Clickbait title misstates the article's own data.
"And, because the legislation wouldn’t undo certain payment cuts created by the ACA, hospitals would lose an additional $102.9 billion"
Without ObamaCare, with ACA repeal legislation from last year as is: $165 billion "loss"
With ObamaCare as is: $103 billion "loss" anyway
- nostrademons 10y agoIt says "an additional $102.9 billion". That's $103B that they lose regardless of whether or not ObamaCare is repealed, on top of $165B that they'd lose if it's repealed. (The numbers seem highly dubious to me, because they assume nothing will replace the insurance that the ACA currently offers. But if you're using the article's data, represent the article correctly.)
- DrScump 10y agoThe headline is not representing the article correctly. It says, "Plan to repeal ObamaCare will..." in reference to dead legislation from the last Congress. There is no such "plan" from the Trump administration as yet. They are also not stating how much of the "loss" is from the expiration of temporary (24/36 months) Federal subsidies.
