The decision to end the payments, worth an estimated $7 billion this year, marks Trump's most aggressive move yet to dismantle Obamacare after months of failed GOP repeal efforts on Capitol Hill. The move is likely to draw lawsuits and may put pressure on Congress to appropriate funding for the subsidies, which help insurers reduce out-of-pocket costs for low-income Obamacare customers. The decision follows Trump's signing of an executive order earlier today that directs federal agencies to rewrite regulations to encourage the rise of a raft of cheap, loosely regulated health insurance plans that don't have to comply with certain Obamacare consumer protections and benefit rules. Trump touted the move as a step toward unwinding Obamacare http://www.politico.com/story/2017/10/12/trump-obamacare-subsidy-243736 Report Remind Me Link

This does opposite. petite6 10/12/17 07:18 PM this is a Republican so they know what mess this will cause NT petite6 10/12/17 07:19 PM the core drive behind all this, is that his white uneducated constituents that voted him into office, cannot fathom the thought that... Hostus 10/12/17 07:20 PM That seems a little bit extreme, but I think you may be onto something with that stuff about thinking non-Whites are lesser beings Beard 10/12/17 07:37 PM Why does Trump want people to suffer? NT mgbaloo 10/12/17 06:49 PM Because he is playing to his base... uneducated whites that want to see minorities suffer, even if they will suffer themselves too. NT Hostus 10/12/17 07:00 PM Because he can? Because someone told him it was a good idea? Because poor, dependent people are easier to control and cheaper to employ? Obama? NT Beard 10/12/17 06:54 PM It will either be Obama's fault or Hillary's fault. Talk about lack of accountability. NT mgbaloo 10/12/17 06:55 PM CBO: 1 million will be uninsured in 2018; premiums will increase by 20%; insurer exits will leave 5% of enrollees with no insurer. petite6 10/12/17 06:45 PM if this happens yall are screwed. NT petite6 10/12/17 06:43 PM Yes! I could not believe the headlines when I saw them! This will flood the hospitals with people who have no coverage. NT tweeter 10/13/17 04:20 AM
