Obamacare 'Explosion' Could Come Soon… Why? Because Obamacare Depends On Taxpayer Bailouts!

Socialism BTFO!
Obamacare 'Explosion' Could Come Soon… Why? Because Obamacare Depends On Taxpayer Bailouts!

After a stunning 'defeat' last week, delivered at the hands of his own party no less, Trump took to twitter to predict the imminent 'explosion' of Obamacare.

"ObamaCare will explode and we will all get together and piece together a great healthcare plan for THE PEOPLE. Do not worry!"

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 25, 2017

"The Democrats will make a deal with me on healthcare as soon as ObamaCare folds - not long. Do not worry, we are in very good shape!"

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 28, 2017

As it turns out, that 'explosion' could come faster than anyone really expects as legislators and health insurers have to make several critical decisions about the 2018 plan year over the next 2 months which could seal Obamacare's fate.

As the Atlanta Journal Constitution points out today, the Trump administration has until May 22nd to decide whether they will continue to pursue the Obama administration's appeal to provide subsidies to insurers who participate in the federal exchanges.

Of course, any decision to remove those subsidies would likely result in yet another massive round of premium hikes and further withdrawals from the already crippled exchanges where an astounding number of counties across the country have already been cut to just 1 health insurance provider. And, as we've pointed out before, higher rates = lower participation = deterioration of risk pool = higher rates….and the cycle just repeats until it eventually collapses!

As background, in 2014, House Republicans sued the Obama administration over the constitutionality of the cost-sharing reduction payments (a.k.a. "taxpayer funded healthcare subsidies"), which had not been appropriated by Congress. Republicans won the initial lawsuit but the Obama administration subsequently appealed and now Trump's administration can decide whether to pursue the appeal or not.

The Trump administration and House lawmakers have to report to the judge this spring. If the Trump administration drops the appeal, it would mean the subsidies would stop being paid — a huge blow to the marketplaces and millions of people. If lawmakers wanted the payments to continue, they would have to find a way to fund them. One opportunity for that is coming up fast, the continuing resolution that must be passed by April 28. If the Trump administration continues the lawsuit, it will be in the odd position of fighting its own party.

The CBO estimates the payments would total roughly $10 billion in 2018.

As we've noted before, several large insurers, including UnitedHealth Group and Aetna, have already made the decision to exit Obamacare due to financial losses. Now, Molina Healthcare is also pondering whether it would be able to continue to participate in the absence of federal subsidies.

This is great news! The Dems are freaking out. They have been BTFO! And the establishment Republicans can't save Obamacare either, even if they wanted to!

It's all up to the Don folks! No bailouts = complete Obamacare collapse!

Democrats had their chance. Now they have to witness their failure and talk it out with Trump once and for all.

Well that's sooner than I expected.

If they brought the hammer down on kike insurance scammers a huge portion of the problem would be handled.

There's still plenty of fat at doctor's offices too. I went to a specialist recently, the same one seen three years ago. The first time there were three clerks who spent most of their time gabbing. They handed you paperwork, scanned in what you filled out, and collected your co-pay. Now this time there was a fourth person, reception, whose only job was to hand you the paperwork before going back to her angry birds. I saw a total of 6 people for a total of about 15 people-minutes of contact. That included a nurse and a nurse-in-training. No doctor this time. I'm waiting to see how much they charged the insurance for this.

I have to ask again. Ryan basically had free reign to set up wholly (almost) privatized laissez faire health care system that Trump promised on the campaign trial, but wanted a complex 3 part bullshit plan instead. Why the fuck would he do that?

Cuckservative isn't a name, its a way of life.

there goes king nigger's legacy, a FAILURE.

Sounds to me like healthcare needs to be nationalised and militarised.

What kind of gay faggot formats their OPs like this?

Paul Ryan is a corporate stooge. If it had gone past stage 1 you know damn well he would have shot down any chances of being able to buy insurance across state lines, or even price transparency.

Ryan effectively wrote that bill so instead of Obama bleeding you dry, the insurance companies can keep their regional monopolies and they can bleed you dry.

Would not surprise me at all if Trump was "endorsing" it only as an act so Ryan can get fucked over like he did.

In any case, letting Obamacare go on to its eventual implosion, without being repealed first is actually good. Show everyone how great socialized medicine really is when you run out of other people's money.

It's the exact format from the article, so zerohedge is the gay faggot you're looking for.

Also this is exciting, I'd rather have Obamacare blow up sooner than later, it can only get worse as time goes on. Maybe if the worthless lefties moved to Canada like they promised we could get it taken out

Assuming Obamacare explodes on that date, what will the economical and financial consequences be?

The entire healthcare system explodes in a massive fireball leaving tens of millions in limbo.
It will be massive and extremely spectacular.
Trump will then go full Ron Paul and ask why didn't everyone listen.

My God, he truly did plan for Ryancare to fail all along.

If this is such a colossal way to fuck over Obamacare that is in the hands of the Don, why haven't we heard of this before? Why aren't the lefties and (((MSM))) kvetching up a fucking storm? Because they know that Obamacare is turbofucked?

Because Ryan didn't write it, his masters did

More than Obamacare explosion, Obama explosion is the most awaited for event…

In the 1970s healthcare was like 3% of the economy. It is now 20% and rising. So, the consequences will be nuclear.

(checked)
Which would increase the likelihood of civil unrest I guess.


