Trump to halt ObamaCare subsidies: Report

Huge hit to Obamacare here, Trump doing the right thing. If these companies can't price themselves in the market and survive without government assistance, this should not be a burden on everyone.

Trump to halt ObamaCare subsidies: Report

President Donald Trump plans to halt payments to insurers under the Affordable Care Act, the 2010 health care law also known as ObamaCare.

It’s the latest effort in the president’s bid to ultimately “repeal and replace” what’s considered the signature legislation of his White House predecessor.

Word of Trump’s latest plan came from two people familiar with the decision, who spoke to the Associated Press. They requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

The White House said in a statement that the Department of Health and Human Services has determined there is no appropriation for cost-sharing reduction payments to insurers under the Obamacare law.

Trump's decision was expected to rattle already-unsteady insurance marketplaces. The president has previously threatened to end the payments, which help reduce health insurance copays and deductibles for people with modest incomes, but remain under a legal cloud.

Pushback expected

The president's action will likely to trigger a lawsuit from state attorneys general, who contend the subsidies to insurers are fully authorized by federal law, and the president's position is reckless. Xavier Becerra, California’s attorney general, called the decision “sabotage,” and promised a lawsuit.

After the president’s intentions were disclosed, leading Democrats in Congress were quick to criticize the plan.

In a statement, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., predicted that Trump’s expected action would increase Americans’ health premiums by 20 percent or more.

"If these reports are true,” the Democrats said in the joint statement, referring to the president’s plans, “the president is walking away from the good-faith, bipartisan Alexander-Murray negotiations and risking the health care of millions of Americans.”

The Democrats were referring to bipartisan talks being led by Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., and Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., to seek a bipartisan agreement for funding ObamaCare subsidies and stabilizing health insurance markets.

Order to lower premiums

Earlier Thursday, Trump predicted that “millions and millions of people” would benefit from an executive order he signed Thursday to make lower-premium health insurance plans more widely available.

But the changes Trump hopes to bring about could take months or even longer. That's according to administration officials who outlined the order for reporters. The proposals may not be finalized in time to affect coverage for 2019, let alone next year.

Thank you POTUS. Subsidies were Un-Constitutional

-Geaux

No they weren't. What he has done is un constitutional.
 
The problem with the free market when it comes to healthcare is that I'm not a car. My body isn't something I can live without if I can't afford the maintenance.

There is no Free Market in medical care. Regulation has squeezed the freedom out of the market, resulting in skyrocketing prices. Regulation is why you can't afford medical care.

Republicans should fix and expand Obamacare, and deregulate the market to control costs. But, the worthless GOP party is going to leave it to the Democrats to eliminate Obamacare and replace it with something inherently worse.

Obviously you didn't have ins before the ACA.

You are right we hate corporate welfare. No one is getting free money. You dolt. Heres hoping you get an uninsurable condition and then we can see how you love Trumpcare.
 
If Obamacare was truly "IMPLODING!" like Republicans have been crowing for the longest...why is this stunt even necessary?

If Democrats won't cooperate with Republicans in tweaking Obamacare, then it's fair for Trump to shove Obamacare off a cliff and force Democrats to the table.

Eh, Democrats are in full sedition .. top to bottom, a positive solution from them is laughable...

They're more like yapping dogs and parasites than responsible politicians.

Here is hoping you become uninsurable, and loose your job if you even work.

Is this the true Penelope or are you just being a meanie?

Where's the Democratic Party solution, 6 years and they have zero solutions, maybe I'm wrong, show me the legislation you're so thrilled about..:smile:

Here's hoping you never have kids or if you have done the unthinkable already, they don't have any.

No I hope you do, then you can feel what many have been feeling since T took office. I really mean it. 6 years of Rep rule debasing the ACA.

Everyone who voted for Trump I do wish to get a medical condition no matter how young and healthy they seem to be.

don't report her

I want to laugh when she reports me and gets self banned for what she put out.
 
Sooo, you have the right to someone else's income because why, you earned it?

Or that health care is a public service. Hey, when you call the fire department, why should the rest of us spend money because you were careless?

No no CVA, I want something more painful for you. How about bad DM uncontrolled and they have to cut your foot off and you get the infection of flesh eating bacteria where they have to remove a lot of your leg muscle, or perhaps a accident that turns you into a quad. I imagine you are already impotent.
 
You people that are laughing in your glory that others are loosing healthcare deserve whatever you get. You will not get mercy from me, I'd have more mercy for a crack addict and a Hiv positive person that someone who voted for Trump and who is laughing at people losing healthcare.
