Yeah, you don't have a clue what you are talking about. This has nothing to do with subsidies. It's about CSRs. And guess what? Insurance companies haven't been getting the CSRs for a couple years anyway. The payments that he signed to stop, had already stopped when it went to court.

The way this works is the law mandates insurers in the market administer the CSR's. Economic subsidies that bring down the out-of-pocket costs for qualifying participants. The insurer is than reimbursed by the government after the fact, as pointed out in the clause I highlighted in my earlier post.

Trump has decided not to pay that reimbursement. The effect of which are the things I have mentioned.
