News item:
The percentage of Americans without health insurance has reached its highest point since 2014, when ObamaCare was still in its early years of implementation.
The uninsured rate was 13.7 percent in the fourth quarter of 2018, well above the record-low rate of 10.9 seen in 2016, the last year of President Obama's second term, according to a survey released by Gallup Wednesday.
The nation's uninsured rate was steadily improving. Then Donald Trump and congressional Republicans got to work. https://t.co/YsHHyAjuGl— Steve Benen (@stevebenen) January 23, 2019

Color me unsurprised. Actually, when you look at the overall performance of the Trump administration, there may be claims that jobs are more available and the economy is booming, but I see losses in environmental safety, education, the auto industry, and other protections for the public. And healthcare is more difficult to obtain and pay for. Promises to take down the mega-pharma companies were never fulfilled and prices for prescriptions continue to escalate.
Yeah, another failure by the Trump team. But if you consider it from their point of view, wrecking Obamacare is their big win.
donnah - it's a testament to their sociopathy and definitely in their DNA ("Comfort the comfortable and afflict the afflicted").
