Donald Trump threatens to veto Obamacare subsidies bill

Story by Jasmine Laws

President Donald Trump has said he “might” veto a bill that passed through the House on Thursday that would extend Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies.

Speaking to reporters on board Air Force One on Sunday en route to Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, the president was asked if he would veto the bill if it passed through the Senate, to which Trump responded: “I might.”

A White House official told Newsweek: “The President has been clear that he believes the money in question should go directly to people to buy their own health care rather than to big insurance companies to pad their bottom line.”

As Bobby Brown boasted, "that's his perogative".

Trump is looking to squeeze Congress for something in return for helping preserve GOP House majority.

If you're gonna do that, put the money in HSAs. That way it can grow if not needed.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
