As promised, President Trump is unraveling the unilateral – and largely unconstitutional – orders that were set in place by the previous eight years, to the delight of his supporters.
Anyone surprised at this should take a second look. During the campaign, Trump labeled Obama a “disaster,” a “catastrophe,” and “the most ignorant president in our history.”
Obamacare
President Trump promised to “repeal and replace” Obamacare as soon as “day one.” With a recalcitrant Congress, that proved impossible, but President Trump managed to knock out one of the three legs of the Affordable Care Act.
Within the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, Trump and Congress managed to do away with the so-called “individual mandate,” which required Americans to get health insurance or pay a penalty.
The president also used his executive power to end cost sharing-reduction payments, government payments under Obamacare that helped insurers offset the cost of providing healthcare to some of the poorest Americans.
