President Trump on Saturday threatened to end key payments to insurance companies made under Obamacare if a repeal and replace bill is not passed.
"After seven years of 'talking' Repeal & Replace, the people of our great country are still being forced to live with imploding ObamaCare!" the president wrote in a tweet.
"If a new HealthCare Bill is not approved quickly, BAILOUTS for Insurance Companies and BAILOUTS for Members of Congress will end very soon!" he added.
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) fired back Saturday, saying Trump should "stop playing politics with people's lives and health care, start leading, and finally begin acting presidential."

Do it baby!
Comprehensive
Stick
It To
Juan
End the bailouts now
Do it now.
Did Schumer squeeze out some major crocodile tears as he instructed President Trump on how to act?
Schumer should start acting like a “reach across the isle” democrat. F/U chuck. Mr.Trump got one hell of a lot more votes than ever did/or will. you/pelousy shoved this down our throat so you could give freebies to the only humans that will vote for you. go to hell ....please.
This is Trump’s wheelhouse
Donald, go nuclear on the Establishment.
forgot to mention....do it tomorrow AM Mr. Trump!!
The CEO of Aetna makes $31.5 million annually. The CEO of United Healthcare makes over $20 million. It’s time Joe Sixpack stops getting robbed by the government so that the fat insurance companies can overpay their big wigs like this.It’s time to end all government subsidies to insurance companies and renewable energy companies, as has happened to agriculture subsidies. (The USDA is now a welfare office handing out SNAP and EBT cards to 48 million citizens and non-citizens.)
No need to make it a threat or contingency of any kind. This should be done ANYWAY, and...
...(if it is carefully explained) it will be extremely popular with American citizens who pay taxes and health insurance bills and don't like to see congress peeps enjoy an exclusive privilege at their expense.
No Schumer. No. Forever no.
Cancel the bailouts first thing Monday morning! Cancel any health insurance plans congress gets. BOOM! Blow it up.
Why on earth would he want to do that? Trump ends the insurance subsidies, premiums skyrocket, Schumer uses it for the 2018 elections.
Lets have this little battle— bring it. Stinks to high heavens Mr Schmucky that there has to be a special, protected, unfair advantage for your ObamaCare to succeed? In case you haven’t noticed Schmucky the albatross you so protect is an utter failure anyway. There’s not enough middle fingers to express our feelings of anger and disgust to these cretins in DC.
Go for it President Trump. We The People will declare it a day to party down.
He needs to put Congress on Obamacare right before they leave on recess, then they need to all go home and get an earful from their constituents. See if they have an attitude adjustment. I’m sick of them all.
Terminate McCain’s insurance first.
If I’m remembering it correctly, there was a judicial ruling that the subject payments were illegal. Trump could just accept that decision, don’t appeal it further and IMMEDIATELY CEASE THE PAYMENTS. President Trump should also announce that he will no longer accept the Congessional FALSE CERTIFICATION that Congress is a “small” business (I.e., has fewer than 50 employees). That way the Congress swamp critters and their staffers will have to live with REAL OBAMACARE like ordinary American citizens do (I.e., receive no subsidies beyond what Obamacare low-income subsidies provide).
