We are about to lose 1/4 of the Affordable Care Act. Trump repealed EO 14009, in which Biden instructed the IRS to fix the 'family glitch'. That fix allowed 5 million people to purchase marketplace health plans, mostly married mothers of young children— including me. 1/

Before Biden's EO, if a spouse's employer offered family coverage you were ineligible for a marketplace plan. My husband's employer offered family coverage for over 70% of his salary, but because his individual coverage was affordable, that made me ineligible for the ACA. 2/
The instructions are clear: Newly appointed Kevin Hassett and Vince Haley are to take all necessary steps to rescind Federal Government actions brought about by the listed executive orders. Administrative Procedure Act? It's over. 3/x
The gov received 3,888 public comments on the rules change, overwhelmingly in support— " One married couple even testified to a state legislature that they divorced solely to retain the husband's eligibility after his wife got a new job with an offer of family coverage at a

Absolutely maddening from a media negligently refusing to read their own sources! The order resulted in 5 million more people with health coverage by last year. 10 million new people had signed up by this year. Why did they not read the Executive Order?

Trump admin ordered a full pause on external communication from federal health agencies: CDC, FDA, NIH. They are banned from sharing any outbreak updates, advisories, food recalls— nothing without political approval, not even to local health departments. This is NOT normal.🚨 1/

We're debating the nazi salute instead of talking about the real harms this does. I tried to find anyone else talking about it, the only mention is from but even they don't ever press "1 in 4 of you are about to lose your health coverage". smdh Come on !
EO "instructed" the IRS to fix the family glitch (I have no idea what it is). So how can an another EO order the IRS to unfix this glitch ? Trump already tried to repeal Omabacare and failed.
Laws don't function as intended, they function as written— The ACA didn't specify in 2014 whether "coverage affordability" was determined by the cost to the employee or cost to employee+dependents. Biden asked the IRS to issue and finalize a rule clarifying affordability through

And your elected congressional representatives will have to own up to that, and have an obligation to listen to you. You are the check on that. There are none for this.
If you live in Florida you didn’t get it anyway because of the Disaster gov Adults under 65 who aren't disabled or caring for minor children are not eligible for Medicaid regardless of how low their income is, because Florida hasn't expanded Medicaid under the ACA.
In 2024, Florida had 4,211,902 people enrolled in their ACA Marketplace plan. Up from 2,723,000 people in 2023. This will likely kick about 1.5 million off in Florida. Florida not expanding medicaid left a coverage gap for people between 100-138% of the poverty leve, but those

I guess he wants child mortality rates to go up but only if they have single parents. Mama should be in the kitchen while her hubby works. 50’s mentality. So wrong.
This almost exclusively effects married parents staying home with young children. If you're employed you get insurance from work or the ACA, if you're below the poverty line you get Medicaid. This was *the only* part of our system that helped moms stay home with kids, which is

This doesn’t necessarily unfix the family glitch. Hopefully it won’t. You can be against the ACA, and at the same time think it should be fair until there’s something better.
This explicitly and intentionally is to unfix the family glitch. Trump's EO calls for "rescinding all Federal Government actions taken pursuant to" E.O. 14009 and everything else he listed. The Federal Government action taken pursuant to EO 14009 was fixing the Family Glitch, as

Daddy's company won't pay for Mommy to see the doctor. Biden told the government to let all the Mommies purchase health insurance from them, so they can see the doctor. Trump took it away. Mommy died.
Oh fuck. This very well could affect me as well. Technically my husband is self employed, but he’s working with an employment broker who in short takes out the taxes as if he’s w-2, and also provides health insurance. I have treatments every 3 wks that run 15k per visit. I
The US needs a complete overhaul of the Healthcare system. Our Australian model is pretty good, but not perfect of course. No such thing as medical bankruptcy here.
The ACA is the Australian model ffs. Highest costs, and no healthcare system. Taking away the middle-class affordable option is a bad idea.
Are you ineligible to purchase on the marketplace or ineligible for premium assistance on the marketplace?
This is propaganda we’re told and empirically not true. Health care costs exploded in the 1980s to early 2000’s. They’re just capitalizing on the fact that people don’t look at rate of change over time.
Legal residents and green card holders can usually access the subsidized marketplace plans or get Medicaid after ~5 years. Otherwise they need to purchase it privately or through their employer.
Glad I didn't sign up just to have care jerked away. The Republicans have been against Americans having access to doctors and nurses for so long I learned to live without medical care.

So, how much do you pay per month through the ACA and what is your families combined income? What do you project it to be? And how are you obtaining it (through husband’s job etc)?
MAGA is too stupid to see this all and understand it. They will never know how they are getting screwed by Trump yet will blame ‘Democrats’
he’s just signing whatever his project 2025 handlers are putting on the desk in front of him without looking or caring
Trouble is, it wasn’t a “glitch,” but an intentional element of the law designed to produce a lower CBO score than otherwise. It has to be changed by law, not by Presidential Decree.

⚖️ Ignorance, Empathy, & Prosecutorial Overreach in Medicare Fraud Good intentions aren’t always enough. Confusing Medicare rules can trap kindhearted doctors, leading to life-altering consequences. Why do doctors risk it, and can the system be improved?
Congress should step in and clarify what they think should be occurring. It's not like Dems haven't had trifectas since ACA passed in 2009.
So, while MAGAs did not acknowledge Biden’s successes, they will learn about them through realizing what they loose by Trump destroying these in pure spitefulness.
Dude said Florida won't care because they 'didn't expand medicaid'. Florida was second only to Texas in new enrollments with this change, adding 1.5 million people. 4.2 million people, 36% of adult Florida residents 20-64, are enrolled in an ACA marketplace plan!

Did we lose the single risk pool, too? That's the linchpin.

How many of those 5 million voted for Trump? A good chunk is my guess. This administration is not about the people. It is about power and greed.
