White House to pitch a Trump Obamacare extension with limits

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

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.

6. So, he has no ideas. Not even concepts of a plan.

He’s just going to continue Obamacare but hold it out as a cudgel to hurt people he doesn’t like. What a buffoon.

7. "new limits on eligibility"

Aka preexisting conditions? He seems to have missed the whole point of Obamacare.

9. To be fair, new limits proposed are 700% of poverty level, rather than 800%. They ain't going back to pre-existing

conditions.

10. Basically, barely change it and then pretend they overhauled it.

I hope it passes.

People look at 700 or 800% and think that's doing well, and it is. But this is a lot of self employed people or people who run small businesses.

[Silent Type]

11. Totally agree. But the goal right now is to make sure all those folks can continue what coverage they have.

Hopefully, we can improve coverage next few years.

12. Isn't the time for choosing plans over?

People who couldn't afford new amounts might have already quit plans. If they do this would have to open open enrollment for another month.
