Trump admits killing ObamaCare is harder than he thought

But Trump claimed that he has a “really terrific” replacement plan in the works. He made no attempt to learn anything about healthcare in general or the Affordable Care Act in particular, just as he made no attempt to learn about anything else important in government. “Nobody knew health care could be so complicated”.

“I fear for my access to health insurance, and even more for my spouse”, he told more than 400 people who gathered for Slaughter’s Obamacare event on January 15.

Kasich’s pitch was significantly less drastic than plans being crafted by House Republican leadership, which would cut Medicaid spending.

Trump met in the White House with executives from the largest insurance companies – UnitedHealth, Aetna, Cigna, Humana, Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Kaiser Permanente – along with Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price and Vice President Mike Pence.

Reed also said he participated in an hour-long meeting with the president and his advisers and others at the White House last week, in which the issue of Russian contacts by Trump representatives during and after the campaign was discussed. According to CNN, Republicans are working on a potential replacement for the current law.

Those plans include a variety of different mechanisms to fund health insurance coverage and the expansion of coverage under Medicaid, the health care program for the nation’s elderly and poor. Too many sick people will be left out or cut off. He also said that he wanted states to have more flexibility but did not provide details. Like I said, the congressman won’t answer us.

“Cancer doesn’t care about lifetime limits”, 69-year-old Elise Winters said at the rally. Those entitled to Social Security disability benefits must still wait 29 months from their onset date before Medicare coverage begins. After the Affordable Care Act’s passage, Iowa was able to lower property taxes, thanks in part to increased federal money covering health care costs, he said, adding that repeal would mean a “bigly” increase in property taxes. His administration has already begun chipping away at the law, and Trump said Republicans could have done “politically something good” by waiting for the law to collapse. It’s one Reed said he was “taking a hard look at and is generally supportive of”.

Just recently, McAuliffe said, “We were anxious about straight out repeal”.

Donovan said, “That’s no way to create or vote on legislation”.

The draft replaces the ACA’s subsidies with an age-adjusted tax credit that would total $2,000 for individuals under 30 and $4,000 for those over 60.

Republicans hold a slim 52-48 majority in the Senate.
