Trump in his first 100 days

Trump in his first 100 days
He has made many promises. These will be in the first 100 days. 

Making life easier for the middle classes with a 35% tax cut and reducing business tax rate.
Begin removing "criminal illlegal immigrants".
To "restore security and constitutional rule of law". 
Suspend "immigration from terror prone regions".
Cancel payment to the united nations climate change programs.

(He considers Climate change some that China made up.) Ignoring science is arrogant and sad. 

Now there are several anti-Trump demonstrations across the country.

RE: Trump in his first 100 days
And let's not forget the repealing of the Affordable Care Act, leaving 21 to 25 million Americans without healthcare. The ACA was not perfect, and there were problems with the tax that came with it and the affordability for certain income brackets. But repealing it will put us in the wrong direction; if the ACA gets repealed next year then the hopes for one day instituting a single-payer system are virtually gone. If Hillary had won, I know the ACA would have stayed, and probably been improved upon.

But yeah, the environmental consequences of his presidency will be sad. He wants to put a climate change denier in charge of the EPA, as means of slowly degrading the EPA until he can just abolish it. Disgusting.

Surprised he didn't plan to invade Poland while he's at it.

What's Trumpcare going to look like? Is there a definite plan, or just reversing the ACA?

RE: Trump in his first 100 days
ACA not being 'perfect' is sugar coating it.

My premium last year was over $12,000, and that was an over 40% increase from the year before.

This year, my plan is canceled and I have to switch to another that has drastically higher copay/out of pocket/deductibles so even with my premium staying the same (for worse coverage), I need to set aside $8,000 to $10,000 if I want to use it.

So, what if my premium goes up 40% next year? That's $17,000. Year after that is over $23,000, then $33,000. And how much lucre do I need to set aside to actually be able to use it ??

When do I get to say 'uncle' on this ?
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

As far as I've ever heard, he has no plan to replace it with anything else.  If he did, that's be a good thing, and no good things come from that orange lump.
He only plans to repeal it.  There is really nothing to stop him, either.

That's pretty steep, but I don't know your annual income, so I cannot compare.

Clinton had plans to reform it.  Now I guess poor people are back to just being SOL.

He can't find it on a map. Wouldn't be surprised if he missed his inauguration for not being able to find DC on a map either.

RE: Trump in his first 100 days
Oh yeah, and since he'll slash medicaid, I'm about to be paying for my medicare again. Because old and disabled people can afford hundreds of dollars for the shittiest health care plan in America that does not even cover things like pap smears. Hey 50 year old ladies, we don't care if you get cervical cancer!

Fortunately for me, that isn't likely to take effect until after my hubby graduates and gets a job, so hopefully we'll be able to pay for my $120 a month health care plan at that point. As it is, I cannot afford to see a doctor even with the premium paid. My costs for a 15 minute med check after medicare pays it's portion is $80. The cost to get a full check up is over $200, AFTER medicare pays. Great deal, eh? My husband and I haven't even had preventative checkups in years. I just a get my med check twice a year and try to cope.

Trump won't fix this. congress does not care. They'll just take away the little protection the poor have, which I guess will be some relief to the middle class.
