More people have signed up for policies than at this time a year ago, but Obamacare supporters fear that many potential enrollees may not realize that the Trump administration cut the sign-up season in half. In fact, 56% of those consumers shopping online for health insurance at eHealth said they are unaware that open enrollment ends Friday, the insurance marketplace said this week.
Aside from several defunding bills and removing the tax penalty for the individual mandate in the current tax change proposal, I see a few more options next year for the GOPers to implement death by a thousand cuts for Obamacare.
Repeal of Net Neutrality - Now internet companies can slow the Obamacare site down to 24 baud.
Trump could also sign an executive order outlawing internet access at libraries (I imagine a fair number of applicants use that resource) in the interest of national security since Radical Islamist Terrorists could use that to look up bomb making!
And of course shorten the window further - to about 8 hours.
So, one of the things the new tax bill is going to do is get rid of the "individual mandate"...
The "individual mandate" being something that the Republicans under Newt Gingrich wanted...which was basically one of the things primary things that kept the Republicans from cutting a health care bill with President Clinton.
So now they are getting closer to what the Clintons wanted all along...under the guise of getting rid of what Obama wanted....
These 21st century Republicans are morons...
I wonder why the Democrats aren't having a major hissy fit about it...
Talk about
reverse psychology...
