Not surprising that Matty neither read, nor understood the gist of the article. |

Matty. Obamacare is not intact. The Trump Administration is doing a lot of things to screw it up...withholding payments to insurers, not enforcing key aspects of minimum insurance, reducing provider payments in Medicare beyond the agreed upon limits.
My wife had someone to take over her practice. He, suddenly quit medicine over the problems with Medicare. My wife retires and is leaving a practice with no one to care for her patients.
The problems have escalated during the past year. |

And yet you said this last week.....
The ACA is now at a 54% approval rating. How much higher is that than Trump's approval rating? |

Because the shit is about to hit the fan and it will be blamed on Trump not on Obamacare. That's how it rolls in politics Matty. Trump better do something or he will get blamed...not Obama.
Obama's low approval ratings during his first two years in office were because of situations he inherited (Mid-east wars and a economy in shambles). Truman said it best "the buck stops here". Trump owns the ACA now. It has major problems that Trump is making worse. We will remember how great Ocare was in the first few years and how bad it will become.
It's not really fair. Ocare had some major problems that were always a set up for future governments. But, trust me, the Democrats will run on health care in 2020 and Trump will be the one blamed for destroying Ocare. This and a recession are going to cause a one term Presidency for the GOP. |

I would put your predictions right up there with the Farmers Almanac...borderline useless.
One big problem with your prediction....their called democrates and they have completely lost their way. Sadly Trump will still shine as a far better choice than the open borders, sanctuary cities , cop hating , retards on the left. |

Well. Let's see how it plays out. Millions of baby boomers go on line with Medicare and the Trump Administration is really f##king that up. I know cause I deal with it daily. Physicians are bailing on the program. Combine that with a recession that the majority of real economists are calling for and it is a perfect storm for a denial of Trump. Doesn't matter if the Democrats are as stupid as you claim...it just doesn't matter...
The great thing about this argument is that we will get to see who is right. I have history on my side. You have Trump who has proven to be unconventional...
Trump's only chance is if the Democrats take both houses. |

Matty, did you mean to say "they're called Democrats"? I'm trying to make sense of your tired old arguments, but the 9th grade grammar skills are making it really tough.... |

We will see if they've "lost their way"..next Tuesday. If they don't win the House, I will certainly agree. In the meantime, please be more careful with your grammar. |
