    Trump's latest moves increase costs for taxpayers and anyone who has to buy insurance on their own--especially people w chronic illness.

        FWIW I don’t get an insurance subsidy. Trump/GOP just made sure my premiums will go up at least 4K next year. Cruelty & stupidity combined.

        In the same boat but with MS will probably go up more. Maybe time to give up self-employment.

        The ACA allowed for entrepreneurship and self-employment. With my surgery-repaired eyes I’ll be SOL if the ACA is mostly gutted.

        Trump is way out of touch on healthcare insurance and healthcare in general. He is obviously playing to his base to the detriment of many.

        Pardon me for stating the obvious but shouldn’t we be calling on the medical profession to cut costs?

        NO. It restores law and negates illegal Obama executive order that subsidized insurance companies. SHOCKING IGNORANCE from a doctor.

        As a small employer, my insurance costs under Obamacare went up 500% in four years.#Repeal and replace.

        It may be what makes it possible for those forced out of the market by #ACA rules on AHPs to get back in again. #UsedToHaveInsurance

        Letting them issue plans without essential benefits is horrible for the consumer because the costs for these are brutal & occur unexpectedly

        Basically if Drumpf does something, you can be knee jerk reflexively sure it is the exact wrong choice and will be harmful to many long term
