Despite former Vice President Joe Biden’s claim during Thursday’s Democrat presidential debate, Obamacare remains expensive for many hard-working middle class Americans. 

Former Vice President Joe Biden claimed Saturday that his public option healthcare plan will “make health care more affordable” and expand health insurance coverage for millions of Americans that do not have coverage under Obamacare.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and other Senate Democrats will attempt to force a vote in September that would nullify President Donald Trump’s expansion of short-term health insurance plans, which serve as a less expensive alternative to Affordable Care Act (ACA) plans.

A Heritage Foundation study released Wednesday found that the first drop in Obamacare premiums was driven by the Donald Trump administration’s approval of health insurance waivers that gave states the option of regulatory relief from Affordable Care Act (ACA) mandates and regulations.

Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Seema Verma said Monday that Americans continue to flee the Obamacare exchanges because the “sky-high premiums” are too “unaffordable.”

A study released Wednesday found that a government health insurance option, a proposal backed by former Vice President Joe Biden, could close as many as 55 percent of rural hospitals.

American approval of a public option implodes if it leads to more government in health care, according to a poll released Tuesday.

Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Seema Verma said Monday that former Vice President Joe Biden’s public option plan serves as a “trojan horse” with single-payer health care “hiding inside.”

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)  found through its latest report on Wednesday that roughly 300,000 fewer Americans signed up for Obamacare compared to last year.

“I won’t say today that I just nominated Neomi to be on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals,” Trump said to the press. “That could be a big story.”

The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services said they will freeze their Obamacare insurance bailout payments, pending court litigiation.

Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) abandoned his Obamacare bailout package, citing lack of Democrat support for the measure.

The Donald Trump administration approved New Hampshire’s waiver, becoming the fourth state to implement work requirements for Medicaid.

The Donald Trump administration said on Thursday that they will allow states to implement work requirements in exchange for Medicaid.

President Donald Trump’s administration reportedly will unveil new rules requiring work for Medicaid, according to the Hill.

Analysts continue to speculate over who will replace Tom Price to run the Health and Human Services (HHS) department.

San Juan – Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rossello made headlines in the territory when he defended the island’s request for more Medicaid funding after President Donald Trump blasted the proposal as a “bailout.” But behind the scenes, the governor is working closely with the Trump administration to win more fiscal support.

“There is much work to be done to ensure we have a healthcare system that works for patients, families, and doctors; that leads the world in the cure and prevention of illness; and that is based on sensible rules to protect the well-being of the country while embracing its innovative spirit,” Tom Price says.
