***Official Political Discussion Thread***

Apparently this executive order is based on what Rand Paul told him to do


Lol we are ****ed
 
Solution? Just go through back-channels and force the change you want. Do everything possible to not support ACA properly, then unilaterally make the changes in an executive order anyway.

ACA is failing you do realize this right? American families are getting hit hard with that ACA tax penalty because obviously these taxpayers do not care to purchase expensive health insurance and rightfully so.

Per IRS 2015 tax filing analysis
https://www.irs.gov/pub/newsroom/commissionerletteracafilingseason.pdf
Approximately 6.5 million taxpayers reported a total of $3.0 billion in individual shared responsibility payments. The average payment was around $470

Today's announcement isn’t a subsidy, nor additional tax but more so removing Govt regulations. The negative... No Govt oversight? Lower premiums with less benefits and no guarantee on mandatory coverages? Higher premiums for people with preexisting or sick people due to young/healthy Americans leaving the exchanges? Obviously the idiots in Washington on both aisles and within their own respective parties cannot compromise so as a result this is what we are left with.... Executive orders.

The ACA was passed by the legislative branch and signed into law. If you wish to repeal and replace it, you go through the same process and hash it out. There is an order of doing things involved here.

So they fail miserably at that, despite their control of both houses and the presidency...so he just passes an executive order anyway. Obama would be a "tyrant" for doing it.

You obviously have no idea the effort Republicans have put into picking away at the ACA since it was put into law to cripple it (including intentionally shortening enrollment periods and taking the site down constantly), so I won't even engage with you further.

Enjoy this president acting like a dictator when he can't get his way until it affects your life negatively.
 


Holy false equivalence :sick:

I love the usual write white trick when criticizing Coates, the ole "Oh I'm not it ignorant about racism.....lemme link to a black person that has an issue with Coates"

The NYT Op-Ed was linked even more buffoonery. I swear there is a coalition of "why can't Coates talk about class" brothers just waiting to get the call whenever Coates writes anything.

Yes ACA was a piece of legislation signed into law. Yes Trump and his band of idiots cannot work together to repeal. And yes Republicans wanted ACA to fail.. just like the Democrats want Trump to fail. Not that hard to understand DC politics.

Regardless of all that... what you fail to understand is simple facts. ACA is failing based on CBO analysis from 2010. Look at the stats.. low enrollment, increase deductibles and premiums, families losing their Doctors because their Medical groups are getting ousted in the health plan's network, insurers are now leaving the exchange meaning less options, and for the 2016 tax filing season, the IRS will NOT go after taxpayers who do not pay the penalty for not having health insurance so consequently there goes the mandate. The entire system is crumbling.
 


The old strategy was is working just fine but it has the disadvantage of being signed by a black man...can't have Obama's name on anything under the new regime

Well at least defense stock's are gonna skyrocket when they're back on the war footing with Iran...
