Shut out by Obamacare, millions will get relief
Obamacare
has failed to provide affordable, flexible healthcare options
for millions of Americans. According to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, almost 28 million Americans are without
insurance coverage today.
Americans
are increasingly being priced out of Affordable Care Act
plans. From 2013 to 2017, insurance premiums more than doubled,
shutting out tons of middle-class Americans who don’t get
subsidies.
In
many communities, options are nonexistent. More than 52
percent of U.S. counties have just one ACA insurer, forcing
residents to choose between pricey insurance or nothing at all.
Today,
President Trump and his Administration are improving
healthcare options for all Americans by issuing a final rule on
short-term, limited-duration health plans. The new rule allows for
the sale and renewal of plans that cover longer periods than the
previous maximum of fewer than three months. This rule will
increase choices for Americans facing escalating premiums,
creating flexible options that are not currently available in the
individual market.

Trump’s blueprint to lower drug prices.
Worker pay hits highest level in a decade
During
the nearly 8 years of “recovery” that followed the Great
Recession under the previous Administration, one key piece of the
economic puzzle was missing: significant wage gains for workers.
According to new data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, that’s
changed under President Trump.
Wages
and salaries rose 0.5 percent last quarter and 2.8 percent
during the 12-month period ending in June, CNBC reports. The
employment cost index, which measures compensation to workers, hit
its highest level since amid the financial crisis in 2008.
While
left-leaning economists claimed that slow
growth was inevitable, President Trump said the right
policies—tax reform, stronger trade deals, and investment in our
workforce—could turn our country around. Last night in Florida,
the President announced more progress: 49 additional businesses
have signed his Pledge
to America’s Workers, building on a day that included
signing the Perkins Career and Technical Education Act into law.

the President is standing up for American workers
