Lamar Alexander, Tennesee’s other RINO senator
It is called a VETO and Trump should let it be known that anyone who votes to bail out the insurers will be held to account. They will be named, they will be outed, they will be primaried and they will pay.
The Citizens of the United States have never wanted, supported and done everything in their power short of outright armed rebellion to kill Obamacare. It is time they got the message.
Repubs aren't "fools" , they are CO-CONSPIRATORS!!! It is THEIR goal to preserve this crap socialist B.S.!!!
Didn’t Trump say he’d veto any bailout of the ins. companies? If so, what’s the point of congress sending it to his desk, other than to try to put him in a bad light. Problem is, only the left and the MSM would be upset at this (a veto, that is). So they’d be wasting their time (and our $$$).
They give our money to the insurance companies and the insurance companies give them a percentage back as campaign donations and our rates zoom up.
“K” Street howling mad and spewing money.
That's about as socialist a concept as I can imagine yet many here will applaud it.
Best government that money can buy. Bought and paid for by those insurance co’s.
Fleecing taxpayers is what they do. We’ve bailed out Texas and Florida and Puerto Rico and New Jersey and New York and God knows how many other states for hurricanes. We bailed out Savings and Loans. We bailed out the mortgage industry and the banks. And apparently Congress just bailed out Wall Street yesterday by striking down consumer protections. Why should insurance companies be any different?
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.
They may be trying - doubt they will reach their goal....
Ask President Trump to veto it.
This would be disastrous.
What’s new. That is SOP.
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.
