Synopsis of video:
Trump is demolishing Obamacare, piece by piece. brick by brick.
1. He is reducing enrollment in Obamacare by slashing outreach funds and cutting back on hiring people whose job is to sign up new enrollees.
2. More importantly, Trump is creating viable alternatives to Obamacare:
a. Obamacare has a provision for "short term programs" which don't have to cover everything. Those in these short term programs are expected to sign up with Obamcare after a few weeks. Trump has changed the definition of "short term" and made it up to 1 year and beyond.
b. Trump is letting people set up "associated plans" in industries and fraternal organizations and letting them design these plans to their own specifications.
c. Trump is granting waivers to states that don't want to cover all requirements of Obamacare.
All of these steps have two effects.
1. They will create programs that are much less costly than Obamacare. For example, plans for young people who only wnat catastrophic coverage.
2. By drawing people out of Obamacare, Trump is driving up the risk pool for those still on Obamacare and driving up premiuns while decreasing profits for the insurance companies and refusing to bail them out.
It's just a matter of time before Obamacare will collapse. Once that happens, Congress will be forced to replace the Obamacare disaster with new legislation.
There is more than one way to skin a cat, and some ways the cat actually likes.
Trump has changed the definition of “short term”
Brilliant.
Dick lives!
It really is. Love the way that “cellphone and a pen” is being used by this President.
“a. Obamacare has a provision for “short term programs” which don’t have to cover everything. Those in these short term programs are expected to sign up with Obamcare after a few weeks. Trump has changed the definition of “short term” and made it up to 1 year and beyond. “

This one intrugues me but I can’t find anything new on it,all I found said 3 months was the limit.
I hope "1 year and beyond" means the expected life a an average star plus 1 year.
Morris explained it very well. IMO
Bfl
O. Congress will be forced to do nothing of the kind. Let zero- care die. Then bury it deep. Period. End of file. End of problem.
The Dems thought they would be in power until the end of time so they built in ways to change it when ever they wanted and Trump will use it to destroy it ,LOL
Exactly. And if the law remains on the books a RINO/DEM president can just change it back. This is why REPEAL is even more important.
WINNING!!!
Remember all the clauses in Obamacare that had..."At the discretion of the Secretary"...so all those can be used in reverse.
Sucks to be a post Trump Dim.
