âStabilizationâ refers to scaling back some of the GOP efforts to gut the law before they realized that people actually liked it, and it did the public no small amount of good.
Stabilize this asshole.
Good news. Republicans know Rome is burning and insurers will stick around as long as they can get their subsidies. âSaving HCâ has just been moved down the list for now. Treason, espionage and a mentally ill president are the only important topics. Shit storm everyday.
Itâs not clear whether such measures would come in the form of Trump administration executive actions or legislation from the Senate, and if the latter, whether that legislation would be separate from the main repeal bill.
In other words, theyâre hoping to convince Trump to reverse course and support the subsidies through executive action.
Because the Senate can pass whatever it wants, but good luck getting subsidies that âprop up Obamacareâ through the House Freedumb Cockups.
If theyâre going to stabilize the exchanges they need to act yesterday. Insurers are already bailing out en masse. But it is interesting if it means that the Senate isnât prepared to kill the exchanges, and/or doesnât know if they can get repeal done this year and doesnât want to risk being seen just letting them die on the vine. On the other hand, most of the âstabilizationâ measures theyâve promoted in the past involve getting rid of community rating and other awful regressions that I trust Dems wonât be stupid enough to go along with.
One more distraction. How many can they put out in one day?
I believe the answer is 42, correct? If memory serves, that is the answer to everything.
Since I put that up, thereâve been three more.
Late edit :AND THEN the comey memo
And two more follow the running GOPer stories.
Quid flippin nunc?
I think theyâre waking up to the fact that even if they nominally delay all the ACA-destruction stuff till 2019 or 2020 the insurance companies will be bailing out well before then and pissing people off before the midterms. Couldnât happen to a nicer bunch of sleazeballs.
The gang that couldnât eff-up straightâŚ
Hereâs my solution and itâs so simple that even the nimrods in the GOP can understand it: Stop trying to repeal (and replace) ACA and work with Democrats to fix/improve it. And they donât even really need to worry about whether or not the House will approve whatever they come up with either, because if nothing happens, ACA remains the law of the land.
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) said Republicans were seeking feedback from insurers as to what it would take to bring more certainty to the individual market.
câmon Ron. You seriously need help with that?
Duuuuuhhh RonâŚstop trying to repeal and replace ACA? Tell Trump to stop trying to sabotage it at the Executive level? Tell House GOP to drop their dumb lawsuit that theyâve already asked for a hold on? How did RoJo win a second term? Or a first term FFS? He should have gone down in flames last year against Feingold.
