Ending Obamacare Subsidies Will Lower Premiums, Health Care Experts Say
ㅤ”The Washington Post, ABC News, and others failed to mention that while health insurers will no longer receive billions of dollars in taxpayer-funded subsidies, those same 2 in 10 consumers facing increased rates will also have more health insurance coverage options, thanks to the President signing an executive order allowing them to purchase their coverage across state lines.
ㅤThis move, according to conservative healthcare policy experts, will actually result in lower premiums.”

Judge plans to rule next week in Obamacare subsidies fight
ㅤ”A group of 19 states filed suit last week in federal court in San Francisco, asking that the Department of Health and Human Services be required to continue the so-called cost-sharing reduction payments despite President Donald Trump’s announcement last week that they would be ended.
ㅤDuring a telephone scheduling hearing on the states’ request for a temporary restraining order requiring the government to continue the payments, U.S. District Court Judge Vince Chhabria said he’d like to rule on that issue next week.”
ㅤô¿ô …Chhabria will rule in favor of the socialists. He was appointed by Obama in 2015. The judicial system is corrupt through and through.

ㅤI think it’s good too. But it’s unlikely that a bipartisan plan is possible. It’s now time for Trump to come forward with his own plan. A plan that is popular enough with the people that nobody in Congress would stop the plan from being adopted.

ㅤIt should be obvious to everyone by now what Trump’s plan for health care has been since he was elected. He has been counting on repeal to fail. He has been helping it fail by injecting mayhem into Congress’es debate.
ㅤWhy? Because now that repeal has failed and Dem’s have least admitted that Obamacare has serious problems, Trump is going to introduce the real TrumpCare.
ㅤTrumpCare won’t be at all like what the GOP has been trying to pass. The GOP’s proposals should be called RevengeCare. TrumpCare will be a compromise that satisfies everyone and Trump will be crowned the Savior of Health Care.
