Even Trump wants to extend Obamacare tax credits—but Republicans stopped him (www.motherjones.com)

After teasing a plan by President Donald Trump to extend Affordable Care Act premium subsidies—currently on track to end within weeks—the White House has indefinitely delayed the announcement under pressure from congressional Republicans, MS NOW reported on Monday.

The last-minute change of plan signals the GOP’s priorities: the party has fought to cut or repeal the ACA since it entered law in 2010, and was uncompromising in opposing the subsidies during the record-breaking government shutdown that ended earlier in November.

Trump knows that this is his base that will and has been effected. He also knows that this will lose a ton of people at the midterms. They have booed him at his rallies over this, he knows.

Hey republicans, there isn't going to be something that replaces the ACA, their intention is to get rid of all healthcare for the people. They would have proposed something in his first term if they had any intention of providing healthcare. You've been tricked again.
