Mike Pence: Trump Could Rescind Congressional Exemption From ObamaCare
Common Sense Evaluation ^

Posted on 07/29/2017 5:09:55 AM PDT by gaggs

Video included.

In an interview with Tucker Carlson of Fox News that was aired on Wednesday, Vice President Mike Pence was asked to reflect on President Trump perspective on the so-far failed efforts on the part of the Senate to produce a suitable health care reform bill.

When Carlson asked Pence, “Why should Members of Congress and their staffs have a better deal, not subject to the same rules as everybody else is?,” the Vice President answered:

“That’s pretty typical of Washington, isn’t it? You, more often than not, see one set of rules for the American people and another set of rules for the political class here in our nation’s capital. but as we move forward, the point is that whether the president makes a decision, it would be his decision whether to rescind that special treatment for members of Congress and their staffs.”

No special deals for swamp critters.

The GOP is hated beyond belief.
Liars to the core.

“At the foundation of our civil liberties lies
the principle that denies to government officials
an exceptional position before the law and which
subjects them to the same rules of conduct
that are commands to the citizen.”
Justice Louis D. Brandeis

I have been posting this since Obamacare became LAW!!!

I disagree, we can SAVE Obamacare, we just need to Fully Implement it and give the Uniparty exactly what they are asking for.

I believe President Trump should Call their Bluff and Force the Issue.

When and ONLY WHEN Government Lives under the Same Laws as us will anything substantial happen

OBAMACARE Can be Saved!!

There are about 22 MILLION Public Employee’s Nationwide that are Ineligible for Subsidies, this infusion of New Paying Customers will SAVE OBAMACARE. the SEIU and every other Public Employee UNION fully Endorse Obamacare and have held numerous rallies in support thereof.

Let’s Give them what they want!

I believe our Public Employees deserve the Best Health Care America has to offer, and that is the Official Government Health Care Plan, Obamacare. So why don’t you quit pussyfooting around and Proudly Proclaim your desire to see that ALL Federal Employees receive the Finest, Most Affordable Health Care the US has to offer, OBAMACARE.

All the Money currently wasted on these inferior high priced cadillac plans can be diverted to the Wall.

There is ONLY ONE WAY to make it happen:

Executive Orders or Legislation, the chance of CONgress doing it are the same as OJ Confessing, so I am choosing Executive Orders.

1. All waivers to the Affordable Care act are hereby repealed.

2. There shall be NO funds drawn from the treasury to pay for Health Insurance for ANY Federal Employee except Members of the Armed Services.

3. ALL Federal Employees except members of the US Armed Services, SHALL purchase their own personal and Family Health Insurance from the Affordable Care Exchange in the state they legally reside.

4. There shall be NO Medicaid Reimbursement funds allocated to any State that does not have 100% of their Public Employees enrolled in the Affordable Care Act.

And to make sure it is Bipartisan, President Trump should VETO it every Time and FORCE them to Override his Veto to Repeal this Monstrosity.

Sign these 4 orders and it will be FULLY REPEALED in Less than 30 days.

NOT UNTIL, Anyone want to make a BET???

When and ONLY WHEN Government Lives under the Same Laws as us will anything substantial happen

Almost a thousand years ago, the 1100 Charter of Liberties considered men that made laws that were above the law were “evil and oppresive”.

Dear President Trump and team. We the people are asking you to do this bold move. Pull the rug out from these frauds in DC. Let’s have this sheet storm they can’t defend from a stroke of your bold signature. We despise these phonies even more than you do. Hit them where it hurts.

“They would all go on their wives medical plans.”

To add to that, report on any federal employee who goes on their wives plan. Put it on the front page of the newspaper and have it as the headline on the news.

Trump should hold a press conference and announce this, so the 51 no votes can share the misery they’ve imposed on the American public. He needs to do this right now in a powerful and populist speech, showing the hypocrisy of these elites. Have fun getting brain cancer treatment on the gold plan that you need to pay for McCain.
