ACA Further Undermined



The Trump administration has introduced a rule change which would allow states to request waivers from some of the Act’s important requirements. Insured patients may find themselves unable to afford healthcare after having been tempted into lower-cost options which do not offer full coverage. The rule change would also leave the ACA pool with sicker customers and thus higher payments. It’s all part of the GOP plan to strangle Obamacare slowly.

Action:

1. Contact your Member of Congress and your Senators - Ask them to protest the DHSS rule change and demand that states not be allowed to request waivers.

2. Tweet to Donald Trump to protest the rule change to the ACA - states should not be allowed to request waivers.

3. Tweet to Seema Verma, the Trump administration official for implementing the rule change. Complain!
