How Trump’s effort to gut Obamacare may backfire

(Credit: Reuters/Jonathan Ernst) Trump’s difficulty grasping the arcane intricacies of how government works in this country could lead to actually increasing enrollment in Obamacare, the federal health insurance program that Trump hates so much. Trump famously said in February that health-care law is “an unbelievably complex subject. Nobody knew health care could be so complicated.” The Affordable Care Act is complicated. Covered California, the marketplace for the Affordable Care Act in California, ran some numbers when they were trying to figure out what the impact could be if Trump followed through on his threats to end payments to insurance companies to help them offer health insurance. The analysis was done in January before Trump cut funding to help enrollment and cut the enrollment period in half so its predictions could be off.
