The bill eliminates the individual mandate language of the Affordable Care Act (aka ObamaCare) that requires people to either get health insurance or pay a fee. The purpose of this requirement is to incentivize younger, healthier people to participate in the program in order to keep premiums down for everybody, as well as to be certain they were covered in the event of a medical necessity.<\/p>\n<p>Well, now we have proof that the effort to repeal the individual mandate was deliberately hidden in order to deceive the American people. And that proof came straight out of the mouth of the Deceiver-in-Chief, Donald Trump. At the cabinet meeting held Wednesday morning to gloat about the bill&#8217;s passage, Trump raised the issue of ObamaCare and how this the bill addressed it:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;When the individual mandate is being repealed, that means ObamaCare is being repealed. [&#8230;] We have essentially repealed ObamaCare. And we&#8217;ll come up with something that will be much better. Whether it&#8217;s block grants or whether it&#8217;s taking what we have and doing something terrific. But ObamaCare has been repealed in this bill.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>First of all, the repeal of the individual mandate does not repeal ObamaCare. To be sure, it is a serious blow that will cause premiums to go up for everybody. And apparently Trump thinks that&#8217;s worth bragging about. Yet he can&#8217;t articulate how he would replace ObamaCare, other than to lamely proclaim some mysterious <em>&#8220;terrific&#8221;<\/em> new program. It&#8217;s typical of his ignorant and childish rhetoric that employs vague language and superlatives that say literally nothing at all.<\/p>\n<p>But that wasn&#8217;t even the worst part of his brief comments. He went on to make a surprising confession about the intentional swindle he incorporated into this initiative (video below):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;We didn&#8217;t want to bring it up. I tell people specifically be quiet with the fake news media because I don&#8217;t want them talking too much about it. Cause I didn&#8217;t know how people would&#8230;but now that it&#8217;s approved I can say the individual mandate on healthcare, where you had to pay not to have insurance &#8211; think of that one, you pay not to have insurance. The individual mandate has been repealed.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Have you ever heard a president, or any national leader, say out loud that they purposefully withheld information from the public in order to fool them into supporting a dishonestly presented bill? Trump&#8217;s admission explicitly notes that he directed his administration to suppress this news by concealing it from the media. That&#8217;s an overt acknowledgement of fraud.<\/p>\n<p>Trump must not be allowed to get away with this. Come November 2018 he needs to be rebuked by voters returning control of Congress to the Democrats who can then proceed with impeachment hearings. Unless, that is, special counsel Robert Mueller comes to America&#8217;s rescue before then.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-video\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&quot;Obamacare has been repealed in this bill&#8230;the individual mandate has been repealed,&quot; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/POTUS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@POTUS<\/a> says <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/9gLi9SzfmT\">https:\/\/t.co\/9gLi9SzfmT<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/8MFn3OnSX6\">pic.twitter.com\/8MFn3OnSX6<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; CBS Evening News (@CBSEveningNews) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CBSEveningNews\/status\/943530328597069825?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 20, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It took nearly a year after the election of Donald Trump for the Republican controlled Congress to pass a significant piece of legislation.
