Pence: Trump to push repeal of Obamacare

Pence: Trump to push repeal of Obamacare
By PATRICK TEMPLE-WEST 11/20/16 09:47 AM EST

President-elect Donald Trump will prioritize repealing President Barack Obama's landmark health care law right "out of the gate” once he takes office, Vice President-elect Mike Pence said Sunday.

Quick action to eliminate the Affordable Care Act of 2010 would set up an immediate showdown with congressional Democrats.

getting Trump elected.

Oh, right, they all have healthcare through their employers. It comes with the 6- and 7-figure salaries.

sense of empathy either. We may well find a civil war breaking out as Trump casts his net around America and what it once was.

He seems really evil. Even more so than Chaney. Probably because he wraps his evil in Christianity, whereas Chaney never gave of a religious vibe, at least not in my opinion.

OK are more delusional than those voting Trump in. There is an evil agenda planned. It's like a house of horrors and each brings their own list. Yep, many use religion to mask their lust for persecution and harming others.

Trump and the republicans indirectly while praying to their mammon god in church every Sunday.

Either way you are dead.
