The Trump administration now believes that the entire Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) should be struck down as “unconstitutional.”. This policy shift is described as a “total bombshell, which could have dire consequences for millions of people.” It’s risky for Trump and the Republicans since in 2018, the Democrats campaigned — and won — on their health care pledges, which matter a good deal more to voters than the Mueller report.
Obamacare was signed into law on 23 March 2010 at 11.56 am in Washington, DC. Tr Uranus is this week moving to form an explosive and insecure square to the Mars; and tr Neptune has one more undermining square to the Jupiter before this year end. So it’ll be an edgy year; with a few additional hiccups along the way as tr Uranus trines the Pluto and sextiles the Moon from June onwards.
But it’s a pretty unbudgeable chart with a Saturn Pluto square tied into the Sun and Moon. By late 2021 Solar Arc Jupiter is conjunct the 10th house Uranus which will bring a sigh of relief and a lucky turn of events.
A bumpy ride for a while, sure; and the December Capricorn Eclipse will have a considerable impact and feel like a crisis. But the astrology aside, it’d be a real vote loser and for that reason may be quietly sidelined or heavily diluted at some point.
On the surface it does seem nasty, to pull the rug out from under affordable healthcare/Obamacare. But just because the Obama-era plan was labelled “affordable”, doesn’t mean it actually is. As I and many Americans realize, “affordable healthcare” is monstrously expensive. The plan isn’t well conceived and does not make health care accessible or affordable to everyone. Scrapping the phony “affordable” scheme might be a step in the right direction. Would be great if the US could engineer a plan more in step with other developed countries, rather than having health care linked to people’s employment. Trump often functions to expose the ugly truth below the surface, so of course it’s not inspirational or remotely pleasant.
The world is still very much in the Neptune zone, with Mercury about to station very close by. Accordingly, this is a fantasy-land “move” going nowhere. Still, it’s a sop to those who can’t abide anything associated with Obama.
I note Mercury – Neptune are quite close to Jupiter (on the MC) of the legislation chart — Jupiter very strong in Pisces. So while the overall medical system continues to unravel, the legislation will survive.
The legislation chart has other strengths — Moon in Cancer (very strong popular support) conjunct the Declaration of Independence Jupiter, and Ascendant conjunct D of I Venus: testifying to the reality of Obamacare as an expensive but enduring non-solution to the long-running crisis in disease-care costs.
Why this is so explosive is that, even in a boom time, fewer companies are offering traditional jobs with full benefits packages, so more and more people have no choice but to job themselves out as “consultants” or “contractors,” making livings task by task on a freelance basis. Even the big box stores like WalMart offer very few jobs that break the 40-hour-week barrier, which is the legal threshold for a benefits package. These are the people who depend on ObamaCare (two in my own family, some in just about every American family). They’re getting it in the neck, and large numbers of these voters are Trump supporters. Go figure.
Again, it’s all about Trump and his scorched earth policies. His current enemies remain Hillary and Obama, and will stop at nothing to wipe them from the planet. More articles are appearing online about how President Two Scoops needs an enemy upon which to focus his rage. Collateral damage is inconsequential. GOP members can afford to do this – remove any residue of leftist or liberal support as they have their massed inertia. It’s a horrible situation – reminds me of 3rd world dictator movements.

Republicans have already started airing commercial spots against obamacare on our major city television station.
With Regulus in Virgo, healthcare seems to be emerging as a theme that can make or break a king. Trump already experienced the his worst drop of popularity when Republicans tried to repeal ACA early at his presidency. Therefore, making this an issue just one year before Democrats get to present their generally speaking well thought of plans in televised debates and eventually in a debate against Trump is such a stupid step politically speaking that I’m almost wondering if this is intentional sabotage. Could even be self sabotage, since losing 2020 Election on “bad advice” on healthcare rather than what’s on that Mueller Report and may not be criminal, but would make Trump look bad, would be what a NPD considers “a honorable retreat”. Remember how Trump business fails never were his fault? And how Tillerson, Mattis and even Kelly were ousted from WH? When things started going south, he always set up someone he could ultimately blame for the failure.
Or perhaps an over-reaction from an unstable personality so aroused by his Mueller ‘success’ that it sent his mania off into the stratosphere?
Yes, could be this too, since we don’t know what spin his advisers have given to this for Trump. But I doubt Trump himself really cares about Healthcare, and would gladly accept ACA, word to word, if it was renamed. Repealing ACA was mostly a Libertarian Republican battle, and one they got burned for. Therefore, I think that when Trump goes, he will blame people who pushed “bad advise” on healthcare. He has done this time and time again in business, as any Narcissist would (his wording commenting Mueller report could not have been more telling, I’m unlucky enough to have been targeted by a diagnosed NPD sufferer, and this is exactly what I heard from them).
I’m glad for this astrology. Trump is waging a scorched earth war against any and all comers, with Sarah Sanders providing choreographed (soft-shoe) dancing. Trump has now made 2020 elections all about healthcare, not about who is the better politician. There’s no alternative being suggested: not Trump Care, not Ivanka Care. Not that either cares.
What a screwed up country.
