HOW SUPPORTERS ARE CALLING FOR VETO OF GOP'S AHCA 2017! (1452 hits)
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE!
Hundreds of President Trump's most ardent supporters are calling on him to veto the GOP's Obamacare replacement bill, known as the American Health Care Act.
The proposed legislation, introduced in the House on March 6, would repeal key parts of the Affordable Care Act, including the individual mandate, but would introduce new heavy charges on those who allow their health care plans to lapse. Some popular aspects of President Obama's signature law would remain in place, like the requirement to cover those with pre-existing conditions, and coverage of dependents until the age of 26.
Some of Donald Trump's fans on Reddit and Twitter saw the proposal as a betrayal of what Trump and the GOP promised them, deeming the legislation "Obamacare lite," and "swamp legislation." Back in January, Trump promised "insurance for everybody" under his Obamacare replacement plan, though the GOP plan allows insurers to charge elderly Americans up to five times as much as younger people.
