Great news Alabama, Mississippi, West Virginia, you just voted away your healthy care. Maybe granny from the BeverlyHillbillies will mix yer’up a potion

WRONG THERE ARE NO CHANGES TO 2019 HEALTH COVERAGE THRU OBAMACARE.

What the GOP has been striving for. I hope 2018 was just a taste of what’s coming in 2020. VoteThemOut

Wrong and inhumane! In all their years in office Repugs have done nothing towards a decent healthcare program for our citizens! Because they accept large sums of bribery $$ from insurance corps - which makes them treasonous traitors!!

Hey, — knock it off with the misleading lede! The judge didn’t even enjoin the ACA and your reporter should know that. Nothing is in limbo yet — and way to sabotage signups in the last few hours of 2019 enrollment!

Of course, Republicans all over the country are putting party before Our Country. Why would we expect anything else from these lowlifes? They're even trying to illegally hold onto control even when they have been voted out.

Bye

Fecking finally someone woke up 🙄

Keep fighting people. Vote those republicans out of office. You can have healthcare or a wall. You choose.

BJ0512 Haha! That headline is just too much!

Yep! See Ya!

Finally a judge getting it right..I am not subsidizing insurance for people who can work and pay for it...al in ng with illegals too

Texas, 🖕🏽

Texas. Carry on.

The judge ruled that it is unconstitutional - could this be a biased banner ➡️ I think so ➡️ FakeNews

Typical Texass

Trump-Ryan First GOP Richest Tax Breaks Trickle-down into Retirement Their Bill HealthCare There is None Zero Nothing Gone Forever (via

This is outrageous! One judge can impact lives of 20 million people? Rs complain about “legislating from bench”& “judicial overreach”. This is exactly that with HUGE consequences. Of course will be appealed but if goes all way to SC, I have zero faith they will block it.

Never. Obama care saves lives. Thats where Halibertion is located with black opps. Id: high and tight or bald by now. No facial hair 5 oclock shadow.

Toxic Cancerous Republicans.

Blame the DemonRATs for not reading this atrocity!!

While he and other Rs in office receive top of the line healthcare at the expense of the taxpayers!

Would love to see what the Judge determined as unconstitutional. Can’t just make the blanket statement without a supporting reason. What clause does it violate?

I think it’s time to give Texas back to Mexico.

Does that mean there's Hope for the other 300 million of us?

Texas, where judges rule against healthcare for millions of people, and also where toddlers represent themselves in court.

It’s blatant disregard for the laws

Leave it to the Shitbox state of Texas to have a judge screw millions of victims..

Outstanding

It's about time they found a judge that wasn't in Obama's pocket.

Dam that constitution thing - ruined government takeover of our healthcare system!!! Barack Obama is like he never really happened!!!

Gotta love it when a single judge overturns laws and executive actions based on unconstitutionality. Just like the 9th circuit court judges overturning immigration executive action. Good for the goose is good for the gander....

Somebody needs to remind the President and GOP they lost the house because they were threatening health care coverage for people with Pre-existing conditions.

The Texas Judge is hyperpartisan. His decision has no merit. What they are turning to do, after the Supreme Court upheld it twice already, is to throw the ACA before the new S.C. and try again. Republicans do not respect the law and will change judges to get different results.

It takes a special kind of human to take people’s life line away. God’s watching

And is this judge going to pay for the healthcare people need? Nope. Of course it happened in Texas.

Just do it in Texas see how much they cry

I wouldn’t call it limbo. They could probably call any health care providers and get it cheaper.

DavidCoss A weak link to extort.

Sounds like the judge ruled the action of striking the penalty as unconstitutional. 'Obamacare must be scrapped because Congress struck the penalty for failing to obtain insurance coverage.'

Thank god someone finally pulled this plug on this crap.

For what? What is the alternative?

Excellent Erasing ALL things Obama

The big lie (OBAMACARE) Barak Hussein Obama had sold to the American people through deception and manipulation is now on a death knell. Soon it will be in the obituary with the other unlawful 'executive orders' he issued during his corrupt tenure. A crap deserves to be scrapped!

You mean 1 activist judge can stop healthcare for the whole nation. I'm sure our potus doesn't like that.

Finally

Obamacare is imploding and has turned into one of the biggest errors in history. Just look at the sky rocketing costs. It’s time for reform, but Democraps are too stupid to do it.

Bernie2020 Sanders2020

One of 43’s appointees

Mean.

Freaking Texas

Please tell us the judges name. We will retweet and defeat that judge

Good now we can get rid of that global agenda CRAP and make doctors earn their patients by being good doctors!

Don't mislead people! Obamacare coverage is useless. Doctors won't accept it

Tomorrow's News Today: soon-to-be former Florida gov. RedTideRick Scott takes his talent for grift to D.C., where as paid for senator he'll apply his Medicare fraud skills to the task of dismantling affordable health care...

