NY Times: Trump Threat to Obamacare Would Send Premiums and Deficit Skyward

the subsidies, called cost-sharing reductions = Corporate Welfare

[SharpRightTurn]

Let it die. Trump should say the Senate was not willing to flush the ObummerCare turkey down the toilet and enact a free market approach, so we’re stuck with the original version the Dims said was so great. Trump should call it Obummer/McCainiacCare. How do you like it, America?

[Defiant]

This might be what is needed to get the RINOs to act—the press will blame it all on the Republicans when rates go through the roof and plans get canceled. Then they’ll have to pass something.

[Still Thinking]

Is this the usual distortion? Are the subsidies supposed to expire according to the law and Trump is “threatening” by saying he’ll do what the law says rather than ignore the text in order to prop it up, like Ebola always did?
