Trump scraps cost-sharing subsidies for Obamacare
Posted on 10/12/17 at 9:54 pm

President Donald Trump plans to cut off subsidy payments to insurers selling Obamacare coverage in his most aggressive move yet to undermine the health care law, according to two sources.
The subsidies, which are worth an estimated $7 billion this year and are paid out in monthly installments, may stop almost immediately since Congress hasn’t appropriated funding for the program.
quote:
The decision, leaked only a few hours after Trump signed an executive order calling for new regulations to encourage the rise of a raft of cheap, loosely regulated health plans, delivers a double blow to Obamacare after months of failed GOP efforts to repeal the law. With open enrollment for the 2018 plan year set to launch in two weeks, the moves seem aimed at dismantling the law through executive actions.
quote:
“While I’m sure initial reactions will be negative, this might be the spark Congress needs to act on this issue," said an insurance lobbyist who declined to be named. "There was no pressure before … That might actually be the silver lining.”

frickers should have acted when they had a chance. Don has a pen and a phone too and has shown no fear of political repercussions using it

He was more than generous with Congress.
Gave them every opportunity to deal with it.
They punted.

Sounds like Obama’s legacy is in it’s death throes. The walls in his presidential library will be bare and the rooms empty.

This. He basically begged them to pass anything. Unless, that was all a scam and the plan all along was to pass nothing.

Damn strong statement

Good, the ACA has turned my health insurance into absolute shite. Obomacare only added insult to injury to the masses that pay for the laziest of society. In other words it fricked the people that pay most of the taxes.
And the idiots are dumbfounded that Trump got elected

Trump is flying a big belly D and is arclighting the shite out of the NVA at Khe Sanh

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, who led a group of Democratic attorneys general to defend the subsidies in court this spring, said last night they would sue to stop the administration from acting.
quote:
Some insurers are also likely sue the Trump administration over the failure to make payments that they believe they’re entitled to under the Affordable Care Act.
Are there any legal grounds whatsoever for these cases? Is there any, literally any way the CSRs are codified in law? Everything I've read says the exact opposite.

SCOTUS ruled the payments unconstitutional
