I thought this was already done, no? Guess not.
Better late than never.
Dismantle away, Mr. President.
No plan, only do!
No telegraph!!!
The good news that still goes under everyone's radar:
IMHO while everyone bitches and moans about the new tax plan, the new "AHP's" in the link above really make a case to max out your HSA / FSA ( yes a FSA can be used with an HSA for glasses and dental only ) to lower your AGI to possibly offset the losses elsewhere in the code...
This is the only thing that will work. He should raise the hardship exemption as high as possible and sink the thing fast.
But, no doubt, the Dems and insurance companies will challenge in court like the immigration restrictions.
Still planning.
Not yet doing.
well it will be great while it lasts...I’d say 6 hours...before a liberal judge blocks it.
President Trump indirectly waived the individual mandate for 2016 by instructing the IRS to accept tax returns in 2017 even if they didn't include the mandatory forms for documenting health coverage. This was technically a breach of his constitutional duties because he had no authority to determine that he would not enforce a clear statute, but nobody made a big deal about it because the entire country had every reason to believe that ObamaCare would be repealed in early 2017 anyway.
The IRS has already announced that the 2016 "waiver" will not be allowed again in 2017, so now the White House has to figure out another way to effectively eliminate the individual mandate in a way that fully complies with the ObamaCare statute. These "hardship exemptions" sound perfectly legitimate, and very effective as well.
Mr. Prez., how ‘bout rescinding any/all exemptions; especially that of the ‘50 employees or less’ (IIRC) that *CONGRESS* received!!!
Probably a good idea to coordinate with Cotton.
not nearly as good as if Congress did it
but since McShame and his bff Lindsay and McConnell and Collins have rendered Congress dysfunctional, this may be as good as we can get now
Okay - I understand better now.
Thanks.
Might as well Donald. The useless on the boar hogs CONgressss wont do anything.
Why the hell are we paying these SOBs in CONgresssss?
You’re welcome. I was facing an ObamaCare dilemma myself last year, so I paid close attention to the executive order to the IRS in early 2017 to make sure I did everything right.
So He could add a hardship exemption that anyone making less than one million dollars a year is exempt.
The hardship exemption would allow Americans to avoid paying the government the $695 fine or 2.5 percent of ones income, whichever is larger, for not obtaining health insurance.

Which I am STILL frosted about. How DARE the Government tell me I have to buy ANYTHING, and how dare that POS Supreme Court idiot say: “Oh, it’s just another tax!” - as if that’s not giving the government the same power to do anything they want over any aspect of our lives and making the same lame-ass excuse.
And, while I’m at it, a pox on that miserable excuse for a Congress to have this part of Obamacare active a full YEAR after the guy who swore to dismantle it took office. They are, truly, the most worthless bunch of politicians on the face of the planet - including the Democrats, who are at least loyal to their anti-American agenda.
