Marc Fleenor- Trump vs. Obamacare

Marc Fleenor

          Within this last article I came to find out that Obamacare hasn't been completely repealed despite Trump's claims. Trump had been a very strong advocate for abolishing and destroying what he called "a tragedy to the emerican public" especially during his campaign for presidency. However ii was shoked to read here that although he has repealed parts of Obamacare; he is also enforcing and revising parts to pu in effect. This is a great surprise since he was so outspoken for "fixing" healthcare we have. Now Republicans are enfuriated and feeling mislead by Trump's actions and accusations. The affordable Care Act. was reapealed yet things still run the same way as before. The second reason Republicans and Trump supporters are upset and confused is because he also claims to have taken down Obamacare which isn't completely true. It makes me think of how much he really knew about Obamacare before choosing to repeal it. If we look back in history; Trump use to identify as a democrat less than a decade ago. So I also think it's ironic and funny to see his congressmen dumbfounded and scrambling to guess Trump's next move. In time, we will see if Trump will retract his statement about single-handedly repealing Obamacare or if he will follow through on that claim.
