Aetna bails on ACA exchanges...

We can tell the ACA is awesome by how shitty it performs.

I wonder if he texts on TDs while driving poor black people to get a photo ID so they can vote - legally?

What a great opportunity for the GOP to highlight the inadequacies of the ACA....oops.... shithead is sucking all the oxygen out of the room again.

When will those that oppose the Rep plan realize that their plan is better than no plan at all if Obocare is not corrected? I'd say they are the definition of someone exhibiting tunnel vision.

Obocare is a death wish for American economics thru healthcare.

This is exactly why the Republicans shouldn't have rushed that bullshite bill. They should have let Obamacare run its course to shittiness, and gotten rid of it straight. Instead, they push a bill in supposedly multiple parts(don't believe it) that IS a watered down version of the dying program with some goodies sprinkled in.

The republicans are fricking stupid, and Trump joined the stupidity by pushing it too.

They should have waited for the clamor to fix it, and passed Rand's plan for the Senate to then modify/compromise/adjust. Now we have an already liberal bill that will just get worse with the Senate.

I still don't think many of you get it, the AHCA uses the framework of the ACA.

Upvote

These problems are not going away. If anything they would get worse under this restructuring.

Still up voting.

You are incentivizing the young and healthy to gamble with such a weak mandate, you aren't addressing actual costs, and you are cutting subsidies and pushing people on Medicaid into that ACA pool. On the personal level you are making healthcare unaffordable for older people.

The high risk pools are woefully underfunded and the reinsurance money far too inadequete. The repealing of the employer mandate could reduce the strength of a lot of risk pools as well and push people into that individual market or similarly gamble with no insurance.

Downvote.

Another step towards a public option that Aetna will bid on.

Why would we pay 150+ a month when we're healthy?

I know scores of people who would suck a dick to pay $150/month.

And the "gamble" still has a cost. The mandate wouldn't really be gone. It's just a different penalty which is now enforced by the insurers themselves and not the government, which is a really disturbing change.

The new law sucks, shouldn't pass and people should hold lawmakers' feet to the fire until they come up with a system that actually helps people instead of serving their masters.

To me, it's an insultingly clear indication that ALL of them want single payer, and this is just another avenue to that end.

The people hate the existing law, and conservative citizens won't accept single payer, so this crap is what we're getting instead. The owners of this country will be able to slap single payer on us while simultaneously handing the government back to the leftists.

Has ATL dropped by to tell us how racist Aetna is?
