Trump: ‘Thank Heaven’ The Obamacare Mandate Is Gone

President Donald Trump diverged from his script slightly Tuesday when he exclaimed “Thank heaven” that individual mandate at the center of Obamacare — seemingly pronounced “Opamacare,” this time — had been repealed as part of Republicans’ tax bill.

“We repealed the core of the disastrous Obamacare,” he said during his first State of the Union address. “The individual mandate is now gone. Thank heaven.”
