Today’s Action: Last day to save the ACA from Trump’s sabotage
Today is your last day to speak up for the Affordable Care Act (ACA, Obamacare, the thing that gave health coverage to 19 million previously uninsured Americans). In his latest attempt at sabotage, Trump is pushing changes that will drop coverage for two million Americans, and increase premiums and out-of-pocket costs for everyone else. The Federal Register is collecting public comments on Trump’s plans – and there are two changes in particular that need our outcry.
One of Trump’s changes is eliminating auto-reenrollment, a vitally important consumer protection. Currently, auto-reenrollment means you don’t have to do anything to keep your plan. This feature is used by millions of Americans who don’t need one more thing to do and remember at the end of every single year.
Trump’s second proposed change that needs massive protest is eliminating silver loading (strategically matching federal subsidies with low-income recipients) that many insurance companies used to keep ACA plans affordable after Trump’s first round of sabotage.
The two changes may not sound flashy, but gutting either would have monumental impact on the ACA — and Trump is going after both of them in his petty quest to undo Obama’s legacy achievement.
Don’t let him get away with it!
