The fake prez is threatening to kill (sabotage) subsidies that the states and people rely on

[BigmanPigman]

in an effort to ensure its demise. By stopping funding now, not in 2 years, will kill the bill AND people. I hope the senators had a pleasant lunch at the W House.

1. He cannot amend the legislation on his own

He would have to get the legislature to do it, and I kind of don't see those same Republicans agreeing to this kind of a fast one.

2. Go ahead.

Attack your own base.

3. I wish that was who it effected. That would be just and fair. It isn't fair to me though.

Since I can't work (I had to stop teaching before I could retire) and am on the ACA I need the money. I live in the 4th most expensive area in the country since I need to be close to my family, especially now. My ACA insur is $8,136 a year (1/4 of my income). I get $3,250 a year in subsidies. Without that 1/3 of my income will go to health insur and this doesn't include out of pocket money. Last year I put myself in the hospital since I was in such constant and severe pain and the doctors didn't know what caused it. It cost me $4,000 for 4 days and that's only for that one time. They finally diagnosed me correctly and now I know that I am going to need a lifetime of surgeries to reduce the pain since meds aren't strong enough. Half of those diagnosed kill themselves within a few years of being diagnosed since the pain is soooooo bad.

The good news is that I am still able to resist and I am doing it with 100% of my energy and passion. My one wish is for Mueller to bring them all (Pemce, Ryan, McConnell, the family, etc.) down before I die.

4. Forgive my snark

Obviously none of us want the Republicans hurting anybody

5. I don't believe he has the authority to do that.

A federal court would slap a permanent injunction on such a thing, I'm sure.
