Trump’s gutting of Obamacare is as illegal as it is cruel

Erwin Chemerinsky writes for The Sacramento Bee, Oct. 17, 2017

President Donald Trump’s elimination of subsidies to help lower income Americans afford health care is illegal and just plain mean. The result is that millions of people may lose their health care coverage, but with no savings in cost to the federal government. This is simply an attempt by the president to accomplish by executive fiat what he could not do through Congress: the gutting of Obamacare.
