campaign publicly pledged to quickly kill and replace Obamacare, while never getting specific about what the alternative would look like. After the election, however, he’s appeared at times to waffle about yanking the law, tweeting on Jan. 4 that it would be more politically savvy to let Democrats own the Obamacare “disaster.”

    Recently he’s promised to release his Obamacare alternative plan by early to mid-March, but there’s been trepidation among some Republicans, especially after many GOP lawmakers were forced to confront angry constituents at recent town halls who are worried about losing their health care.

    You know... it's not that difficult to agree that there were some things Trump was full of **** on even if you do like him and want him to be President (you know, like Mexico will pay for the wall)

    Stop being a drama queen. New agents, old agents, etc. If you are preparing your taxes correctly, then there should be nothing to worry about. If you have been dishonest in the past, then maybe you need to stop being dishonest. If you have an accountant that you are uneasy if they are ****ing up your taxes or not, then perhaps it is time to get a new accountant.

    You guys find the stupidest **** to grab on to and cry wolf.

    So what plan did Trump propose for health care? I’ll donate $50 to the tip jar if you can find it. You are so full of crap it is hilarious.

    Trump was too busy race baiting, recommending bleach and UV lights, and holding bibles upside down to do any actual governing as president.

    raining threes must be a glutton for punishment. This dude is what would happen of all Trumpers tried arguing their points/beliefs. There is a reason why Republicans only talk amongst themselves in echo chambers.

    OMG. You really are uninformed about the healthcare situation in this country. I don't get people who are satisfied that our country is so piss poor compared to the rest of the modern world in providing free or affordable healthcare. Selfishness. Are you in the healthcare business? If so, maybe that explains it.

    Trump was there in March and in June when the original subpoenas were made. If his lawyer signed a document that all material was turned over then either Trump misled his own lawyers, his own lawyers misled Trump or they both didn’t know his much material there was at Mar a Lago. In the first car Trump is potentially criminally liable in the second two he is incompetent since he hired those lawyers and in his words he only hires the best.

    Again prior to ACA healthcare for non contributors was through hospitals and doctors ethically bound to provide care. There still were cost that were then born in higher cost to everyone else. Basically socialized health care.
