Discussion: Some Health Insurers Bail On States Citing Trump-Fueled Uncertainty

Cut off the CSRs: make a program that you call “failing” actually fail. Kinda like not expanding Medicaid and then saying “see? it hasn’t expanded coverage.”

Whether they like it or not, the Affordable Care Act is the law of the land and Trump, Price, and the rest of these bozos are legally obligated to enforce and implement that law. Sabotaging the ACA and cutting the funding approved for its implementation is a dereliction of duty and should subject Trump to impeachment and Price to prosecution.

As the GOP goobers love to say, "We are a nation of laws."

If there can be any silver lining to be found in this horrible situation that millions of ACA patients are being put into by Republicans, it’s that Bernie’s call for Single Payer then becomes the only solution. No insurers willing to step up? Then the government will have to provide those services…to everyone…as no employer or employee will be able to cover the escalating costs.

Conservatives are too stupid and too irresponsible to realize that sickness strikes everyone when they least suspect it. Everyone must have coverage or the doctors and hospitals will end up going bankrupt from lack of payments and we will have to depend on American Indian medicine men.

And you know that is one situation that no way that Republicans wants to be put in…to be put at the mercy of those they tortured on reservations daily. It’s becoming clear to voters that the GOP can’t provide the medical care the nation needs nor can they we treat our own illness, so Republicans will have to cave at some point and bow down to Bernie Sanders.

Oh, happy day that will be. And it’s coming. There is no other way.

Hey, why doesn’t the GOP try repealing Social Security as well since they’re doing so bloody well with everything else, since 2018 is going to be bloody for the GOP?

While reducing choices, the number of companies offering insurance.

Trump’s plan is not going to be either better or cheaper.

How clear will it be, to the good people of North Dakota, that this is a result of Trump and not Obama?

I certainly don’t expect Fox News or Rush L. to make that point. And their GOP congressmen would seem likely to cite this as evidence of Obamacare failing.

I wonder if the DNC should do what the Repubs did during Obama’s Presidency… mainly sueing the living hell out of everything Obama did hoping cracks would appear. They did.

Can’t we find numerous people hurt by the intentional sabotage to ACA and higher healthcare costs due to providers leaving states? Light him on fire for intentionally failing to live up to commitments based on law.

The problem with that is that congress never funded the payments. They were paid strictly by voluntary executive action. There is no commitment.

Insurers prove every day that their profits are far more important than providing anything remotely approaching affordable coverage. Single Payer is the only solution to national health care policy.

You left out that many conservatives are too evil and uncaring which they couch as being fiscally responsible and choice.

And thus I find shortfalls in my self-imposed title of TV lawyer.
Thanks for the clarification. It makes sense to me (the TV lawyer part of me is still raging inside).
