Federal Judge Rejects Trump’s Junk Healthcare Plans That Cover Nothing
THEY ARE TRYING TO TAKE AWAY YOUR HEALTHCARE.
A federal judge in Washington ruled late Thursday [March 28, 2019] that the Trump administration’s push to make health insurance plans available outside the Affordable Care Act that avoid the requirements of the health-care law was illegal, calling the efforts “clearly an end-run around the ACA.”
U.S. District Judge John D. Bates of the District of Columbia blocks new rules from the Trump administration... which allow small businesses to.... to offer plans outside the ACA that would both be less expensive and provide fewer health protections.
The ACA made it unlawful for health insurance companies to sell "junk" policies. Republicans admitted they were trying to subvert that. THEY ARE TELLING YOU THEY ARE TRYING TO TAKE AWAY YOUR HEALTHCARE.
“The Final Rule is clearly an end-run around the ACA,” Bates, an appointee of President George W. Bush, wrote in the Thursday ruling. “Indeed, as the President directed, and the Secretary of Labor confirmed, the Final Rule was designed to expand access to AHPs to avoid the most stringent requirements of the ACA.”
Trump and his Republican handlers support the "right" of insurance companies to cheat their customers and sell them a worthless product.
The news comes amid a renewed effort by Trump and his administration to pivot toward health care ahead of 2020. Last week, the White House outlined how “choice and competition in health care markets” was beneficial for the consumer. On Tuesday, the administration made a surprise move to strike down the ACA yet again, when the Justice Department argued that the Obama-era law should be thrown out in its entirety.
