Trump has been all over the board on this. If Congress passes something then Trump will sign it.
“If Congress passes something then Trump will sign it.”
We shall see, Doggie. Interesting times.
That’s just the stuff on top of the table.
The under-the-table stuff is an ocean of money that makes multi-millionaires out of every member of Congress.
Section 1402 of the PPACA:
“An issuer of a qualified health plan making reductions under this subsection shall notify the Secretary of such reductions and the Secretary shall make periodic and timely payments to the issuer equal to the value of the reductions.”
It’s a federal reimbursement of insurer-paid (mainly Democratic) patient co-pay reductions paid to hospitals and doctors, etc.
It only benefits the insurers by keeping the PPACA afloat so they can make profits off of it.
The real problem is that no fixes that we would want are being made in exchange for the federal PPACA bailout.
I need lower cost plan options such as EMTALA hospitalization only with say a $10,000 deductible.
Others need an end to the PPACA fines.
Employers need to expand beyond 49 employees.
Millions of employees need to be able to work over 29 hours a week.
I can see how this plays out.
- Bill sails thru both houses of Congress
- Trump vetoes
- Congress does the bidding of its K Street masters and overrides his veto
- Trump uses the resulting voter anger to dismantle the RINO Party.
I think you’re right. Congress will never starve a cash cow.
+1
They may be trying - doubt they will reach their goal....
Ask President Trump to veto it.
This would be disastrous.
<>The Citizens of the United States have never wanted . . . Obamacare.<>
So true; it is true of EVERY social justice program since Social Security.
Twenty-eight states opposed ZeroCare in court. Scotus brazenly rewrote the law to save it. It wasn’t enough. Obamacare is a light burden on the poor. It wasn’t designed so much for healthcare, but rather to destroy the middleclass. Congressmen and their staffs are exempt.
This isn’t republican government.
What’s new. That is SOP.
So one way or another, they are bound and determined to make the hard-working middle class pay for this massive redistribution of wealth. Some of it into the pockets of deadbeats and welfare cheats, and huge amounts of it into the pockets of insurance execs, politicians, and their cronies.
So far, every replacement plan had billions of bailout attached and he was ready to sign all of them.
Suddenly, it’s a different story. Praise God for the freedom Caucus who wouldn’t let the bailout bills through. They took a personal hammering from the prez, who obviously was pro insurance company bailout just a few weeks ago.
As someone once said "on your way up to the top make sure you have a good accountant, priest, lawyer, a few journalists, judge and politician on your payroll".
You'll never be held guilty for anything if you do it right.
