[Thomas Hurt]

start to sabotage the ACA?

[crazycatlady]

1. It's been happening for 7 years

[rzemanfl]

2. Yes, it has. n/t

[malaise]

3. Michael Moore is talking about that on Chris Hayes n/t

[GP6971]

4. It started long ago. n/t

[coco22]

5. They are working on it now..

and their talking points.

[flamingdem]

6. They already did by ending the mandate

now it's not enforced, that means billions in funding per year.

[Control-Z]

7. Did they really end the mandate?

If they did I heard nothing about it. When? Why haven't we talked about it here? Or have we?

Wow! How could I miss something like that?

[flamingdem]

8. Trump instructed the IRS not to enforce

in Feb. I think

[Control-Z]

14. I guess I did hear something about that.

There wasn't a lot of talk about it here, was there? It seemed to come and go in a day, iirc.

I wonder what percentage of insured are insured only because of the mandate.

[Squinch]

9. They are really going to step it up now. I hate to say it but we're in for a bad ride.

10. By stopping the IRS from enforcing the individual mandate, they are already

doing their best to screw it up even worse than they have been doing all along.

Heck, all of the things in the ACA that weaken its effectiveness and leave it vulnerable to the games insurance companies and right wing governors play were stuck in there as a compromise to get it passed.They were things the GOP and turncoat DINOs like Lieberman insisted on, but even with all those compromises, the GOP still didn't give the ACA a single vote (which is why the Dems were forced to appease Lieberman and the other DINOs).

11. How long?

Immediately is my guess.

[MFM008]

12. BUT

They still couldn't get a bill through with control of all 3 branches of government.

[KewlKat]

13. I'm sure they've already begun...............plan B whether they want to admit it or not..........
