Republican Senator John McCain just singlehandedly killed the repeal of Obamacare. Now it’s time for President Trump to act. It’s time for President Trump to expose McCain and the rest of Congress for the frauds and hypocrites they are. It’s time for two Executive Orders that have the power to change everything.
This is how President Trump makes "The House of Cards" collapse. This is how President Trump ends Obamacare once and for all.
Executive Order #1: President Trump should issue an immediate Executive Order forcing every member of Congress to use the same healthcare plan as the rest of us. Let Senator McCain come off his high horse and live under the rules of Obamacare. Make every member of Congress live by same rules as the rest of us.
I wonder if John McCain would have voted against the Obamacare repeal, if he had to live under the rules of Obamacare? I wonder how quick and successful his brain cancer surgery would have been, if he had to use the Obamacare plan. Or the VA system.
Would he have waited 6 months in line, like rest of us? Maybe a year. Of course, he’d probably be dead by then. That’s how the VA solved their money shortage a few years back. They put vets on waiting lists until they died. Problem solved. Why not make Senators wait on those same waiting lists?
Or would McCain have had a gigantic deductible (just like the rest of us)? Would he have had a $30,000 bill after surgery that insurance would not cover (just like the rest of us)?
Would McCain have even been allowed to have a surgery, or would a "Death Panel" advise no surgery for a 80 year old with advanced brain cancer? Let's find out.
President Trump should immediately use Executive Order to put every member of Congress in the exact same boat as rest of us. Let them pay for their own healthcare- just like the rest of us. Let’s see each member of Congress pay $2000 per month for health insurance that covers virtually nothing. That was what I was forced to pay after Obamacare passed. That’s what my insurance covered- nothing.
I don’t even have health insurance anymore. I was forced to switch to a Christian Health Sharing plan. Because $2000 per month was completely unaffordable. I’m betting Democrats would call me “rich.” And I could not pay the bill anymore, because of Obamacare. So, I left traditional insurance as of January 1st.
My predicament means no middle-class family in America that buys their own insurance can afford the bill. It’s no wonder an upscale couple jumped to their death in Manhattan on Friday. The 53-yr old husband was a chiropractor. They left behind two children. Their suicide note said they were in a financial death spiral. Thanks to Obamacare, so is every middle-class couple in America.
It’s time for Congress to feel our pain.
Executive Order #2. My gut instinct is usually on the money. I feel it in my bones. The Senators who voted against the repeal are corrupted, bribed, on the take. Senators and Congressmen are making an unimaginable fortune off of Obamacare. That’s why they are against the repeal. They don’t want to end the gravy train.
They want the system complex and expensive. They want government involved. They want taxpayer money wasted by the billions. That's how they milk the system. They all own stocks of medical companies, health insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies. I'm betting many actually own companies with government contracts that benefit from Obamacare. They put them in the names of their spouses, children, parents, siblings, childhood buddies. They own them in offshore accounts. The conflicts of interest are the size of Texas.
Obamacare is the best thing to ever happen to Senator Schumer, Senator McCain, Senator Collins, Senator Murkowski, Nevada Senator Heller. They’re all bums. They’re all thieves. They are all getting rich at our expense.
Wanna bet?
President Trump should issue an immediate Executive Order demanding disclosure of all financial interests and ownership in healthcare related companies or stock by every member of Congress- including all family members and offshore accounts. Failure to disclose will result in a long prison term.
Then we’ll find out why they voted against repeal. They are all on the gravy train.
Issue these two Presidential Executive Orders and the “House of Cards” will collapse. The scam will be revealed.
We’ve been robbed.
P.S. Throw in a third plank. Term Limits. Limit each member of Congress to two terms. One term in office and one term in prison.
Laws are supposed to originate in the house, except AHCA started in senate i think- it was all wrong from the very beginning. It was discussed during Supreme Ct ruling why not bring up that fact..... i am a little fuzzy on my memory.
How about adding all members of congress shall open their tax records and show how they made millions on their annual income. open up their family tax records as well. Also, since they bitch about the price of apartments and houses in the DC area, build military style housing for them. If its good enough for those who risks their lives, its good enough for these blood suckers.
Ping...
This is John McCain's brain cancer on Obamacare.
Just take a pain pill.
Thanks to Capitol City’s notion of “wealth re-distribution” now we revisit the definition of “rebel”.
“I don’t even have health insurance anymore. I was forced to switch to a Christian Health Sharing plan. Because $2000 per month was completely unaffordable. I’m betting Democrats would call me “rich.” And I could not pay the bill anymore, because of Obamacare. So, I left traditional insurance as of January 1st.”
“My predicament means no middle-class family in America that buys their own insurance can afford the bill. It’s no wonder an upscale couple jumped to their death in Manhattan on Friday.”
“Let Obamacare fail’ President Trump
Not mentioned because it probably goes without saying, he should also sign another EO ordering the IRS to not enforce the act’s mandate: the penalty.
Why should those of us like Root who cannot afford health insurance, but aren’t `poor’ and subsidised—or exempt like the protected classes, particularly the `rat pols who passed this garbage or the GOP-e phonies who bellowed for seven years they would repeal it asap—why should we be taxed to subsidise these bums?
Our ancestors rebelled over a small tax on a beverage and postage stamps.
Good article probably accurate but it will never happen. They will always weasel out of it.
Unless Trump goes to war with them and exposes them to the sheeple bigly nothing will happen.
They have given medicine license to steal and they get the benefits.
I would love that although Executive Orders only apply to the Executive Branch. It does not apply Legislative Branch or the Judicial Branch.
Not entirely true. Laws can start in either House, but appropriation laws must start in the House — that is unless you are Democrats under Obama.
I sent the link to all my contacts, and signed it myself.
Here’s a fourth and fifth plank.
Repeal the 17th Amendment.
Double the size of the House. Get reps down to about 360,000 constituents each.
Today’s farm team for senators is the House. Repeal the 17A and once again state legislatures will be the primary source for senators. Today’s reps just take their populist mindsets with them to the senate.
Neither of those proposals are within the scope of what a President can do by Executive Order. For an Executive Order to be legally enforceable, it either has to be an exercise of one of the President’s enumerated powers, or there has to be an Act of Congress that permits it. (The latter is the reason that FDR’s EO for gold confiscation was held to be Constitutional.)
I would add:
a) Order the IRS to stop collecting taxes (read: fines) for non compliance, and refund all assessments made, retroactive to the date obamacare was first made into law.
b) Cancel all...ALL...waivers. No exceptions.
c) investigate healthcare providers, and “big pharmacy” for price gouging.
d) Legalize interstate insurance sales.
e) Stop pre-existing condition refusal.
That was when dingy Harry Reid was majority leader, correct? Did the rats own both houses then?
Fantastic. Thanks. I am trying to put it on as many Ocare threads as I can.
all exemptions granted by Obama should be withdrawn. Spreading the suffering builds up pressure for change.
Thank you. That is good to know as I go onto both in 2 months.
This what I have been thinking as well that President Trump will have to do a couple of EO’S in order to get rid of the ACA. Put that law out of its misery.
Are you sure about that?
