Shortly after his
inauguration, President Trump issued an executive order titled ‘Executive Order
Minimizing the Economic Burden of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care
Act Pending Repeal’ which announced that he intends to go through with his
campaign pledge to get rid of law that has allowed millions of Americans to
finial get health insurance and care.
Then yesterday, POLITICO reported that according to sources at Health
and Human Services and on Capitol Hill, the Trump administration has pulled the
plug on all Obamacare outreach and advertising in the crucial final days of the
2017 enrollment season, even ads that had already been placed and paid
for. Joining me today to talk all about
the Republican efforts to sabotage the Affordable Care Act and how this will
affect millions of Americans is Joshua Peck, the former Chief Marketing Officer
at HealthCare.gov.
This sure has been another crazy week in
politics what with millions of Americans taking to the streets last Saturday as
part of The Women’s March and President Trump announcing that he intends to go
through with his pledge to build wall on our southern border. Joining me today to help us wrap up the week
in politics is Eleanor Clift the
Washington correspondent for The Daily Beast, where she covers the White House and writes about politics and
culture.
