Trump threat: End health payments unless there's an overhaul

The true threat is killing funding from taxes on billionaires

Capt Dwayne Conyers - $250,000 per year for a married couple filing jointly does NOT make someone a millionaire. This is easily a couple owning a small business, a couple of married professionals or middle management people. $125k /yr per person is NOT wealthy. It is upper middle class. So, this funding will be on the backs of the upper middle class professionals and small business owners.

reduce federal funding for medicare to pre obama care levels. Let individual states decide for themselves how to handle healthcare. If some states was to drive themselves over the insolvency cliff paying for everyone's medical care let them. No government bailouts of those states. If those states want to raise state income and business taxes to pay for all their social programs let them. People and businesses will vote with their feet.

Trump needs to work on fixing out corporate tax structure and reduce taxes on people and business. That is what he was voted in to do.

Well, it won’t crash and burn on its own MSgt Jason McClish... it is getting help.

It has been crashing and burning since it started. Why do you think various insurers had announced last year before the election that they were pulling out of some state exchanges? Premiums have gone way up even for those of us with employer sponsored coverage. We have healthy young people deciding that paying the penalty is cheaper than purchasing insurance. Why should people who contribute nothing to the economy get subsidized healthcare end end up with better coverage for less than people who's taxes and premiums are being raised to cover them?

I am all for covering children but able bodied adults who are capable of working but don't shouldn't get anything! People whose medical conditions are brought on by obesity shouldn't either. Diets are cheap.

Agreed. This ACA is controversial in the Constitution at a minimum, with arguments that health care isn't mentioned and it's not up to he federal government to provide health care. This seems more suited for individual states, as the states are to govern themselves, with minimal federal oversight.

Huge divide between allowing something to happen and causing it to happen.

We are in the bulls-eye SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL.
