Bit by Bit, Trump Methodically Undoing Obama Policies

WASHINGTON (AP) — Amid the turmoil over staff shake-ups, blocked travel bans and the Russia cloud hanging overhead, President Donald Trump is steadily plugging away at a major piece of his agenda: Undoing Obama.

From abortion to energy to climate change and personal investments, Trump is keeping his promises in methodically overturning regulations and policies adopted when Barack Obama was president.

It hasn’t all been smooth sailing.

Trump recently failed to fulfill his pledge to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, which continues to stand as Obama’s most recognizable domestic policy achievement. Trump and House Speaker Paul Ryan couldn’t persuade enough fellow Republicans to back new health care legislation last month. Ryan pulled the measure just before a scheduled House vote.

Trump has had better outcomes in other areas.

Obamacare will meet its fate in the near future. I only hope that medical insurance will become more sensible and affordable for those who need it. As it stands for some folks, they are paying a car payment every month for insurance that they don't need or want. Alacart insurance is what I feel is needed, not blanket coverage.

Just my two cents, I could be wrong.

Don't worry before long the people will be begging to get rid of Obamacare. Trump will repeal and replace it. But it will take longer than expected to get everything worked out so as to be good for everybody.
