Really... you think the millionaire execs were only making this much because of ACA? I have an idea.. why don't you tell Trump and Rs to curb their pay and bring down the cost. Maybe that would help ALL Americans. What do you say to that? I'm all for it. You think Trump will go for it?

Before Obamacare: Health care execs made millions, and the lower middle class could afford a once-a-year vacation.

Under Obamacare: Health care execs still make millions, and the lower middle class can't afford a once-a-year vacation.

See the difference?

I doubt Trump will make things better, but it's weird that liberals can't understand that folks have good reason to be unhappy with their ridiculously crappy with their health care plans under Obamacare.

Are you f*n kidding me? Prior to ACA MILLIONS didn't have insurance. Seriously, what the hell do you think ACA was trying to address. The lower/middle class were being helped by the subsidies, but only if their governor accepted the medicaid expansion. And several red states didn't expand their medicaid program so their lower/middle income people couldn't afford the healthinsurance. Please tell me you knew this part.

I'll say it again: If someone needed to tighten their belt to pay for the poor, it should have been the rich health care execs, not the lower middle class.

I'll say it again: class warfare is pitting poor against the rich. No wonder everyone with any brains is offshoring.

You are owed nothing by the rich and as time goes on, you'll simply be lowering your requirements for the definition of rich to anyone who earns more than $40,000 a year. And then $30,000 a year. And so on.

Sorry. If the rich live in America, they should have to pay up just like everyone else does.

Which country are you planning to move to where the rich don't have to pay into the system?

The rich pay. It's special pleaders like you who don't.

Probably not. But we also know for sure it's not the Dems because they did otherwise. They actually had the opportunity, and they chose to screw over the lower middle class instead.

Dems voted for the subsidies. Rs fought against it. Dems wanted to cover millions of uninsured. Rs never put forth any alternative to do this. Who exactly was trying to screw over the lower/middle class in this scenario?

Obamacare is called Obamacare because it's Obama's health care plan. It was passed by Ds and Is in the Senate - no Rs. The Dems own it.

Trump broke it. He owns it.

Yes, that's right. Still shows that it was the Dems that tried to help the lower/middle class and not the Rs, which is what was being addressed not "who owns ACA".

shoulda woulda coulda.... but now Trump is in charge. What is he going to do about it? Gut it so that millions lose healthcare coverage? How does that help? We have a problem here. Instead of focusing on "who's at greater fault", how about we all focus on how to make it better? That's why McCain voted against the repeal twice, because he wants to have something that both sides can agree on, that helps those who are struggling. What Trump and the rest of the Rs have proposed doesn't help these folks, and as he stated, it's a flash in the pan solution, a solution that will sway with the political wind until the power switches to the other side. Then they will want something else. It's untenable. Fix it once and for all. Expand medicaid to include even more people. That is the only way it will help the lower/middle class.

NO. The Dems tried to help the lower class, and in the process screwed over the middle class. All they did was switch who can afford medical care. Now the lower class get all the free care, and the middle class has to go without.

Define "middle class" because for a family of four with a HHI of $97K, they could get subsidies.

Also, those in the middle class (and others) who couldn't get insurance due to pre-existing conditions were also helped by ACA.

I hope people who choose to buy cheap insurance policies across state lines are willing to spend a lot of time reading all the fine print so they actually know what their cheap policy covers. Will it be there for you if you have a long and expensive illness. Will it cover services that help keep you healthy?
With the ACA the government ensured that all health insurance policies hit a minimum standard.

People don't read their policies now. Also in my case, I read my policy but Aetna refused to honor it because they made a mistake.

Also, for that family of four with that HHI, your expected contribution to a silver plan is 9.69% of your income.

https://www.healthinsurance.org/obamacare/will-you-receive-an-obamacare-premium-subsidy/

So, unless Trump does away with this part of the provision (set limit of how much you contribute based on your income), if the premiums go up for these folks (which it will if the EO goes through), guess who will be paying for the difference? It will be the higher earners, ie, the middle/upper.

And if the insurance companies pull out of the exchange because they are no longer getting those subsidies, then *EVERYONE* who gets private insurance from those companies will lose coverage.

Congratulations! Now the ACA has imploded and millions have lost coverage.
