Senior White House adviser Kellyanne Conway on Sunday said President Donald Trump will decide in the next week whether or not to end crucial Obamacare subsidies.
“He’s going to make that decision this week, and that’s a decision that only he can make,” Conway said on “Fox News Sunday.”
Trump on Saturday threatened in a tweet to end “BAILOUTS for Insurance Companies and BAILOUTS for Members of Congress,” apparently referring to cost sharing reduction payments — Obamacare subsidies which affect low-income individuals — and the employer contribution for lawmakers’ health insurance.
Senate Republicans’ latest proposal to repeal Obamacare failed in a dramatic vote early Friday morning.
She is an Ann Coulter wannabe, the worst of the worst values of Ann.
Can he just end the subsidies by himself?
So he decides to stop making payments, is sued and forced to follow the law. Got it.
If he does it, the only people who can restore them are the House Republicans.
The same House Republicans who refused to fund them under the ACA.
The same House Republicans who sued the Obama Administration when he overrode their refusal to fund them.
The same House Republicans who won that case at the District Court but agreed to a stay of the judgment so they would have time to figure out a legislative solution.
So it’s now coming down to a game of chicken, with 1/6 of our economy at stake if neither side blinks.
Of all the countries Trump could mindlessly threaten to destroy, he had to pick this one.
