How worried are R's about the ACA premium hike backlash? This worried.

White House to pitch a Trump Obamacare extension with limits​

The White House expects to soon unveil a health policy framework that includes a two-year extension of Obamacare subsidies due to expire at the end of next month and new limits on eligibility, according to three people granted anonymity to discuss the unannounced plans.

The proposal would mark President Donald Trump’s foray into Capitol Hill negotiations over how to address health care premium spikes set to hit Affordable Care Act enrollees if Congress lets the premium subsidies expire.

A White House official declined to confirm the details of the plan, saying, “Until President Trump makes an announcement himself, any reporting about the administration’s healthcare positions is mere speculation.” MS NOW first reported news of Trump’s intent to announce a new health care framework as soon as Monday to address spikes in ACA insurance premiums.

As part of a deal to reopen the government earlier this month, Senate Republicans agreed to give Democrats a vote on the ACA tax credits in December. But GOP lawmakers across the Capitol have been divided over how to respond to the subsidy deadline, leaving many eager for Trump to reveal his preferences. Hard-line conservatives have been pushing to let the subsidies expire while moderate Republicans have been pressing for an extension. Some Republicans are angling for a health care overhaul to replace the credits.

Don is nothing if not unpredictable so you never know what he will or won't do until he does it. But I think it's fair to say that while many on the board were doing a happy dance over the idea of R's "winning" the shutdown, meaning unaffordable healthcare for millions, R congressmen were not as sanguine. With everything else that's going against R's heading towards the midterms it would appear defending the position of "people on ACA plans can go screw themselves" is one they'd rather not be put in a position of having to do.

Notice how the potentially proposed two year extension gets them past the election?

So he is going to give us back Obamacare and he's talking about sending us all $2000 checks because we are all paying $2500 more because of tariffs.

Seems like Trump has made things worse and now he's trying to put things back to the way they were. Before he fucked up.

 

[pknopp]

The way they were before wasn't good either.

The $2K checks aren't happening. But ACA subsidy extensions very well may. Which will likely put a smile on MTG's lips if only because it shows she is more in touch with "kitchen table" issues of Americans than the guy spending his time destroying the architectural/historical integrity of the WH.

I am glad that Trump and the GOP are in power to fix the Obama and Dem problem

1. Obamacare was supposed to lower prices -- for Americans. It lowered costs for third world invaders
2. Republicans suck for not providing a Free Market Voucher alternative

We pay no matter what, either ACA or Medicaid. Pick one.

I support prioritizing the use of tax dollars to help millions afford health insurance over many other uses of tax dollars.

They're not exactly subtle, are they? MAGA should be furious that they're folding like this on the ACA, but they won't be.

 

[berg80]

Trump’s proposal, which could change, represents the president’s first substantive policy initiative on health care since the start of the government shutdown in which Democrats demanded that Congress act to extend ACA subsidies set to expire at the end of this year.

President Trump says he wants to end "surprise premium hikes" from Obamacare

Trump is advancing a new plan to deal with health-care costs.

It is arguably his first substantive policy initiative on health care ever. Unless you count whining about the existence of the ACA.

As I recall, there was lots of "the D's are caving" chants when 8 D's agreed to end the shutdown in return for a vote on ACA subsides.

Perhaps they felt R's would eventually succumb to pressure over public outrage. Perhaps they were right.

This constant back-and-forth, all-over-the-place chaos is not leadership, it's weakness. It reflects a disordered mind. A real leader plots a clear course and off you go. This is, it remains, a ******* mess. Nothing lasts more than a few days. And that applies to pretty much EVERYTHING he comes near. We saw it YESTERDAY with Ukraine.

I'm noticing Bill Maher is trying very hard to normalize Trump on his last episode of the season. Must not want to get cancelled.

Like Bill said the White House did need a ballroom. LOL.

He sometimes goes out of his way to reinvented himself as someone who can see both sides of an issue when there aren't always two sides.
