Trump Executive Orders Threaten Healthcare of Millions

Amid a flurry of executive orders, some of which were signed live on TV on inauguration night, the US president issued several orders that repeal Biden-era directives that had expanded healthcare access and options for lower-income and middle-class Americans.

Those orders are expected to affect the medical insurance coverage for upwards of 20 million people in the US.

Comments

"Trump's actions this week will affect all aspects of the ACA, including eligibility requirements, federal subsidies and enrollment deadlines, which determine when Americans can apply for insurance, without repealing the act, which would take action from the US Congress.

But the actions are expected to create more barriers and result in healthcare coverage becoming even less accessible.

In a one-page document published by Politico, Trump outlines options for spending cuts. These plans include measures that would reduce the amount of money states have to fund Medicaid and limiting health program eligibility depending on citizenship status.

Every option listed involves cutting funding for and access to healthcare coverage."

Thanks, Trumpers!

Good! People should suffer the ramifications of their poor decisions.

The FAFO educational process will be on full display for the next four to twelve years. And then for another 30 to 60 years while the GOP/Trump SCOTUS reminds us of why voting GOP/Jill Stein/Ralph Nader for the preceding forty years may not have been a great idea.

Is it possible Stephen Miller is feeding Trump this crap and piling it on in hopes of seeing millions of bodies in the streets in protest, to which they can offer some heinous response?

My main concern with the Trump administration and the health of the Country is that Pres Trump seems to be moving towards an area where he dictates the health of the Country.

Nominating a person to lead the nation's health, a person who has no degree in medicine or health (his degrees are in law)[1]. A person who pleaded guilty to heroin possession.

Yet, Pres Trump has nominated this person to lead the health of the Country going forward.

But he seems to be willingly, and upon demand, kiss the most ample derriere of Pres Trump.

And that seems to be the deciding criteria for a Trump nominee.

He did say he had something along the lines of a plan. He didn't say anything about you liking or benefiting from it.

FTA:

"Some of the Biden-era orders Trump has already repealed include executive order 14009, or the Strengthening Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act, which broadened access for Americans and their families, allowing more parents with young children to be eligible for more extensive coverage. Some estimates suggest that this repeal alone could result in a nearly 25% loss of ACA coverage."

We tried to tell you magat scum. We tried to tell you and tell you and tell you.

These cuts are targeted at poor working class Americans, you know the magat scum.

Fuck you, get what you want. Eat your tumors, that'll be about all you can afford.
