You guys ready for round two
One focus, one goal, one aim, one mission, one issue
They'e bacccccccccck...!!! Trump and his misguided and confused minions are once again rushing through another “repeal and replace” to meet Trump's 100-days-in-office
deadline pledge. WTF that is his standard?
One huge impact lingers:
At
the center was the court battle that began under the Obama administration to help
lower-income people pay medical bills and insurance deductibles. (Trump and GOPers hate that sort of thing).
Taking the basics away now would prompt the giant insurers to either flee the market or severely hike
premiums to cover costs.
Despite calls from the health care industry,
business groups and Democrats to continue the payments, the White House has yet
to tip its hand.
According
to a draft of the tentative deal
obtained by POLITICO, the latest proposal would allow states to apply for “limited
waivers that would undermine Obamacare's protections for pre-existing
conditions.” What does that mean exactly?
A FEW KEY NOTES ABOUT THAT:
Under those waivers if
implemented, states could opt out of Obamacare standards setting minimum
benefits that health plans must offer and a requirement — called community
rating — forbidding insurers from charging different prices to people based on
health status.
Both are provisions that the GOP’s ultraconservatives have pushed to
eliminate as part of the repeal effort, contending that these coverage mandates
drive up the cost of insurance.
States opting out of the community rating rules would: (1) be forced to
set up separate insurance pools (known as high-risk pools), and (2) people would
be priced out of the private market where insurance is sold, and (3) they would
be not be able to get good affordable coverage that they have right now under
Obama-care.
In essence, this governing GOP does not give a crap.
Now imagine that group included you and your family and loved ones?
