First, though, Chuck Schumer had a meltdown, and doesn’t want to put Dems one year subsidies to insurance companies extension in writing
From the Mercury County Outlook
Moreno: “Is there a proposal in writing that we can read?”
Schumer: “There is a proposal that is very simple…”
Moreno: “Would it still have no income caps, so people who make a million, two, three million dollars a year—”
Schumer: “We can fix that later. We care about working people, not billionaires. I yield the floor.”
And then he stormed off. And from the tweet
Moreno: “I was going to ask him before he stormed out of the room because evidently he doesn‘t want to hear any opposing views or actually engage in meaningful negotiation … Would he continue 0 dollar premiums, which we know for a FACT, have enormous levels of fraud..”
“If he had stayed, I would have asked him a third question: Does he these monies to go directly to insurance companies?”
Why, exactly are the premiums so darned expensive, and how much go to pad the accounts of the insurance companies?
Trump demands ACA subsidy changes as Senate remains divided over shutdown
President Donald Trump on Saturday urged Senate Republicans to redirect funding for Affordable Care Act subsidies away from health insurers and toward average Americans, his latest gambit to pressure Democrats as a government shutdown snarls air traffic, leaves food stamp benefits in limbo and furloughs roughly 650,000 federal workers. (snip)
Trump’s demand to send funds directly to Americans, which would require an act of Congress, met immediate resistance from some Democrats and would face serious legislative headwinds given lawmakers’ inability to reach consensus on much smaller changes to the health law.
Trump, in several Truth Social posts Saturday, renewed his criticism of the health law, commonly known as Obamacare, when offering his proposal.
“I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies in order to save the bad Healthcare provided by ObamaCare, BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE, and have money left over,” Trump wrote.
Wait, Democrats are against sending the money to Americans, and want to make sure it goes to the insurance companies? Hmm.
So, um, since Barking Moonbat seems too tame these days, how about Barking Humpty’s, because they are so broken they can never be put back together, just like Humpty Dumpty?
