    It was bad news for the people, good news for the wealthy elites in the health insurance industry who literally wrote the bill. People seem to forget who wrote that bill and what their motives might have been.

    I pay for the street in front of my house although I find it sub par. Should I not pay for it? If I don't, would the government be correct in punishing me for failure to pay?

    I could have been better insurance, it should have been better insurance but Republicans and Democrats in Republican districts refused to allow any other solution. Now, we are faced with making improvements or scrapping it and coming up with something better that meets the needs of the poor.

    Your health is more important than the street in front of your house. The taxes you pay should be used to improve your quality of life, and collectively, the lives of others who pay in. In all reality there is ample tax revenue to care for all our health as well as fix our streets and infrastructure. Our politicians in this country on both sides are currently engaging in taxation without representation. The citizens are given a small fraction of the tax revenue to scratch and claw over while the rest is handed over to contractors, bankers and businessmen who, in return, scratch the backs of the politicians. We are being sold down the river and this country will be a banana republic in no time if it continues this way.

    It was a Republican plan and it was all that anyone could get passed in the Senate and House. They had no other choice except to do nothing.

    He is such a bald face liar. And he does it several times a day.
    I just can't figure out how anyone could be so gullible as to vote for that con man.
    He's a gangster occupying the White House. I mean, the White House" for God's sake.

    Not certain what you're referring to. What is he lying about?

    Didn't you read this in the root topic post?
    Trump tells 9/11 first responders: 'I was down there also'

    He was in his office phoning into the news to brag about how he had the tallest building in New York again after the twin towers fell. Also a lie. He didn't give a shit about the victims. He didn't say anything about them or offer his thoughts for their families.

    Days later...and not to help, but to do interviews. He should never associate himself with first responders.

    Oh, OK.

    Nevertheless, he signed the bill.

    As an election publicity stunt. Nevertheless, I am glad he signed it. Those people are heroes and deserve that money.
