WaTimes: President Trump is threatening to cut off critical Obamacare payments to insurers unless Democrats come to the table to negotiate a new health care bill, taking a tough negotiating stance that could force Democratic leaders into a government shutdown by month’s end.
At stake are “cost sharing” payments that Obamacare backers say are supposed to be made to insurance companies to cover their losses from low-income customers.
A federal court has invalidated the payments, saying the Obama administration spent the money even though Congress specifically stripped the funds from its annual spending bills. read more
go get em DT. high time common sense hit Washington
Let’s see now the courts have determined those payments to be unconstitutional so does this tactic mean that they are now back in play in a Trump Admin?
I hope “negotiate” means repeal.
But I doubt it.
Finally! A president with some balls and common sense.
The R’s won’t play ball. Maybe the D’s will?
You mean money that is missing from HUD, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac?
I am so sick and tired of both the Ds and the Cs. As far as I’m concerned they can both F off.
Fuckin Bullshit.
The socialists saddled us with this abomination, and President Trump wants them to assist in “negotiating” its replacement?
Fuckin Bullshit.
Repeal this abomination!
Repeal ObolaCare and start over – with the signposts of “Liberty” and “Freedom” to guide. Anything else is just a different saddle on the same old tired mule.
izlamo delenda est …
Oh, and President Trump – ya wanna hint?
Quit fuckin lying about it!
Repeal – NOT replace.
NO American ever asked for replacement!
izlamo delenda est …
Pay the insurance companies with money from (D)irtbag aligned govt.employees pensions, if this was a truly just world.
