That is the talking Yam's narrative but it is not fact based. Spend even 30 seconds reviewing what happened and you will realize once again you have been lied to by the human tanning bed. Remember he was going to repeal and replace it on day one, he said he would make a deal because that was his talent. Where is the beautiful deal? or is being conned and lied to enough for you?

The Legal Background
In fact, the ACA requires the federal government to reimburse insurers for these reductions. This is not a bailout. It is rather a statutory obligation of the federal government to pay insurers for services they have provided as required by law. In 2014, the House of Representatives sued the Obama administration in House v. Burwell (now House v. Price) claiming that the cost-sharing reduction (CSR) payments to insurers had never been appropriated by Congress and were thus illegal. A district court judge accepted this argument in the spring of 2016 and enjoined their payment, as President Trump?s statement says, but stayed her order pending appeal. The Obama administration appealed, arguing that there was in fact an appropriation. Until yesterday, the Trump administration had not taken a position on whether there was an appropriation or not.
The appeal is still pending, with the House and the Trump administration having agreed to stay the appeal several times. At the end of August, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals allowed 19 state attorneys general to intervene to protect their citizens. For more on the CSR backstory see here and here; for more on the intervention, see here; and for Health Affairs Blog posts on cost-sharing reduction payments, see here.
Change the law if you don't agree or like it but to unilaterally end this is going to cause real harm to real people and most of those real people vote. Also most of them are within Trump's base so it is going to be interesting to watch.
