This week, Donald Trump's administration continued to try and undermine the Affordable Care Act by terminating cost-sharing payments to insurers.

This video is adapted from a column by Nick Bagley at the Incidental Economist: https://theincidentaleconomist.com/wordpress/cutting-off-the-cost-sharing-payments/ Nick Bagley and Craig Garthwaite's NY Times Op-ed: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/29/opinion/trump-care-mcconnell-obamacare.html Aaron has a book coming out November 7.
