Without a robust awareness campaign, many people will be unaware of the availability of affordable coverage options and will remain uninsured.</em> Bipartisan efforts to stabilize the marketplaces are developing, but the Administration’s cuts will make that goal far more challenging.<br /><br /><strong>July 29</strong><br /><br />After Senate Republicans fail to pass a bill to repeal or replace the ACA<strong>, President Trump takes to Twitter to threaten that he will stop making CSR payments to insurers. Trump falsely calls these payments a “bailout.” Actually, the ACA requires the federal government to make these payments to compensate insurers for reducing deductibles and copayments </strong>for low- and moderate-income marketplace enrollees. Ending the payments would hike premiums in the individual market for many consumers, raise federal marketplace costs, and likely cause some insurers to withdraw from the marketplaces. The renewed threat comes just two weeks before the deadline for insurers to finalize their premium rates for 2018 marketplace plans.<br /><br />mmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-54379211577982760272017-09-30T11:41:22.083-04:002017-09-30T11:41:22.083-04:00"If the rich were taxed, what do you expect w..."If the rich were taxed, what do you expect would've happened?"<br />Umm...news flash...the rich ARE taxed in this country.

That’s not going to happen with us.” <br />*****************<br /><br />“Together we’re going to deliver real change that once again puts Americans first,” Trump said at an October rally in Florida. “That begins with immediately repealing and replacing the disaster known as Obamacare…You’re going to have such great health care, at a tiny fraction of the cost—and it’s going to be so easy.”<br />*****************<br />We will immediately repeal and replace ObamaCare - and nobody can do that like me. We will save $'s and have much better healthcare!<br />*************<br />“We will [repeal and replace Obamacare], and we will do it very, very quickly,” Trump said during the final week of the campaign. “It is a catastrophe.”<br />***********<br />On the campaign trail, one of Donald Trump’s most oft-repeated promises was that he would repeal the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare, and replace it with <b>“something terrific.”</b> This mythical, magical, secret plan was largely left to the imagination of voters, but he did make a few claims about what it would include.<br />***********<br />“I am going to take care of everybody. I don’t care if it costs me votes or not. Everybody’s going to be taken care of much better than they’re taken care of now.”<br /><br />Pressed for specifics, he explained that “people are going to be able to go out and negotiate great plans with lots of different competition with lots of competitors with great companies and they can have their doctors, they can have plans, they can have everything.”<br />********************<br />“You will end up with great health care for a fraction of the price and that will take place immediately after we go in. Immediately! Fast!

Sticking it to the “hedge fund guys”<br /><br />Trump asserted in September 2015 that he would cut taxes for the middle class, “but for the hedge fund guys, they’re going to be paying up.” This is less in reference to income tax rates than capital gains tax loopholes. Trump promised several times to eliminate this loophole, which allows financial managers to pay taxes on their income at the capital gains tax rate, which is lower, instead of the income tax rate. He said in Iowa in 2015 that he’d take out the loophole, “and let people making hundreds of millions of dollars pay some tax, because right now they are paying very little tax.”<br /><br />The plan does not even mention the capital gains tax loophole.<br />mmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-5271915080995112152017-09-29T17:30:44.383-04:002017-09-29T17:30:44.383-04:00Anon 4:33, I appreciate what you're doing but ...Anon 4:33, I appreciate what you're doing but you know you're just playing this troll's game.
