It has truly been an unexpected surprise to watch the Trump admin perform thus far. In totality, I am fairly confident to call it now: we are witnessing a very rare event of effective and beneficial leadership, one that we may not witness again in our lifetime. That is all I wanted to post. Good luck to each of you in making the best of these good times.

Remember $5 gas? I do. It was under Obama’s reign of terror. $3.50 seems like a bargain still to me!
Are you saying that the President has no effect on gas prices?

Yes, that was my problem with the mandate. It's wrong to force people to pay a small set of private companies whatever they say you have to pay or face fines.
It was a tax which we were obligated to pay to certain favored companies.
as we all are adults here (hopefully), we know that Obamacare was a giveaway to insurance companies.

Since the people who didn’t have insurance were the ones who had to buy it, they often couldn’t afford to budget 12% of their income for that one thing. And so, effectively it became a tax on the uninsured.
That’s how it affected my parents anyway, before they went on Medicare.

It's all about trapping people and forcing them to pay.
You can make a great product, but that takes work. If you're well connected, it's much easier to just use the government to take the money.

But the uninsured didn't have $1000 / month for a $5000 deductible shitty ass plan, either.
You do know that Emergency care in US is mandatory ( if not entirely free) , which means that uninsured normally ended up in Emergency costing the Govt

It’s only free if you’re an illegal immigrant. Otherwise they come after you with the bill. This is known. Stop trying to obfuscate the issue.
