Andy Slavitt, who was acting CMS administrator from 2015 to 2017, accused Trump on TwAndy Slavitt, who was acting CMS administrator from 2015 to 2017, accused Trump on Twitter of "purposely raising" health-care premiums as part of his plan to let ObamaCare "implode."
"I ran this government agency under President Obama," Slavitt wrote. "Make no mistake. Trump is purposely raising people's premiums." Slavitt was reacting to news reports that Oklahoma's health commissioner was blaming the Trump administration for missing a deadline to approve a waiver for the state, which Oklahoma officials say will mean higher premiums for thousands of residents.
"Three days later, beyond health plan commitment and rate filing deadlines, Oklahoma is forced to withdraw our waiver request due to the failure of departments to provide timely waiver approval," Oklahoma Health Commissioner Terry Cline wrote to administration officials earlier Friday.
"The lack of timely waiver approval will prevent thousands of Oklahomans from realizing the benefits of significantly lower insurance premiums in 2018," the letter added, saying approving the waiver would have helped more than 130,000 Oklahomans and reduced premiums by 30 percent.
I just want to continue pointing out that Trump is doing this kind of shit on purpose.
Because you well know that the Republicans are going to try and push through yet ANOTHER version of their "health care" bill, this one I imagine will simply provide trucks that will drive around dispensing band aids for boo boos, and a bullet in the head for serious injuries or inoperable cancer, and when they are criticized they will say "Well he gotta do something, cause Obamacare is failing."
Yeah it's going to start failing, because they are actively starving it to death.
They are like a kid with a new gerbil who never feeds or waters it, and when it dies complains that his grandmother bought him a defective pet
