“Trump threatened to remove Congress’ exemption from Obamacare if they couldn’t come up with a repeal. We haven’t heard that threat lately. Do you believe it’s still a possibility or will Trump just let them skate, if they fail to repeal?”

I liked the sound of it when he made that threat, but I don’t recall knowing how he could even carry it out. Was it something he could do by executive order or just another bill that wouldn’t get passed?

I just took it as something Trump thought “should” happen.

I’ll say one thing - if it was a bill that had to be passed in congress - it would reveal true colors of congressmen and senators. I’d put money on Rand Paul being perhaps the ONLY senator principled enough to vote to remove the exemption.

Bol! Ah yes, he’s so often spoken out against his platinum healthcare plan, subsidized by the taxpayers. He’s so often noted the unfairness of the way the Senate treats themselves vs how they treat the schmoes. (He hasn’t.)

Trump was of the opinion that he could remove the Congressional exemption via executive order. I’m not holding my breath.
