The Trump Administration & Obamacare

January 20 executive order, “Minimizing the Economic Burden of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act Pending Repeal” directs all government agencies and officials with authorities under the ACA to:

• “Take all actions consistent with the law to minimize the unwarranted economic and regulatory burdens of the Act, and prepare to afford the States more flexibility and control to create a more free and open healthcare market”

• “Waive, defer, grant exemptions from, or delay the implementation of” any requirements, including taxes, fees, and regulatory burdens, of the ACA

• Exercise authority and discretion to provide states greater flexibility and control over their health care programs and health insurance markets

• Encourage “free and open markets” and permit the sale and purchase of insurance across state lines

The Trump Administration& Obamacare

• HHS Secretary could:– choose not to fund ACA cost-sharing subsidies– tighten Medicaid rules on presumptive eligibility– grant waivers to states to loosen guidelines for implementing

Medicaid expansion– stop urging insurers to participate in exchanges– limit the individual mandate by granting hardship waivers

• HHS Secretary already has:– proposed relaxing requirements for including essential

community providers in health plans– reduced 2018 open enrollment period 50%– cut advertising for exchanges

Q&A

First 101 Days of the Trump Presidency May 1, 2017

1. Q: What is the cost of all this immigration to California? Do you have any

data on that? A: Please check this reference page: http://www.ppic.org/main/publication_show.asp?i=258

2. Q: Because unauthorized immigrants are a portion of all CA immigrants, when you use the term immigrants in this presentation, are you referring to all immigrants, those that are unauthorized, or is it mixed? It would be helpful to know for statistics presented. A: Answered during the webinar. Please listen to the recording.

3. Q: This seems to focus on all immigrants. Is this data broken into legal and

illegal status? A: Answered during the webinar. Please listen to the recording.

4. Q: I am interested in hearing more about what the Trump administration

has shared about his plans regarding DACA and what we can expect on the federal level. I would also love to hear whether CA has seen any reduction in the number of students who are applying for Dream Act funds due to insecurity around DACA repeal. A: The future of DACA is uncertain, especially with DACA beneficiaries who have either been detained or deported. There was concern that the number of applications to the CA Dream Act would be significantly reduced,

Page 61: California Policy Forum Webinar First 101 Days of the ... · California Policy Forum Webinar First 101 Days of the Trump Presidency: How do we approach the future of Health ... n

2

but due to aggressive outreach, the number this year has actually increased over last. The state is working now to ensure that data collected on students who lack social security numbers will be protected.

5. Q: What are "the exchanges"?

A: The exchange is another term for the ACA health insurance marketplace. Under the Affordable Care Act, each state was charged with setting up an organization aka exchange to facilitate the purchase of individual insurance products and the ACA subsidies. States that would participate in the federal exchange. In California, the exchange is called Covered California

6. Q: Is that medicare or medicaid DSH cuts in 2018? A: In my presentation, I referred to both. Medicaid DSH cuts are scheduled to begin in FY2018. Nationwide cuts are slated for approximately $2 billion. Regulations are not yet available to firmly state California’s share of those cuts. Medicare DSH cuts began in FY2014, new proposed regulations may mean hundreds of millions of dollars in additional cuts to California hospitals in FY2018.

7. Q: Is that 6000 per year in CA or US? A: US Help Links and Contact Information
