Instant Insights The latest ACA moves
The Trump administration has taken a lot of swipes at the Affordable Care Act this year. Here\'s a look at what\'s changed.
Compared to the myriad other attacks, the AHP strategy offers more long-term promise for undermining Obamacare, but not all states intend to play along.
The removals are consistent with other actions the administration has taken to reduce information about ACA health plans.
CMS has announced that it will suspend the ACA's risk-adjustment payments, worth about $10.4 billion for 2017.
The Trump administration is preparing a regulation that would allow the resumption of billions of dollars in payments to health insurers in Obamacare.
Nine of the 11 states with the highest rates of preexisting conditions among adults under 65 have signed onto the lawsuit to strike down the ACA.
CMS is cutting money to ACA navigators from $36 million to $10 million for the upcoming 45-day enrollment period.
The budget proposal lays out a platform for the Republicans to run on in November as they face off against optimistic Democrats.
The legal motion is mostly symbolic and any substantive action in the lawsuit will likely take months.
Democrats are putting the Affordable Care Act at the center of their campaigns and using personal experiences to illustrate how a repeal would have hurt them.