Well done, SenatorCollins Your grand bargain a year ago has come back to take health care away from 20 million people. You must be so proud.

pixiedust5135 Please get rid of Obamacare. Horrible health insurance. Get something everyone can afford without disgustingly high deductibles.

Not surprised the Judge is from Texas. Probably a trump supporter too. Sad that 20 million people can lose insurance.

Simple solution .... lower the age of eligibility for Medicare to... 0. End of story. Then raise taxes to pay for it. On the bright side, we eliminate most employment tied health insurance.

Supreme court ruled June 2012 ACA is NOT unconstitutional

1sch

It is fantastic to hear a market based approach to healthcare coverage is unconstitutional. This means the only way to protect americans from bankruptcy due to illness is medicare-for-all.

This is the MassMurderer Judge Reed O'Connor of Texas

I bet this is a distraction tactic to take eyes off the crooks and criminal treasonous Republicans

TEXAS, need we say more?

Looks like the individual mandate goes back in then

Politico your bias is showing

Let's go back to the uninsured getting primary care in the country's emergency rooms...the most expensive healthcare in the world. Brilliant.

Well, the republicans got what they wanted. If it stands, watch our death rate go up. All for a few lousy dollars. People will soon realize when the pre existing clause goes away, they will die, go bankrupt, or just pay a heck of a lot more. They think its expensive now? Wait.

Just wait until Someone finally explains to Bubba that Obamacare and The Affordable Care Act (which he likes) are the same thing🙃

This is kind of like Dems judge shopping in Hawaii or California to shut down the current POTUS. You guys should really stop setting bad precedent like this and the nuclear option in the Senate.

Merry Christmas to all from Donald Trump and his merry crew of grinches. !

What dumpster did they dig this judge out of to sign off on this?

20 million Americans? Only a little over 20 million have signed up so far. Remove Medicaid from the equation and there has never been 20 million a year sign up on the exchanges.

YES!

Let's have medicare for all and call it Trumpcare ;)

Ha ha ha say goodbye to the Obama era. Or is it error?

Obamacare was already dead in Illinois where average deductible is $6,000.00/year and patients can not afford tests and medication.

A federal judge threw the safety of 330 million Americans in limbo repeatedly by ruling Trump’s ...... You get the idea.

Obamacare , the worse law since LBJ's Great Society Act & the 'War on Poverty' created millions of poor people. A big victory for freedom, liberty, and America!

This is called a partisan hack

Wow we are fucked.

Actually POLITICO... it was ruled UNCONSTITUTIONAL... why can’t you use the proper terms? Seems as though you are softening the Blow.... MAGA

Did I miss something? Didn’t the Supreme Court already rule on this?

Amazing what black hearted people can do to others. It’s almost like choosing who lives and who does not.

The ruling is ludicrous! If the 'Individual Mandate' was so critical to the constitutionality of Obamacare, it only makes sense that it should have been unconstitutional for Republicans to remove it unless the entire program was replaced because the program is a federal statute.

It’s about damn time.

miggiepdx More than 20 million. We're ALL covered by ACA protections, even those of us who have coverage through our jobs

Texas... where the bull flies

nice. maybe the law itself threw heath coverage (not to mention freedom of association, commerce) into limbo. Leave it to Politico to be transparent with its bias right in the headline

Rouge judge.

MedicareForAll

MAGA 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

This won’t stand upon appeal. And it’s too bad he didn’t do this before the election—Texas would have gone blue without a doubt.

😂😂😂 Trumpet judge. Lock him up.

Wonder how much he got paid.

Well, you have the current President committing corporate ISIS attacks against our health system. Now that would make allow of folks scared to sign up.

What? No no no no no ! Just enrolled our family for first time in US after 20 years of excellent care under the national health system of Italy. More convinced then ever that Italians do it best.

Awesome 😎😎😎!!!

Obamacare is a disastrous government scam.

Yeah Judges aren’t partisan, are they?

...Burn The Mother DOWN!!!

If this lawsuit and ruling succeed, they will only speed the eventual passage of Medicare for All.

This is NOT a ruling. Its An activist judges declaration.

It’s your responsibility to inform Americans, not to create panic!

stop it SCOTUS already ruled/ just stop.

It's about time some1 seen just how corrupt Obama is & this is just the start of the investigation of the Obama administration. It's going 2 get a lot worse 4 Obama. Wait until they find out he's not a American citizen. Then they r going 2 have 2 scrap all of obamas administratio

CindyDayTrip When are they going to STOP this IDIOCY 🤦‍♀️

Sewing chaos, another mark of authoritarian regimes

PTT4579 Lmao

I mean, I'm all for fixing our healthcare and making it available to everyone. But Obama care IS unconstitutional unless you argue that the government has the right to tax its citizens, and Obama said a million times that it's not a tax. That's just a legal reality.

Dopeeeeeee right after i sign up i fucking love these people 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
