(Crankers) Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., on Sunday criticized President Donald Trump’s recent proposal to redirect Affordable Care Act funds from insurance companies to individuals, saying it would harm the ACA’s protections for preexisting conditions.
Is Adam Schiff on ACA or does he have government insurance? That’s a big question because anyone talking about ACA should be ON IT if they want to see what it’s really like.
During an appearance on ABC’s “This Week” with George Stephanopoulos, Schiff described the idea as a rehash of repealing the ACA, replacing it with health savings accounts, and allowing insurers to deny coverage for preexisting conditions.
Trump had taken to social media on Saturday, claiming that reallocating ACA funds would enable Americans to purchase “much better healthcare” and still have money left over, instead of funneling the funds to “money-sucking Insurance Companies.”
Schiff also expressed concerns that Republicans might not honor any agreements Democrats might reach with them to end the government shutdown. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s Democratic proposal on Friday included a one-year extension of ACA subsidies to reopen the government.
However, Republicans dismissed the offer, insisting that health care talks should only occur after the government reopens. Schiff emphasized that any agreement to resolve the stalemate would need to include strong legislative guarantees to prevent defaulting on commitments.
I know one thing. I had private insurance before. I had job-provided insurance before. I have ACA now.
The best insurance I ever had was when I worked for a big company and they provided awesome coverage. Nothing beat it.
I can only hope that any company who cares about their employees would do this for them. Healthy employees make your business function better, that’s for sure.
I also know that I wouldn’t trust anything out of Democrat Adam Schiff as he’s proven over the years that he’s nothing but a liar.
