It’s time we start reframing this Obamacare will explode spin/nonsense/LIE coming from Donald Trump and his cronies. The fact of the matter is, it will only explode by the hand of Donald Trump, Tom Price and his entire administration.
Case in point, Arkansas.
60,000 Americans could lose healthcare in Arkansas next year, if Donald Trump’s administration approves the new Medicaid Expansion rules that Asa Hutchinson wants.
The new draconian rules will cover less people. In the article the administration say this meets their "objectives”. So instead of being really poor to get Medicaid, you’ll have to be dirt poor to get Medicaid and 60,000 lose healthcare in the process.
Let’s call this what it really is, Donald Trump and his entire administration are going to sabotage Obamacare so it will explode. It’s very important we point out this example, to push back against their LIE it explodes on it’s own.
Obamacare will only explode at their hands. Arkansas is proof of that.

Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R) on Monday announced proposed changes to the state’s Medicaid expansion program that would dramatically reduce health-care access for the state’s low-income families.
The governor’s proposal would lower the income requirement for Medicaid eligibility from 138 percent of the federal poverty level to 100 percent. That change would reduce the income cutoff for an individual from $16,643 to $12,060, and reduce the income cutoff for a family of four from $33,948 to $24,600.
If Hutchison’s amendments are approved by the federal government, around 60,000 Arkansas residents enrolled in Medicaid would no longer be eligible for the program.
“I have spoken with Secretary Price and the Trump Administration about our plans to file these waiver amendments, and they’ve conveyed to me that the requests are consistent with the overall objectives of reform efforts in Washington,” Hutchinson said in a statement.