Thank you, could you elaborate a little. Like would it increase debt?

I remember how quiet they were when trump removed the mandate and payment. They knew it was all over.

user I…

This whole healthcare thing was 4D chess.

Trump knew the cucks were too butthurt and stubborn to allow Ryancare to pass. This situation makes Trump look good because he warned them it would fail and made an effort to replace it before it did.

Kek.

Oh yeah. You don't even know. Expect every one of your local Walgreens and CVS' getting knocked over. You think people want to be denied their cancer drugs, opioids, or even the shitty little college brats being told "No more adderall for you!"? I can't wait.

What a waste of dubs…Not talking about Trump, talking about wether Obongocare exploding would increase the debt.

It's possible that up to a million poor people could die without healthcare during the limbo.

Stop thinking like a cuck. Liberals take inches and never give them up, compromise is failure every time. The only option is to take all they have and what they've already taken.

Probably the most hilarious part about all this is that its the democrats making demands over health care. They thought Hillary was such a shoe in and now the fools are fucked.

>>>"Members of the Democratic caucus remain ready and willing to work with you on policies that would improve the stability of the individual insurance market," the senators write in the letter shared with The Washington Post. "We ask that you begin the work of improving health care for millions of Americans by rescinding your January 20th executive order."


>>>"Your administration must commit to putting an end to all efforts to unravel the ACA, undermine the health care system, increase costs, or hurt patients, providers and families," the letter tells Trump.

>>>"While we would welcome your sincere interest in bipartisan work to improve quality, lower costs, and expand coverage, we are concerned by your recent statement indicating it would be a good thing to make the ACA 'explode,'" they write, adding, "Instead, we urge you to use your executive authority to support a stable, competitive insurance marketplace."

These niggers are beyond arrogant. I hope he sinks it and rubs their fucking noses in it.

We're beyond the point where rubbing their noses in it would teach them anything. They need to die in their own filth.

It was also extremely affordable when the manufacturing sector went down everyone poured into health care as a sort of viable middle class living and it was then that it became a big over bloated business for profit because service sector is the new way of the future.

He's thinking like a strategist, user. The people need to witness Obamacare's collapse first hand. People have short attention spans and little understanding of how things work. Look at all the fear mongering about repealing Obamacare now. How many whine about how "they're going to take away health care from millions of people!"

If Americans witness the utter collapse of Obamacare, then it will be universally understood that it was complete shit. Anyone who abstains from fixing a ship that's not just sinking, but already completely under water will be seen as a partisan idiot. The democrats won't be able to pull the same shit as last time because everyone will have watched their stupidity crash and burn. And if they do pull the same shit as last time? Then republicans will just have to figure shit out amongst each other and stop being faggots. They have a majority if every single facet of US governent. All the while, democrats look like shit in the process.

No matter what their reaction, it's a win for the right. If they try to be obstructionist, they look like shit. If they work with republicans, then they look better but they give up their socialist agenda. It's a win-win situation.

As badly as I want this to happen, I can't help but be worried as to how this is going to affect things with my wife. She's in her second trimester, and with the way things are projected to be looking, I have to wonder as to what it's going to look like around when she actually does go into labor. I have no insurance currently due to being between jobs. But with a baby on the way, I can't help worrying now.

Too bad American healthcare is still a spaghetti law mess.

America needs to copy and paste a law from another first world country with universal healthcare but then again I can see why you don't. Too many shitskins.

I didn't believe it at first but seeing how much the few shitskins in Europe abuse healthcare like crazy and the costs are beginning to be untenable.

Could this be the straw that breaks the camels back? The trigger for massive US then global depression? The economic shitstorm precipice that we are teetering on and just need a minor shove for? The economic collapse that will elicit foot shortages and race wars the world over? The coming chaos that will fuel the rights ascension to unrivaled power and the uncucking of nations through bloodshed and misery? IS THIS IT?

foot shortages = food shortages. god fucking damnit

OK.

And Trump doesn't even need to do anything to make it happen.

(Twitter is such a cess pool. Overflowing with comments about 24 million people spared death, and great victory for LGBWTF+.)

Are you white?

The people most impacted will be the people with the worst health. Real civil unrest happens when you piss off young healthy men, not the elderly and infirmed.

Student debt bubble will be the next big one.

You deserved those quads. So glad I didn't throw 100k at Jewish mind control.

The student debt is more than $ 1 trillion so the yanks need to be prepped for the burst.

Criminally unchecked dubs responding to criminally unchecked post with criminally hilarious truth. Praise fucking kek motherfuckers.

Both of us are. She's Scot/German and I'm Irish. Last pregnancy ended in my wife needing emergency surgery due to it being nonviable, so it's where most of my concern is.

I have 125,000 in debt now, for law school, would only be about 90-100K if I had been able to live at home my first two years.

obamacare is a porky bill

Best wishes to you and your family, you lucky bastard

I hope all goes well user. Ill give kek and wotan some praise and thanks for your childs safe arrival and your ladys health.

Why do people think this is possible? These networks are setup overtime in specific areas, these companies can't just offer coverage in areas where they haven't established themselves.

Still not tired of winning.
But really, what did they expect to happen to a system where resources flow out of it at a faster rate than they flow in? That's just basic arithmetic.


I'll join this user in the well-wishing.

Your wife is beautiful. I'm sure your children will be as well. You're a pure 2D being, right? She obviously is.
