Corporate welfare
Before Obamacare, American healthcare was one of the greatest billionaire-producing industries ever. The money rolled in as desperate people who got sick would pay until bankrupt to get access to doctors and hospitals, even while insurance companies took an ever-increasing share of healthcare dollars.
President Obama had the gall to put the well-being of patients over corporate profits. Trumpcare will restore the old priorities.
