Yes, most of your employees are so poorly paid they qualify for Medicaid and don't earn enough to qualify for Obamacare insurance from the ACA exchanges. The Federal and State taxpayers pay immense sums to subsidize businesses like yours.by providing your underpaid employees with healthcare and income supplements like Food Stamps and federally subsidized housing. . Many of your higher paid employees might earn enough to qualify for ACA / Obamacare coverage, but they probably still earn so little the federal government will pay most of their insurance premiums. Instead you try to trap them in high-cost low-coverage pretend-insurance. Why? . The Republican Party is wedded to this self-destructive delusion that Americans don't want affordable health insurance or a job that pays them enough to not qualify for Food Stamps. They're completely out of touch with 98% of Americans. Another loser position, is Mitch McConnell and his Republicans would cut Trump off at the knees in order to go back to business as usual with China. Their precious "free market" delusion has previously blocked every attempt to address the problem with China trade. In this respect only a desperate Republican like Trump would be willing to divorce China. Obama focused on building criminal cases against China (ZTE and Huawei) and it's those investigations with the import tariffs will bring the divorce. If Obama had imposed import tariffs Congress would have immediately repealed them, but Mitch is afraid right now. Similarly, America almost got Universal Medicare in 1973 when Nixon was desperate to make a popular move during Watergate. One of his younger brothers had died of a simple lung infection because his parents were too poor to obtain treatment for him. Nixon carried the anger of this incident with him when later dealing with Mitch McConnell type Republicans who are content to abuse other people for profit.
