The IRS is not gonna&#8230; You know why? Donald Trump made that happen with an executive order affecting Obamacare. The IRS said, &#8220;Okay, well, we don\u2019t have to ask you these questions, whether you\u2019ve got insurance anymore. We\u2019re not gonna do that anymore. We\u2019re not gonna ask.&#8221;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-221672\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/OBAMACAREEO.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/OBAMACAREEO.jpg 594w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/OBAMACAREEO-300x203.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>That\u2019s because of an executive order by Donald Trump. Donald Trump success stories are on the domestic side, and there\u2019s some success stories here with international policy, too. I mean, every foreign leader that comes to visit Trump loves him, sings his praises, has the greatest time with him, feels a renewed respect from the United States of America. There was a meeting of CEOs and businesspeople today, and they came out of the meeting with Trump just loving what had happened.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the first time they\u2019d ever been invited to the White House. They\u2019re small-business people and so forth. So the stuff that\u2019s actually happening &#8212; the things that Trump\u2019s doing &#8212; it\u2019s a home run with the people who are affected by it. But you\u2019re not hearing about it very much. We\u2019ll take care of that today, too, but therein lies the answer, the solution for Trump on this stuff, and he\u2019d better do it quickly, too. It\u2019s the only way he\u2019s gonna keep the Republicans and Congress on his side.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I saw Snerdley make a mad dash to the computer when I told you the IRS was going to stop requiring people to indicate whether they maintained health coverage or not. Don\u2019t bother looking it up. It\u2019s right here. You can find it at the Drudge Report. It\u2019s at Reason.com. &#8220;Major Blow to Obamacare Mandate: IRS Won\u2019t Reject Tax Returns That Don\u2019t Answer Health Insurance Question.&#8221; You have to answer whether you have health insurance or not, and, if you don\u2019t, you\u2019re subject to a fine or some other penalty.

The Internal Revenue Service has decided that they\u2019re going to follow the executive order. They\u2019re gonna take a more lax approach to the coverage requirement, and you\u2019re not going to suffer a penalty if you don\u2019t have Obamacare. This is a huge blow to the mandate. It\u2019s not full fledged. It doesn\u2019t require&#8230; It isn\u2019t legislative rollback, but it\u2019s a big move!<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Do we need any more evidence Obamacare is an historic disaster?  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/corner\/444928\/obamacare-humana-leaves-exchanges-2018\">Humana has now announced they\u2019re gonna drop out of Obamacare<\/a> at the end of this year.
