[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So now that I don't have my subsidy anymore do I still have to have insurance? Without my subsidy my monthly bill is 350. That's a lot of money for me. What about next year. [/quote]
The liberal media, in trying to make Trump look as bad as possible, has misleading headlines all over the place. The premium insurance subsidies are NOT going away. It's only the cost-sharing subsidies, which were ruled illegal by a court, that are being discontinued. You will continue to get taxpayer assistance to pay for your insurance, just like this year.[/quote]

What is the difference? What is the cost sharing subsidy?[/quote]
I am running out now.....yes, a life beyond DCUM....and don't have time to explain. I'll come back later this afternoon to explain (but if someone else wants to do it, have at it),[/quote]
That's correct.. the ^PP premium is capped according to ACA rules.  But, the actual premium will probably go up, and it's the upper middle income folks that will get screwed.  Trump's EO is not well thought out in terms of who is going to get screwed by this. It's not the lower/middle who's premiums are capped. It's the middle/upper who don't qualify - a large % of his base.

Huh? I thought the libsters kept demeaning his "base" as the uneducated working class, who will still be protected with subsidies if their premiums go over 9% of MAGI. So if you're earning $40k, you'll pay around $300 for a silver plan. Without it, if you're in your 50s, you'd pay at least twice that.

But now you're saying that the middle/upper gets screwed by rising premiums? Nothing new there. Obamacare set in place a scheme that has caused premiums to rise an average of 20% a year - even 50% in some states - even doubling in a state or two! That's what people have been screaming about for years. Now just you watch, all the libs will be blaming Trump for next year's increase.
