President Obama took a well-deserved moment to gloat about the resilience of his landmark Affordable Care Act, poking fun at his successor by pointing out that the law is more popular than Trump is.
\n\u201cThe Affordable Care Act has never been more popular \u2014 and it\u2019s more popular than the current president\u201d boasted the former President at a private function last night. He went on to predict serious difficulties for Republicans planning to try to amend or otherwise alter the legislation colloquially known as \u201cObamacare\u201d due to its popularity with the public.
\nTrump is finishing his first 100 days with an approval rating of 43%, according to PublicPolicyPolling, the lowest of any first-term president, while 47% of voters support Obamacare. 51% of voters still wish we had Obama as our president.
\nTrump and the GOP\u2019s efforts to repeal and \u201creplace\u201d Obamacare were stymied for a second time this week as Democrats threatened to shut down the government if they brought up the enormously unpopular and morally repulsive collection of corporate handouts entitled the \u201cAmerican Healthcare Act\u201d for a vote.
\nObama definitely has reason to celebrate.
