The New York Times: Reports " By ending the tax penalty for people who do not have coverage, beginning in 2019, Republicans may hasten the flight of customers who now pay the full cost of their insurance. Among those left behind under the umbrella of the Affordable Care Act would be people of modest means who qualify for Medicaid or receive sizable subsidies for private insurance. "
Lets Get Real:
As stated by this blog in a recent post, it does not have a problem with the community tax being used to pay for those that need health cover, in fact it can be argued that Candidate Trump in many ways stated that himself, one does wonder did Candidate Trump really think about it, by removing the Individual Mandate in his tax cut bill the Trump Oval has removed one of the major negative aspects of ObamaCare, thus if you trust the uber liberal NYT might have helped ObamaCare morph in to a greater Medicaid scheme. Of course time will tell with ObamaCare, on the international front there is the Obama's nuclear deal with Iran, what will the US Congress do about it, the Trump Oval has shoved the problem to them, will they confirm or revoke the deal, that should be an interesting debate next year. Thus it can be argued that in his own way Trump has saved ObamaCare plus for the future.
