President Trump on Saturday threatened to end health care “bailouts” for insurers and lawmakers in Washington as he continues to push Congress to pass legislation repealing ObamaCare.

“If a new HealthCare Bill is not approved quickly, BAILOUTS for Insurance Companies and BAILOUTS for Members of Congress will end very soon!” Trump tweeted Saturday afternoon.

From what I’ve seen posted by libs on sites like CNN and the NY Times, both liberals and conservatives would applaud this.

O/Care architect, MIT economics prof Jonathan Gruber, argued that perceived rising premium costs are really a one-time increase in 2016 to cover “massively underpriced” policies for the first two years of the 2010 law.

Obama Siphoned off Billions in GSE Dividends To Prop Up OBAMACARE

The Royal Idiot doesn't know much........ but he learned in "the community" that laws don't matter.

The half-caste misfit could care less about US laws: that monies designated for one use cannot be appropriated for another.
