No - that's why they are inquiring about it through the system.

Yours would be a good argument for sanctuary cities.

"Sanctuary City" is meaningless as there is no such thing.

Is the goal defeat Trump at every opportunity, or improving the opportunities for people to handle their health care?
The options on the table would take us back to a time when people with pre-existing conditions couldn't get insurance, is that really what you consider an improvement?

Because private health insurers did such a great job when they were in charge?

But you hate government subsidies, so I'm sure if you got one you would turn it down,right?

Nobody rejected Trumps healthcare plan, this is a silly title. But there WILL be changes to healthcare plans, like it or not, because what we have isn't doable long term. Everyone knows it.

Profitable? That's what you call it?

After years of losses, the U.S. health insurance industry figured out how make money from Obamacare last year, a new analysis shows.

The secret? Raising their prices.

The average cost of health insurance plans sold in the individual market climbed about 22 percent in 2017, as insurers boosted premiums well above what they spent on medical care.


A law passed by Congress repealed the requirement that all people have health insurance, and the Trump administration has pushed to let companies offer health plans that don’t comply with the ACA’s rules.

To make up for those risks, some insurers are requesting big rate increases again for 2019.


It's getting much more expensive and that's a good thing. Hip Hip hooray.

Start requiring ACA recipients to be drug tested, then you'll see how fast they'll want ACA dropped.

What does this statement even mean? Are you seriously suggesting you believe anyone who gets health insurance through the ACA is on drugs???
