Trump Issues Executive Order Scaling Back Parts of Obamacare

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/20/us/politics/trump-executive-order-obamacare.html?emc=edit_na_20170120&nl=breaking-news&nlid=40561099&ref=cta

The one-page order, which Mr. Trump signed in a hastily arranged Oval Office ceremony shortly before departing for the inaugural balls, gave no specifics about which aspects of the law he wanted to target. But its broad language gave federal agencies wide latitude to change, delay or waive provisions of the law that they deemed overly costly for insurers, drug makers, doctors, states or patients, suggesting that it could have wide-ranging impact, and essentially allowing the dismantling of the law to begin even before Congress moves to repeal it.

they wanted and are getting. They should be celebrating and cheering in the streets. No health care, they will be so happy!
As you say, this is just the beginning of this disaster-presidency. He is going to fail in so many directions, taking the US down with him.

his followers will suffer also, men, women and children......they get what they deserve as far as I'm concerned. I feel very sorry for the people who did not want this dictator in office as potus. What a dangerous clown he is.

He instructed anyone who is ill or dying to go to their nearest dollar store and purchase a bottle of aspirin.
