Trump trying to erase ACA...
https://www.cnn.com/2019/03/26/opinions/the-real-reason-trump-wants-to-break-obamacare-filipovic/index.htmlI called this immediately... it is about Trump's irrational hate
Like a petulant and implacable child still stewing over a toy he was forced to share, Trump has put all reason aside. He's not interested in improving lives or making this country better. He seeks only to destroy. The sole thing he cares to build is his own ego.
Thanks to a far-right judge in Texas who invalidated the individual mandate of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) -- the part of the law that requires most Americans to buy health insurance, keeping costs down for everyone and insuring better health outcomes -- the Trump Department of Justice is emboldened, and is now asking the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to wipe out the entire law.
Does Trump care that he is asking a court to throw the country into chaos and set us back? Does Attorney General William Barr, who pledged to uphold the laws of the land but is instead acting as a lapdog to the president? No. These men are agents of annihilation.
Republicans aren't even pretending to offer an alternative. They have no vision or plan, only a desire to harm their own countrymen because they see Democrats as avowed enemies instead of fellow public servants with a different worldview. They're only interested in breaking what their despised opponents built.

The SOB is a fucking sadist besides being a sociopathic narcissist. What a sick, pathetic subhuman.
Also, as I watch Lawrence O'Donnell MSNBC (where I just learned of Barr's position on this topic) a pundit summed it up well. He said that the plan may be to get the Dems and the ACA supporters to focus on losing ALL their healthcare options and drawing their attention away from Medicare For All (political move).
Be prepared to fight, call your reps, call Indivisible and plan for your future.
