On keeping health care coverage affordable, the GOP’s Steve Scalise gives away the game
Speaker Mike Johnson said Republicans are ready for “thoughtful conversations” about the ACA’s future. That’s not, however, what the majority leader said.
The government shutdown accomplishes three great objectives of Trump and his cult.
One, It cleans a lot of Democrats out of the government, as Trump can and will fire them by the bunches.
Second, with the massive increase in premiums at the end of the year for Obamacare, Democrat users will be especially hard hit, perhaps even accomplish Trump's long term goal of killing the program altogether. It was a President Obama achievement, so Trump is completely justified in seeking its destruction for all time. It matters not that more red states subscribe to Obamacare than do blue states. But the Republican citizens of those red states, by and large, are wealthier than blue state Democrats and can easily afford the increased costs of Obamacare premiums. RINOs, such as Margie Taylor Green should back off and embrace the new Obamacare reality. Steve is working hard on a replacement that makes sense; it should be ready shortly.
Third, with the beautiful shutdown, Mike does not have to swear-in new Arizona Democratic rep. Adelita Grijalva, whose affirmative vote could cause release of the heinous Epstein files exposing Trump to serious accusations of impropriety. It could be the nail in his coffin.
So, as Trump likes to say, "we'll see what happens,"
Bigly!!!
