Trump: 'There is no such thing as ObamaCare anymore'

President Trump made it clear Monday that the Affordable Care Act is absolutely, positively, no-buts-about-it dead. "ObamaCare is finished," Trump said. "It's dead, it's gone. It's no longer — you shouldn't even mention it."

Last week, the White House announced an end to Affordable Care Act subsidy payments to insurance companies that lowered premiums for low-income customers.

"There is no such thing as ObamaCare anymore," Trump added Monday for good measure.
