Democrat Freaks Out After Trump Threatens to Take Away Congress's Obamacare 'Carve-Out'

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 Trump’s 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.”

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.

The distinguished members of Congress need not worry. There is a tremendous health care plan known as Obamacare. The Bronze plan awaits!

. . . a “clear threat” to take away health care from members of Congress and their staff.

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’.

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.

Speaking through tears at a press conference, Sen Schumer warned that 1,000’s of Senators would die every day if the President cut off Congressional subsidies.

“Leading conservative commentator” Charles “Dr. Death” Krauthammer is also opposed to Trump cutting off Congressional health care subsidies.

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.
