Indeed! Trump should say that if he cuts off Congressional subsidies for health insurance, Congress can go on Obamacare, keep their doctor and save $2,500 per year!

Then let Congress squeal as Trump laughs.

After months of the strategery posted by all of us here on FR, I'm glad they listen to us!

Just like any employee you need to coach, develop, review, who just refuses to perform, you hit them where it hurts the most. Right in their pocketbook or wallet.

Then to the curb.

Krauthammer is an inside the beltway puke who still doesn’t comprehend that we American taxpayers are no longer playing by the old rules.

In other words, he admits that if they are forced to live under Obamacare, they’ve had actual health care taken away from them.

Yes, you idiot. We no longer have actual health care. Just incredibly expensive totally worthless insurance. That’s what we’ve been saying for 7 frickin years!

Neighbors are covered by 2 insurances....and effectively can’t afford a major health issue.

I think most people fit in this category now. So-called ‘insurance’ acts as a vig.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) said Trump’s warning is a “clear threat” to take away health care from members of Congress and their staff.

It's only a threat when their "health care" is in danger. FUAD. Take it away President.

Removing the illegal 70% Obamacare subsidy is a $5,000-$10,000+ pay cut for Congressional staff. Outstanding.

I recall being flabbergasted when I first heard that Congress had exempted themselves from the very corrupt (designed to fail into single payer from the start) law they had imposed on the people they ‘serve’,

Evil NWO globalist anti-Christ Spirit rising up for the last days,

This is why they hate President Trump so much, he is pushing back against this demonic agenda,

But, their rules say that we stupid, low-life taxpayers are supposed to pay for their perks.

Maybe they can sell some more Uranium to Russia to help fund their plan.

They are squealing because it hits their staff too. No doubt some of their staffers are getting 10k in subsidies for a cadillac obamacare plans. Removing the subsidy will cause real pain to some beltway lifers.

Maybe they can persuade the Iranians to return that planeload of $100 dollar bills to fund their plan.
