President Donald Trump made one of his most explicit threats to cut off payments to insurance companies to force senators and lobbyists back to the bargaining table for a GOP health-care bill, and saying, for the first time, that he was also willing to cancel some of lawmakers health-care benefits.
If a new HealthCare Bill is not approved quickly, BAILOUTS for Insurance Companies and BAILOUTS for Members of Congress will end very soon! Mr. Trump tweeted Saturday.
For months, Mr. Trump has threatened to stop reimbursements to insurance companiesa part of the ACAbut his administration has always paid them in the end, including amid significant uncertainty in June and at a crucial moment in GOP negotiations just a week ago in July.

“Senator McCain use a VA hospital.”
Not a chance! His “Beer Heiress Wife” will buy him the best available health care, but at the end of the day, extreme luck, not money will save his life.”
I love this guy!!!!
Put em on Obamacare!
Put em on Obamacare!
Good idea.
YES!
Oh my gosh.. Just when I think I can’t love President Trump anymore than I already do.. I’m proven wrong! He is pure GENIUS!
Sorry...beyond his powers. But he’s laying the issues on the table for the people to see.
And cancel all the other employer exemptions as well
YES! The Congressional lying basturds think Zero-Care is good enough for us.....let them enjoy the 3 month lines to see a cancer doctor when they have a fast-growing lesion, TOO!
What’s “good” for the goose (us Americans,Congress is goosing, f*cking us).... is plently good enough for the ganders (them!)
Good!
xlnt
[Sorry...beyond his powers.]
Could be Administrative Executive Orders made by OBAMA to appease Congressional members and insurance companies. If so, its’ full steam ahead!
... and The Donald dumps ‘em into the exchange. The bastards deserve nothing less. Can he issue an EO forcing them to use nothing but so they can get the full benefit of their own benevolence?
Both of these subsidies are illegal.
The insurance subsidies are payments that Congress did not authorize.
The small business exemption for Congress is intended, by law, only for businesses with fewer than 50 employees- Congress has thousands.
Not sure about that. There is much in the ACA that is up to discretion of the administration. Obama was doing all kinds of stuff to shield his favored groups from all kinds of provisions of that law.
Mr. President, Donald J. Trump...you get on the phone and order that low life scum & vermin, Mitch McConnell & Paul Ryan to order their Caucuses back to work...then inform them there will be no vacation recess for the rest of the year until the Nations and people business is taken care of in a satisfactory way!!! Then put all of these Congress critters S.O.Bs on Obamacare just like the rest of the American peons!!! Do it!!! If I were POTUS, these low lifes would be working every weekend and every holiday until they became productive. And get that McConnell buffoon to pass a fifty-one vote rule...period, immediately.
Just Do It!
