If At First You Don't Succeed in Congress, Sign an Executive Order

from MOMocrats · host MOMocrats

Trump promised to get rid of Obamacare on Day One - and soon discovered what the rest of us who pay attention already knew: Healthcare is complicated. And it isn't easy to erase a law that has helped millions of Americans obtain health insurance for the first time, even when you've gerrymandered the rules so you can do it with a simple majority. So he's taken to destroying the law by shortening the enrollment period, eliminating budget, taking the enrollment website down for maintenance on weekends when people are most likely to use it... and now, refusing to pay the subsidies that help people pay for the higher premiums that have resulted from all the previous measures. MOMocrats Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills have a few things to say about that, as well as reports that this president's mental state is increasingly erratic... and how those whispers about invoking the 25th admendment are getting louder -- from actual Republicans. Also an extensive conversation on the fallout from the Harvey Weinstein revelations. Politics from the progressive point of view, produced by Engender Media Group. Follow us on [email protected]@[email protected]
