"Brilliant" Trump drives up health care costs (again)!

[Frank the Tank]

It is now being reported that our "brilliant" President is manipulating the health insurance markets again and driving up health care costs for everyone. Remember the good old days when Republicans used to speak AGAINST government intrusion into the markets?!?!? Well, those days are long gone. Now....to the new brand of Republican....the government SHOULD manipulate the markets and drive up costs in health care (or in other industries by imposing tariffs).

It is impossible to tell what Republicans stand for anymore because it changes with the weather. All they need is a megalomaniac to tell them what to think....flippin' cowards.

Oh yeah, let's not forget that under Republican control...they INCREASED the budget deficit to $1 trillion just to give the people who crashed the economy in 2008 a huge windfall of cash through the tax code. More "winning"???

/-----/ It was a court order, you dingbat. Did you bother to read the article past the headline?
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the agency that oversees the program, cited a recent federal court decision that found the formula for calculating the risk adjustment payments to be flawed. In a March 2018 ruling out of New Mexico, US District Court Judge Thomas Browning that the methodology used by the federal government was "arbitrary and capricious" and remanded it back to the agency, according to Lexis Legal News.

Pres. Trump knows what is best for us and the country.

All true patriotic Americans need to support him. ...

/----/ Yes, that was Obama's philosophy.

That is what Democrats and liberals believe. ....

Try again sunshine....it was the ADMINISTRATION'S decision to suspend payments. They COULD (if their interest was to stabilize markets) continue those payments until resolved.

By they way, since when has the Trump Administration listened to the courts? That's a real knee slapper.

So...to be clear.....TRUMP is the reason health care costs are going up. Started last year when he decided not to subsidize the HI market and is continuing now.

You don't "get" health insurance....do you? Not sure how getting more people involved in risk pools increases health care costs?????

By the way, based on your posts.....you're one of those who gives Trump credit for the economy, right?! Even though he hasn't done jackdiddlysquat for it (other than ride the wave started by Obama). I'd LOVE to hear how giving the people who crashed the economy 10 years ago a windfall of cash was great for the economy?!?

/----/ Ask Obozo. He created the policy that the courts struck down.

Sorry chief, a true patriot uses their brain and doesn't just go with the flow because that's what their cult leader tells them to believe. You should try it....it is invigorating!

No this is what Trump believes and most of the GOP. What is he doing with the money, oh his wallet is growing fatter and fatter.

RIght...the policy that insured over 30 million more Americans and was driving health care costs down.

Going up for everyone. What is the GOP and Trumps plan, if you are lying on the side of the road, we will haul you to the dump.

I totally agree with you!! ....

That's why I didn't join the Democrat cult and vote for their deity Obama or crooked Hillary. ...

You might be convincing if you didn't speak in just platitudes.

Tell you what son.....let's try something. Give a REAL response (using logic and reason) on any of the following:

1)Trump's manipulation of the markets is causing health insurance rates to go up...that's what the insurers are saying.
2)Trump's tax policy gave the people who crashed the economy 10 years ago a gigantic tax cut (including himself, by the way)
3)Trump INCREASED the budget deficit after Barack Obama reduced it.

Pick one sunshine....let's see what you have.

One day it will hit all, a medical diagnoses which will change your life. It doesn't matter if you are a con or a democrat or whatever. It doesn't matter what age you are, healthy one day and not the next. You might be able to continue work, or work part-time or not at all. Tell me what are you going to do if not old enough for Medicare, which they are working on destroying as well?

By the way....NOTHING Is more funny than a nitwit supporting Trump (a guy who has been convicted of fraud and caught lying about every subject under the sun) who STILL uses the adjective "crooked" when talking about Hillary Clinton.

HILARIOUS!
