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.

DO IT, President Trump!! It is ONLY FAIR that they live under what they pass for all of us!! DO IT....it’s NOT fair if you don’t!!!
A squeal is heard from a snout deeply inserted in the public trough.
Who said he is taking it away?
They just have to pay for it - like their constituents do
Since Obama paid for Congressional health care out of executive funds then yes Trump can cut it off.
He needs to do it yesterday.
Amen! They DESPISE him anyway.
So what's the problem? Can't they use the website Healthcare.gov to pick a great plan like the rest of us? < / sarcasm >
Agree. If they like their doctor, they can keep their doctor. President Trump is merely giving the congress vermin the opportunity to enjoy homobamacare, just like everyone else. That or pay the "tax".
The President is taking away nothing congress has been given.
He is only “re-gifting”
DO IT, Mr. President. No more ‘feed us, feed us’.
Do It already!!!
They won’t be able to keep their doctor? They won’t be able to keep their plan? Isn’t there a Hussein lifeline? Maybe they can get some assistance from their ‘master’ legislator.
Ahhhh, poor little piggies
“Leading conservative commentator” Charles “Dr. Death” Krauthammer is also opposed to Trump cutting off Congressional health care subsidies.
So let it be written, so let it be done.
Really wish the Pres. had ALSO reminded everyone of Congress’ exemption...deeming themselves as if they employed 50 or less.
Start by taking away their “staffs”. That would end an awful lot of unnecessary crap right there.
LOL - The more they react the more Trump achieves his real objective - to make then proclaim their hypocrisy on national TV on this issue.
