President Donald Trump on Saturday threatened to end bailouts for members of Congress and insurance companies if lawmakers don't pass a new health care bill in the near future.
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.
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) said Trumps warning is a clear threat to take away health care from members of Congress and their staff.
Murphy then asserted that the president does have the power to cut off health care for leg branch employees & crater exchanges. He then added, I would argue this is a very serious moment.

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.
Wait. They're special....better than 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.
Since most are multi millionaires why all the squealing, they can still get obamacare gold plan, only they will have to PAY FOR IT, NO FREEBIE GOLD PLAN LIKE THEY HAVE NOW!
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!
Great tag Line!
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.
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.
Maybe their globalist friends can fund their plan.
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.
Since most are multi millionaires why all the squealing, they can still get obamacare gold plan, only they will have to PAY FOR IT, NO FREEBIE GOLD PLAN LIKE THEY HAVE NOW!
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.
Buncha DemRat Gollums , ‘my precious, my precious healthcare exemptions. All mine and you can’t have it. Throw that ring in the fire Pres Trump.
Is that suitable attire while visiting the Senate gallery?
