If a new HealthCare Bill is not approved quickly, BAILOUTS for Insurance Companies and BAILOUTS for Members of Congress will end very soon!
Does ANYONE believe that “a new HealthCare Bill “ will be “approved quickly” ?
END THEM NOW! They shouldn’t be there anyway. Make Congress live by the same laws they pass!
Call it exemptocrats. They have lifetime congressional coverage for themselves and their families.
Their separate Health Care Plans.
Pence was talking about that.
Probably making Congress use Obamacare. They are currently exempt from having to participate.
They should swallow their own gruel.
it means put them on the same crap we are forced to have and end their exemption. we’ll get a health care bill that will sail along.
Those dirtbags in the Senate can thank their good buddy McShame.
Not sure of what these Bailouts for Congress members are.

I suspect he’s talking about taxpayers subsidizing their health care plans.
Unless they go out on a private exchange, if they get Obamacare in the District, because they make too much for subsidies, “the Obama administration made an exception that allowed them to use the D.C. small-business exchange to receive health-care stipends from their employer (the federal government).
Yes, you read that correctly. The law allows individual congressional offices to be counted as small businesses of 50 or fewer employees.
On the exchanges, members and staff members get an employer (i.e., taxpayer) contribution of 72 percent for their premiums. So this allowed them to receive a similar subsidy as they did under the federal health plan.”
There are some very Senior “States critters” in Congress ready to start on Obamacare...paging Zeke “Death Panel” Emanuel - old folks straight ahead.
DO IT NOW!
DJT HASN’T GOT A HAIR IF HE DOESN’T DO IT ON MONDAY.
Congress buys insurance through the appropriate HR function. The US Army provides several health care plans that DOD employees can participate by buying - Congress is not different. Unions exist to ensure employees (private and govt sectors) keep and gain more benefits.d Part of the reason for having a job is to participate in affordable insurance.
Bravo, Trump! Threaten those useless bastards and follow-up with action unless they actually get some work done.
good point.
this is another congressional theft of tax payer money
On the other hand I don't know why this strategy failed against Paul Ryno. Unfortunately his constituents to seem to be sitting fat and happy. Either they are tuned out, indifferent, or sitting pretty and don't want their special interest boats rocked. But outside of Wisconsin, this game plan might work.
Nobody has to participate. They, like many others, have coverage through thier employer.

Special exemptions and privileges?
Soon the American people will learn what universal, anything-you-want, whenever-you-want-it Health Insurance really costs.
And they will not be pleased.
Thus fueling the downward spiral of the nation into the abyss.
Congress will fund the gap, no matter what Trump says. And they’ll fund it with borrowed money.
And we’ll go from the most advanced system in the world, to the most expensive, corrupt and inefficient.
