Trump Suggests Doing Away with ACA Marketplace and Giving Subsidies to Consumers Directly

by Scott Creighton

And now for an unexpected twist... TrumpyBear suggested yesterday that government give the ACA subsidies directly to the consumers instead of to Big Insurance companies involved in the portals. He says they should shut down 'ObamaCare' entirely and let the people pick some other companies instead.

' I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies in order to save the bad Healthcare provided by ObamaCare, BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE, and have money left over. In other words, take from the BIG, BAD Insurance Companies, give it to the people, and terminate, per Dollar spent, the worst Healthcare anywhere in the World, ObamaCare. Unrelated, we must still terminate the Filibuster!' TrumpyBear

I'm not sure why he would post something like this.Is it a troll? Is he just adding fuel to the convoluted fire to keep the discussion going longer so Russ Vought can keep destroying the government one program at a time? Does he have a bigger plan like maybe doing away with the ACA marketplace and shifting the nation to Dr. Oz's pet project, privatized Medicare ADVANTAGE for All?

Maybe he just has a thing for Humana and other private insurance companies not on the portal. Who knows with him. 

His post was from yesterday morning at 9am so maybe he was just up all night on Adderall or some shit.

It's worth noting and keeping track of because he rarely comes up with ideas like this on his own.
