Pushing Obamacare Over the Cliff. How Trump Can Destroy the Law.

The New York Times reports on how Trump can destroy ObamaCare :

Much more seems on the horizon. This month, Tom Price, the secretary of the Health and Human Services Department, tweeted: “There are 1,442 citations in the #ACA where it says. ‘The secretary shall …’ or ‘The secretary may …’ @HHSGov, we’ll look at every single one.”

Through that pathway, the Trump administration can chip away at other parts of Obamacare, notably the expansion of Medicaid.

While Medicaid expansion can’t collapse the way that the exchanges could, Mr. Price could diminish it by taking steps like allowing states to impose a work requirement on enrollees or to limit lifetime benefits. He could also water down the 10 essential benefits required for all policies by the law, like maternity care and mental health coverage.

Even if my worries are misplaced, remember that Obamacare worked, in part, because it had the active support of the entire executive branch.

An op-ed, well worth your time...
