Political malpractice: Trump's new attack on ACA

President Donald Trump, having defeated those striving to tar him with colluding with the Russian government to win the White House, was expected to devote all his energy to a long, needling victory lap.

Do Americans have right to health care?

Between his exclamations of “total exoneration,” President Trump has spent much of the week stirring the pot about Obamacare. Here, for example, is what he tweeted Thursday: “The Republican Party will become the Party of Great Health care! ObamaCare is a disaster, far too expensive and deductibility ridiculously high _ virtually unusable! Moving forward in Courts and Legislatively!”
