Ugh, block grants are awful. Also, going on how many years, and still no plan, except to screw poor people? -- nm - MDH Oct 17, 11:42 1
- This plan isn't block grants, I don't think. It doesn't change the fundamentals of ACA, for the most part. See NYT link below. - ty97 Oct 17, 11:43
Schumer on the Alexander/Murray deal: "We think it's a good solution and it got broad support" from Dem Caucus at lunch today -- (link) - ty97 Oct 17, 11:37 17

  - This is what Trump wanted. For them to do it. And he has already said something in support of this. -- nm - Spawn Oct 17, 11:40 1
    - Mr. Trump said he was aware of the deal, describing the effort as very close to a “short term” solution. - Spawn Oct 17, 11:41
  - Donny probably won't veto, as long as he gets to say he repealed and replaced Obamacare he'd sign anything -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 17, 11:40 5
    - This isn't repeal or replace. It's a 2-year deal to continue subsidy funding, with a few tweaks, basically punting the long-term solution again -- nm - ty97 Oct 17, 11:41 4

        I'm not really sure. They were talking about a bipartisan deal of this type pre-EO, so I'm not really sure what this does or why it's needed. - ty97 Oct 17, 11:47 1
        
        The (stated) reason for the EO is that it is an appropriation that should go through Congress. - spamlet Oct 17, 12:05
      - Years of "planning" no results. -- nm - MDH Oct 17, 11:42
  - No clue at this point. No clue what Trump thinks of it at this point. It's only a 2-year deal even if it passes -- nm - ty97 Oct 17, 11:40 1
    - No clue if the 'repeal and replace' House will even be willing to pass it. Lots of uncertainty right now -- nm* - ty97 Oct 17, 11:40
- NYT on deal (which, of course, needs to pass House and Senate still) -- (link) - ty97 Oct 17, 11:38 5
  - But if insurance companies have already priced in the end of the subsidies... - spamlet Oct 17, 11:42 4
    - What znu said below. Also, while the timing isn't great, a deal at any time will help the markets for next year. Have to take what you can get -- nm - ty97 Oct 17, 11:46

      - Every time I heard/saw a news story about the end of the subsidies they said that. -- nm - spamlet Oct 17, 11:48
    - Are they still required to rebate any excess profits to their policy holders or was that just a temporary measure at the beginning? -- nm - znufrii Oct 17, 11:44
This dude is just trying to get followers. -- nm - Spawn Oct 17, 11:35
