Today’s Action: Stop Trump’s latest ACA sabotage – make a public comment by 2/19

Trump has proposed new changes to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) which will drop coverage for two million Americans, and increase premiums and out-of-pocket costs for the remaining. But those changes are now open for public comment, and there are two in particular that need your voices to save.

One of Trump’s changes is gutting auto-reenrollment, a vitally important consumer protection. Currently, if you forget to re-up your healthcare in November, auto-reenrollment means your plan assumes you’re continuing on with it. This feature is used by millions of Americans to stay insured without a hitch — because who hasn’t procrastinated on paperwork or lost that important piece of mail at least once in their life?

Trump’s second proposed change that needs massive vocal outcry 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 Federal Register public comment period is open until February 19. Don’t delay: leave your comment now staying you want to KEEP auto-reenrollment and silver loading.

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 quest to undo Obama’s legacy achievement.

Republicans learned the hard way in 2017 and 2018 when they tried to mess with our health, and their dirty swipes at Obamacare are the reason we hold the House today. Time to rally that great energy you’ve had the past two years — and this time, you don’t even have to talk to anyone.

Leave a public comment at the Federal Register today. Tell the goons in D.C. that they should NOT eliminate auto-reenrollment or silver loading. We’ve beaten them before to save Obamacare, and we’ll beat them again.
