In a blow to Trump and his attempt to repeal ObamaCare, the court’s decision hits a Labor Department rule designed to make it easier for small businesses to band together and buy health insurance in so-called association health plans – one of the Trump administration’s initiatives to weaken Obamacare by offering alternatives to the exchanges.
It leaves me scratching my head. Why wouldn’t it be allowed in Obama care for a group of small businesses to group together to get a better deal on health insurance for their employee’s??
I mean, isn’t the goal of Obamacare to lower the cost of healthcare for people??
But nooooo, this takes away from our exchange, so the exchanges won’t get as much money–we can’t have that.
Although I am not in support of the ACA, it has some excellent points in both preexisting conditions and allowing children to be on your policy until 26. Both should be implemented in what ever insurance is agreed upon. I sure wish though, that the government would attack the reasons for healthcare being so costly and not just attempt to distribute the wasteful expenditures among those who can afford it the most.
And anyway, does anyone really believe Republicans are going to make health care great with even better pre- existing coverage. Do people really believe trumps pie in the sky promises.
Where’s your Mexico financed wall. Why is the swamp not drained. Why is Hillary free to roam the world? Where’s that second middle class tax cut? When did he become more presidential than any other president?
That doesn’t make any sense. Calling the individual mandate a tax saved the individual mandate. Not having a tax does not mean the entire bill somehow becomes unconstitutional.
Oconner’s ruling doesn’t make any sense and has been criticized by all sides.
The ACA may not be but healthcare sure is. “We” have to figure this one out. Those that don’t have insurance are still receiving their healthcare but through the emergency room, which is much, much, much more costly to taxpayers. Illegal aliens cost us billions in free healthcare and when their baby is delivered at no cost in the hospital, the child is now a citizen. Unnecessary tests are now being called for by doctors to one…cover their butt in a courtroom plus to receive the additional revenue since there’s been cuts in so many other areas. There are many facets to this problem that need to be addressed but this can has been kicked down the road by chicken ■■■■ politicians for decades.
