President Trump Warns He'll Cut Congress'Health Care If They Dont Take Care Of The American People
IWB ^ | Pamela Williams

Politicians on Capitol Hill are learning what businessmen around this country already know: don’t cross Donald Trump. This is the kind of President the American people have hungered for.

When a group of Republican senators joined Democrats in defeating Trump’s goal to repeal Obamacare, they messed up royally. Now they are dealing with the wrath of President Trump.

You’re talking about a president who doesn’t care about political or mainstream media wars, as long as he gets the job done.

Trump is not playing the typical game of politics, at least not by the same rules as the Republican and Democratic establishments.

What "it" is, is the fact that most people thought or believed that Congress was under the same mandates. Sen. Charles Grassley slipped an amendment into the bill so mandating. Then someone (don't know who - yet) who removed the amendment!

Some sneaky bastards we have "serving" us, isn't it?

Reminds me of the time we found out Congress was committing "insider trading."

A rule was passed disallowing it but at the 11th hour, Eric Cantor slipped in a small item stating that Congress was forbidden from insider trading......but not their family nor their staff!

Fortunately, Cantor was "insider traded "OUT!!!

TIME OUT... NOW, LISTEN UP.

President Trump is NOT canceling ObamaCare. He is considering eliminating the EXEMPTION FROM ObamaCare. That would require the special elite to live by the SAME RULES as the rest of the legal residents of the USA.

Look at the group with the exemptions:

Now, I have a serious case of class envy.

Trump does not have to cut Congress’ health care — all he has to do is to have congress be subjected to Obamacare like most Americans are.
Just let the Congress critters live under the same set of laws that they burden the rest of the country with.

This might play well for Trump and the voters (Democrats and Republicans alike). Congress is liked even less by the voters than Trump. Why not force them to use Obamacare. Especially as it collapses.

“Let’s make it simple. Obama made a myriad of executive orders - all unconstitutional - notifying this piece of legislation. Trump should, with one executive order, undo all of them. No privileged group or individual is exempted from its taxes or mandates.”

What about the 1100+ companies (unions) that got exemptions?

“[Democrats] didn’t expect a President like Trump to turn the tables on them so quickly....I don’t think any other candidate in GOP would have even thought of doing this.”

Nailed it. Go, Trump! GO! :)

Well Donald, Like US Grant said. The best way to eliminate an obnoxious law is through its strict and complete enforcement.

Great - if he has the authority and legal ability to do so. But I don't believe he does.

I posted the following on another related thread:


Technically Congress is ALREADY on Obamacare...HHS rules (Obama) allowed them to use the “D.C. small business exchange” (SHOP) as a “small business employer” therefore allowing them to use their federal med. ins. subsidy to buy insurance for their “employees”...Mr. Trump could instruct his HHS secretary to disallow Congress’s application for the “SHOP” exchange, thereby making Congress buy Obamacare on the regular individual exchange(s). My understanding anyway.
