Trump now says he wants to pull plug on ACA subsidies in 2018, less then a month ago he said he wanted to continue them (premium, solution)

That doesn't mean he changed his views on ACA anymore than the decision to not request funding for the wall in this bill means he is now against a wall.

Well if he is against subsidies he can simply drop the appeal by the White House and they will be done, entirely his decision. The ACA will fail and they can replace it either GOP plan they celebrated in the Rose Garden last month. He has been rather quiet, I wonder why?

I would opt out. It should be voluntary.

Let's stop making believe that the GOP has a credible alternative, time to be for something rather than against the ACA.

I beg your pardon. This early retiree buys her health insurance on the exchange.
We don't qualify for a subsidy, but I am grateful for the opportunity to be insured.
Keep the ACA, I don't trust the insurance companies and their shady fake insurance.

You would opt out until you need healthcare, then you would opt in.

Nope, I would then have my private insurance tailored to me and not for deadbeats.

See how it works?

Good for you but there will always be people that if allowed will refuse to pay unless required.

Amen.

Hoping admin does not re-appeal Monday, which would force everyone to formally recognize the years long ACA death spiral.

And those people should pay the price for their short sighted thinking. The ACA is a a bad law and always was. It is misnamed. It should have been called the unaffordable care act.
