WE HAVE
A DEAL.
A LOT OF PEOPLE'S PREMIUMS WERE ABOUT TO GO UP, ALMOST 30%
IN SOME CASES.
WE WOULD ADD $194,000
TO THE DEFICIT AND PEOPLE WOULD LOSE THEIR INSURANCE.
WHAT IS THE UPSIDE?
NONE.
HE JUST SAID HE WANTS TO DESTROY OBAMA CARE.
NOW REPUBLICANS WORKED ALONG THE DEMOCRATS TO TRY TO FIX IT.
FIRST I WILL TELL YOU THE NEWS.
THAT MEANS WE ARE BACK TO NORMAL FOR TWO MORE YEARS AT LEAST
IN THAT REGARD.
LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT STATE FLEXIBILITY.
THAT IS NOT A COMPLETELY WRONG COMPLAINT BUT DURING THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION PART OF THE REASON THEY WANTED TO MAKE SURE
ñ YOUR PLAN HAD TO BE BETTER THAN THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT,
EITHER PREMIUMS ARE LOWER OR IT COVERS MORE THINGS AND IT
COULD NOT TAKE AWAY THINGS LIKE COVERAGE FOR PRE-EXISTING
CONDITIONS.
THEY LOOSEN THAT UP, THEN SOME PLANS MIGHT NOT BE AS GOOD AS
THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT.
YOU HAVE TO WATCH OUT FOR THOSE TRICKS.
REPUBLICANS CAN'T WAIT TO PUT MORE RESPONSIBILITY ON THE
STATE.
THIS DEAL IF IT COMES TO FRUITION IS NOT THE END OF THE
WORLD, IT IS ACTUALLY A GOOD THING OVERALL.
IN FACT TRUMP SAID THIS WHEN ASKED ABOUT THE DEAL.
THAT IS ALSO POSITIVE SO WHY ARE THEY DOING IT?
WHY WOULD
REPUBLICANS WANT TO DO SOMETHING THAT WOULD SHORE UP THE
AFFORDABLE CARE ACT AND NOT DESTROY IT?
BECAUSE THEY WERE
COMPLAINING TO PRES.
TRUMP BEFORE HE SIGNED THAT EXECUTIVE
ORDER THAT THIS WILL TAKE INTO EFFECT IMMEDIATELY.
I
CAN'T BLAME THE DEMOCRATS ON THAT TOO EXTENDED FOR TWO
YEARS IS A GOOD THING.
IN WHICH CASE THEY CAN'T REPEAL THIS PROVISION ANYMORE.
IF I WAS PATTY MURRAY I WOULD'VE DONE THE DEAL ASSUMING IT GOES
ALL THE WAY THROUGH.
BUT UNDERSTAND WHY THE REPUBLICANS ARE DOING IT,
IT IS THEIR INSURANCE POLICY FOR NOT LOSING THEIR SEATS IN
2018, THERE IS NO OTHER REASON WHY THEY WOULD'VE DONE IT.
OVERALL GOOD FOR AMERICA, GOD BLESS.
