The Duce lies some more about health insurance

I suppose there is some consolation in the fact that he shot his own stupid white trash voters in the foot, and didn't only hurt lots of others who knew better than to think he really had their backs.

Trump responds to critics of healthcare order with claim 'millions' will benefit

Donald Trump on Saturday heralded his latest moves to undermine Barack Obama’s signature healthcare law, tweeting that “millions of people” would benefit from his executive order on access to cheaper insurance and his scrapping of federal subsidies.

Analysts, physician groups, state attorneys general and Trump’s political opponents disputed the president’s views and said millions of people would in fact suffer, because his actions threaten to boost premiums and rattle insurance markets under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

An analysis by the Associated Press showed that nearly 70% of those benefiting from the federal subsidies live in states Trump won last November. 

One Floridian interviewed by the AP said Trump’s cut would be “a death sentence” for some.
