Judge Nap: Trump’s executive order: It’s a first-ever, ‘TRULY revolutionary'

[rprprs]

Fox News contributor Judge Andrew Napolitano said that President Trump’s executive order easing the burden of Obamacare was “truly revolutionary.”

He explained that the order instructed insurance companies to side with the individual over the government.

I don't get it. Insurance companies look out for themselves, not the individual or the government.

Anyway, if it's forthcoming that I am not required to have the insurance I never had, don't want now, and will never want, then it'll be something. Until then, no interest.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Yes, and the article misquotes the judge on that point. The directive was not addressed to insurance companies, but rather to federal agencies.

(The video linked in the OP will make this clear.)

Yeah, the judge has to be more savvy than that.

Why were people so enamored with this ass clown (Don Trump)?* He repeatedly said he will "Repeal and replace Obamacare." Repeal AND replace Obamacare. Repeal AND replace Obamacare.

I am looking for the repeal only. Guess people missed that. :rolleyes:

This f*cking cocksucker will just restructure it to enrich his insurance buddies.

Tis true, tis sad; tis sad tis true.

Well, if the mandate goes away, I won't be enriching anyone unless they've earned it through competition and having the best coverage plans for the best prices.

Then again, as some have pointed out, the pre-existing condition requirement, if it remains, could crash the insurance companies, and unfortunately, the 'cat's out of the bag' on that one.

Nap has to be very careful here. The important part of any executive order is NOT what it does, but the precedent it sets.

I'm not sure this sets any new precedents since the executive has always maintained their discretion as to which laws are enforced, but I do worry about how a future executive may interpret this. (it's pretty far-reaching... "Any fiscal burden?")

DJ DonMaster Trump is going to make insurance great again!!!

[undergroundrr]

The executive order should be used to:
a) Reverse ALL previous executive orders.
b) Ban any future executive orders.

If they repeal the unconstitutional mandate portion of the ACA, I'll be happy.

The rest is just more big government bullshit

[Zippyjuan]

The order is very vague so people don't know what it really means. It also calls for :


it is imperative for the executive branch to ensure that the law is being efficiently implemented,

Invest in mortuaries.

And for those that had high hopes, Judge Nap is not on Trump's SCOTUS list.
