I’ve never understood why America doesn’t have a decent health care system. And then America voted for Trump, and everyone appears shocked at what he has done…

There is something very wrong with American attitudes.

Depends where you look, but most of his voters don't know and/or don't care. I think the only thing he's done to rile them up so far this term is his recent comments on the Epstein case.

There has been an explosion of enrollments from red states in recent years, getting hit with a massive increase in monthly expenses will probably not go down so well: https://www.kff.org/policy-watch/where-aca-marketplace-enrol...

I don't think they'll enjoy a price increase, but I also don't have confidence that the average Trump voter will blame him for it. Most of them are already distrustful of government and this will just validate that. Of course Obamacare failed, Trump was right all along, it failed because too many illegals, etc.
