The myth of Obamacare 'sabotage'

The Affordable Care Act is on its last legs. At least, that’s the sense you get from reading this week’s headlines. NPR reports “Obamacare Sign-Ups Lag as Trump Slashes Funds for Enrollment Help,” while Politico solemnly concedes that “Trump may finally be undermining Obamacare.”
