The AC under Trumpattack

Robert Reich

Trump's efforts to undermine the Affordable Care Act are doing serious damage to the insurance market, according to a new report by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. Analysts predict that premiums will rise 15 percent next year because of the Trump Administration's efforts. Here are 3 ways they're sabotaging the Act:
1) Threatening to withhold federal dollars to states that have expanded Medicaid under the Act.
2) Diverting funding for marketing campaign designed to promote enrollment to a campaign criticizing the Act.
3) Scaling back outreach efforts.
This is petty and vindictive. There are lives on the line. Millions of Americans depend on these insurance markets for care. If Trump let's the Affordable Care Act fail, it's up to us to hold him and the Republicans fully accountable.

What do you think?
