The Trump Administration gave the Medicare Advantage insurers exactly what they wanted — higher payment rates and ditching a reform in "risk score" calculations that allow insurers to game the system.
The anti-insurer rhetoric is all bluster.

If we're going to talk about the role health insurers play in the cost of health care, we should be talking more about Medicare Advantage than the ACA.
A @BudgetHawks analysis of Trump's "great health care plan" shows it would produce some budgetary savings--or cost a ton of money, depending on unspecified details. https://t.co/JrtvqTiwnL
Federal budget policy is wild because:
1) All the data is easily available on the CBO/OMB sites.
