Trump's Tweets Threaten To Destabilize Insurance Markets

Trump's Tweets Threaten To Destabilize Insurance Markets
August 1, 20175:00 AM ET

President Trump took to Twitter this week to threaten insurance companies that he may withhold crucial government payments in an effort to undermine the Affordable Care Act.

Trump, who is angry that the Congress failed to pass a law to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, is wielding his threat to withhold these CSRs — which could cause chaos in the insurance markets – in hopes of forcing lawmakers back to the table to try again to get rid of the health care law.
