Trump is committing Mass Murder. If that isn’t Terrorism, then I don’t know the meaning of TERRORISM!
Definition of TERRORISM - noun
1. The unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.
Side note: I guess since what Trump did in signing the executive order to stop funding subsidies that low-income Americans use to pay their out-of-pocket expenses of their Affordable Care Act (ACA/Obamacare) plans, is LAWFUL, he will once again get away with Domestic Terrorism. thinkingblue
Read this: Trump's Termination Of Obamacare Subsidies Hurts Patients, Not Insurers
Excerpt: President Donald Trump’s move Friday to stop funding subsidies that low-income Americans use to pay their out-of-pocket expenses of their Obamacare plans will mean a jump in costs of 25% or more, insurers say.
Trump’s decision comes less than three weeks before the beginning of open enrollment for subsidized individual coverage sold on public exchanges for 2018 under the Affordable Care Act. Cost-sharing reductions help purchasers of subsidized silver plans with their co-payments and deductibles. Trump’s decision ends funding that had been disbursed on a month-to-month basis.
"These payments are not a bailout – they are passed from the federal government through health plans to medical providers to help lower costs for patients who see a doctor to treat their cancer or fill a prescription for a life-saving medication," America's Health Insurance Plans and the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association said in a joint statement Friday morning.
Most insurers, including Anthem, Oscar Health, Centene, Molina and Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans, will still make money if Americans buy their plans because customers will have to pay much higher rates thanks to Trump’s move. The end to CSRs, though, could prevent many from buying the policies in the first place or paying their out-of-pocket costs.
“Ending the government’s cost-sharing subsidies to insurers in the Affordable Care Act marketplace won’t fix the law’s shortcomings or move us closer to a workable alternative,” said Bruce Siegel, CEO of America’s Essential Hospitals. “It only will destabilize the insurance market and drive costs higher for patients who can least afford increases. This decision could leave many individuals and families with no options at all for affordable coverage.”
