It appears President Donald Trump couldn’t be happier about his ploy to rip health care away from 20 million Americans. On Saturday morning, he bragged on Twitter about “ending Obamacare as we know it” prompting a furious response from social media users.
“For historical purposes remember, I was able to get rid of the INDIVIDUAL MANDATE, the most unpopular and expensive part of ObamaCare. You are no longer forced to pay a fortune for the “privilege” of NOT getting bad healthcare. This ended ObamaCare as we knew it. Thank you!” Trump tweeted.
Of course, his claim is false, as the Affordable Care Act (ACA), or Obamacare, is still the law of the land.
For the entirety of his presidency, Trump and his Republican allies tried to end the signature healthcare law but their effort was ultimately rejected by the Sumpre court.

It’s not even an issue of the government being “generous.” It’s OUR money. It’s OUR tax money that we hire the government to handle. We pay taxes for a great number of reasons… one is to provide the type of insurance policy, so to speak, that a pandemic requires.

Look at the love. Do you ever wish Melania would look at you like this? This is what life is about. Not power, not money, not best polls, but love and family. You missed out on happiness. Such a shame pic.twitter.com/lCBTfGPpah
