The sheer number of people Trump pardoned — 1,500+ — and the magnitude of violence many (most?) of them committed means it is statistically likely that a fair number will be revidivists, potentially for more egregious crimes. The pardons should be a top story EVERY DAY

It would absolutely cost more and suck. Even corporate plans, some of which aren't terrible comparatively speaking, will begin to slide because insurance companies will hemorrhage money from the ACA hits.
Also, I don't want to negotiate my insurance. I'm not a fucking insurance lawyer, asshat.

Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"
