Trump Says Drop Dead To Planet

GOP Hates Red Tape - Except When It Means Helping the Poor

Julio Rivera, (aka the ConservaRican) Newsmax & Politichicks & Horace Cooper, Attorney/Senior Fellow-National Center for Public Policy Research. As of today - the Trump administration has yet to say whether it will continue Obamacare's cost-sharing reductions - payments the goverment makes to insurance companies to help cover cost of insuring low-income Americans. This is a blatant act of sabotage. Trump is trying to create chaos in the healthcare market - chaos he thinks will bring Democrats to the negotiating table on healthcare reform. That probably won't happen - but what probably WILL happen - according to former Obama administration official Andy Slavitt - is a 19 percent hike in premiums as healthcare companies try to protect themselves against uncertainty.This, Slavitt writes in the Washington Post - is effectively a tax - "a tax that will be added on top of the cost of policies purchased through the individual-market health insurance exchanges.” The government will end up covering the cost of most of these premium hikes through Obamacare's tax credits, but still how is this the behavior of a president?
