Trump is threatening to go after congressional health insurance and make them subject to their own legislation.
Senator Chuck Schumer warned, “If the president refuses to make the cost-sharing reduction payments, every expert agrees that premiums will go up and health care will be more expensive for millions of Americans. The president ought to stop playing politics with people’s lives and health care, start leading and finally begin acting presidential.
Once this is run through the Schumer Translation Device, or STD, which accurately decodes statements by the New York senator, we get the actual Schumer quote, “If the president refuses to cave like a good Republican, and cuts off the low insurance rates we legislated for ourselves, every member of my staff agrees that premiums will go up for them and I will actually have to pay for my own health care as if I was one of the little people! This is outrageous! I am a senator! I am your god! The president ought to acknowledge our superior status, do as he’s told, and finally begin acting like sniveling Republicans have for decades.”
It’s not that they have no spine. It’s that they’re democrats.
Obamacare for ALL.
Also need to get rid of the exemptions for Unions and whoever else got one.
Remember when Democrats claimed Obamacare was a free market solution? Those were good times. Now Democrats demand subsidies. The "free market" lie was as big as the "you can keep your doctor" lie. I wish Dems would be called out on that more often.
They are all UNIPARTY...Democrats/Republicans=no difference...
yep, but would like to see some work ethic exhibited , obummercare, and if we want to drain the swamp no retirement like the private sector
Didn’t Obamacare put this choice in the hands of the president?
The Contract with America was a document released by the United States Republican Party during the 1994 Congressional election campaign. Written by Newt Gingrich and Dick Armey, and in part using text from former President Ronald Reagan's 1985 State of the Union Address, the Contract detailed the actions the Republicans promised to take if they became the majority party in the United States House of Representatives for the first time in 40 years.On the first day of their majority in the House, the Republicans promised to bring up for vote, eight major reforms:
1. require all laws that apply to the rest of the country also apply to Congress;
Would be karma if Mcstain was required to use the VA hospital in Phoenix for his brain problem. They are notorious for killing vets.
Yo Schumer, premiums are have been going up at a precipitous rate even with those payments.
Search for boneless pork rectums..... favorite of the political class
Really google this one
I'm always amused whenever a highly political politician denounces another politician of "playing politics" .. as if their own "cause" is above politics.
Chuck is such a Schmuck ....
