As someone clocking 62+ hours a week within a health insurance company in the public health division, this is false as forget.

You have to pay like 1,000 in health care.

If you choose not to have healthcare there are 500 dollar fines. 500 dollars I could have saved in case I got into an accident in the loving first place.

Right, so let's go back to when around 80% of bankruptcies were due to health insurance bills. Not to mention, the sudden shift will cause a massive spike in bankruptcies.

If you're crying for deregulation and gutting of the ACA in this context, you are a stuff human being.

Trymos:
lol @ people who think this is a good idea from anybodys side

if you're bitching about obamacares pricing then why in the holy mother of ass are you saying it's a good thing to strip subsidies from it???

you know subsidies make the costs lower right???
literally all this will do is make your health insurance even more expensive

SWAT One:
Because they think "Taxation is Theft" to such a hyperbolic and broad-brushed degree that they will launch on tirades to reduce them regardless of what effects they will have, despite the fact that they no doubt benefit from what those taxes pay for. Most public health recipients regarding Medicaid are in states like TX, AR, TN, MS, AZ, NJ, NC & NY. With the exception of NJ &NY, these are red states.

Neither of those things will happen. Democrats are confident that Obamacare will stay in place after the last failed repeal, and Annoying Orange isn't going to knock millions of people off their insurance just to make a point to Democrats. As far as I know, he does want to be reelected.

Ipquarx:
It's funny because he's literally saying "If you don't repeal the bill that helps millions of poor people afford healthcare so we can replace it with an even worse bill, we'll just make it worse anyways"

There's literally no way in which this can be interpreted as a good thing (Including the interpretation that he's bluffing), except to the circlejerkers over at r/T_D who take everything Donald says as the word of loving god.
