Bloomberg : reported that Trump Speech Leaves Health Care a Big Mess

Untroubled By Trump's Speech ACA Repeal AlligatorsTrump didn't do much to resolve this stalemate with his address. That's a threat to health insurers who focus narrowly on government programs. That sounds conspicuously unlike the GOP plan which repeals the ACA's Medicaid expansion, leaving out large numbers of people. Trump expressed support for tax credits, but still appears to differ with House leadership on other key points. The draft GOP plan increases such subsidies based on age, rather than the ACA's income-based scale.

California May Break with Trump, Create State-Level Single-Payer Health Care

SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTERAccording to the Los Angeles Times, single-payer health care has long been a goal of progressives in California.

SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTERAs President Trump talks of revealing a replacement for Obamacare in March, the state of California is talking about going its own way and instituting a single-payer health care system for state residents.

But the single-payer system would cost California taxpayers an estimated $40 billion during the first year alone, and no one has been able to explain how that money would be raised.
