Stef 61,674 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 After meeting with President Barack Obama, President-elect Donald Trump appears to have reversed his position on repealing Obamacare. One of the President-elect’s biggest promises on the campaign trail was his vow to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, particularly in the wake of health insurance providers pledging to raise the price of coverage by double digits in coming years. However, it appears the outgoing president has convinced Trump to keep his signature legislation. As of this writing, Trump has only said he would amend it, and that repealing the law outright may not be his plan going forward. The position is a shocker to many, particularly Congressional Republicans like Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan. McConnell has said repealing Obamacare is “pretty high” on his list of priorities for the next four years, and Ryan is asking Trump to allow him to privatize Medicare and gut Obamacare, according to Salon. The UK-based Independent reported that President-elect Trump and President Obama discussed some of the ongoing difficulties the country faces, but also reflected on the highlights of the past 8 years, which has been interpreted as praise for the Affordable Care Act. The healthcare law, which has allowed over 20 million Americans to have access to health insurance since 2010, is proving popular in the wake of the election, with over 100,000 Americans signing up for Affordable Care Act plans on healthcare.gov in the past 48 hours. Americans have until January 31, 2017 to enroll in or change existing health coverage for the 2017 calendar year Source: http://usuncut.com/politics/trump-obamacare-repeal/ Well well well Signature loading… 👹🖤 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuMetal 68 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 He told the Wall Street Journal he favours keeping two main parts of the bill because "I like those very much". One is a ban on insurers denying coverage for pre-existing conditions. The other provision that the president-elect told the newspaper he favours allows young adults to be insured on their parents' policies. http://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2016-37953528 its only 2 clauses, dont get your hopes up. kind of a misleading title Upset the Established Order.

TheFame Monster 9,020 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 "Every American deserves access to high quality, affordable health care, not just insurance. Obamacare has failed on cost and quality of health care. It must be repealed. America needs a patient-centered health care system, allowing families and their doctors to be primary decision makers. Provide for the sale of health insurance across state lines." He only wants to fix the issues and cost of the Affordable Care Act, not get rid of it. Way to take things out of context as usual.

Benji 20,113 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Could be a good or a bad thing. I kind of liked his proposal for a replacement. Lower tax, make people pay for insurance but only for the states they wish. It could have meant people in general paid less but people who travel a lot or businesses that force people to travel would have to pay a higher price generating more money? Hmm, regardless, I'm happy there's still a decent system in place! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
