Trump Says He May Veto Extension of Health Care Subsidies

(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump said Sunday he may veto a bill to extend Obamacare subsidies if Congress sent one to his desk.

Trump’s remark to reporters on Air Force Once comes after nine swing-district House Republicans joined Democrats Wednesday in advancing legislation to revive expired Affordable Care Act subsidies for three years.

The Senate has yet to vote on the measure. It’s unlikely that Democrats will be able to overcome Republican opposition in that chamber, but the GOP will face additional pressure following the House vote.

Lawmakers have also shown concerns over a surge in out-of-pocket Obamacare premium costs for the more than 20 million people enrolled in those insurance plans.

1. ABC

[dalton99a]

2. +1. "Killing Americans Is Good. Helping Americans Is Bad"

His lifelong motto

[Justice matters.]

38. He didn't kill enough Americans during COVID-19 by his willful negligence

for personal profits.

[UpInArms]

4. It's a feature

Not a bug

[bucolic_frolic]

3. He thinks the unpopular thing is the popular choice

Drip, drip, November's coming.

[MissHoneychurch]

5. Not soon enough ...

and he will be doing so much more damage till then. I hope the US gets to vote in November at all.

[karynnj]

6. With the House margins so close, could enough Republicans threaten to caucus with the Democrats

if Trump vetoes a bill ... if the Senate passes one. Would that threat of the Democrats getting the House before November cause Trump to not veto while claiming to have helped people?

[Buckeyeblue]

8. I don't think it matters to him

He doesn't care if Evil Mike is Speaker or not.

[karynnj]

16. He cares because he says if the Democrats get in he will be impeached

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

46. But the Senate won't convict.

He's been impeached. He's been convicted of felonies. He doesn't care. He's still the best golfer of all the presidents in history.

[thesquanderer]

47. He may say that, but I don't think he cares about getting impeached per se.

He's beat it twice, and no 2027 Senate will convict him with the required 2/3 Majority.

But he doesn't want all the investigations that would come out of a Dem-controlled House.

[Delmette2.0]

36. trump just wants the money

that would go to the people or the insurance companies.

[Ninga]

17. Very plausible. Such a plot line in the horror show of our country is very possible. You may have foreshadowed the

outcome. All of which makes me sick to my stomach……

[karynnj]

20. A precedent of sorts is that Senator Jeffords switched

in the early GWB years, giving the majority to the Senate Democrats because the Republicans did not keep their commitment on funding special education.

[Ninga]

22. I remember. It was a long time ago in political years vs. actual years. Not obvious to me a current R Senator who

might fill role. Do you have someone in mind.

[karynnj]

27. I was speaking of the House and have no idea who might

do that - and more than one is needed.

It might be the parties are too polarized and most of the Republican dissenters have been to the far right. The question is whether there is a moderate or even conservative Representative horrified by how far Trump has gone and how much chaos he is causing. It would need to be a very intense concern as any who switch would be immediately attacked.

[Ninga]

35. So noted. My mind goes immediately to the House J-6 Committee R members and realize that any current Congressperson

who steps forward to vote with the D’s must be prepared to lose his/her next election not knowing if their district has lost their appetite for maga.
The R’s do not have an obvious deep bench of patriot hero’s.

[karynnj]

37. Agree it would be career ending

That means it has to be people who are strongly against where Trump is taking the country and willing to sacrifice their political future. The problem is many decent Republicans left in his first term and others left or were pushed out after voting for impeachment the first time

This means all we have left are new representatives and people who voted against impeachment after January 6 which they saw with their own eyes. So, of the latter group I wonder if there are any with buyers regret.

7. Me, Me, Me, Me, Me, Me, Me. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

Always says what gets attention and by golly it works.

[Efilroft Sul]

9. $138 billion for ACA subsidies in 2025 vs. a $600 billion increase in 2027 DoD spending.

Guess which one the regime and its MAGA sycophants will tell us is not affordable?

[Johonny]

10. Please, let him veto it

Because I want him below 30 percent.

Could the man grow so out of touch he can't keep his MAGAts in line?

[vapor2]

30. His numbers should literally be in the teens right?

[eggplant]

44. insert obligatory teen joke here.

[Grins]

49. Reporter....!

Reporters on AF1: “You don’t have the freakin’ balls!!!

And watch him do it. Then the blowback!

[flvegan]

11. One pro-Trump PAC has been running ads here non stop

Been a couple weeks now, I think. Maybe longer as I don't pay attention to most ads and I mute as soon as I hear his stupid voice. These ads are very Trump v health insurance companies, how Obamacare has been ripping us off, etc. It doesn't say anything about a proper or replacement plan or idea, just Trump is awesome and taking on the fat cats . Which is hilarious.

But, 30% (or more) of our country is too stupid to know any better than shit like this ad. Also water with Brawndo because it's what plants crave.

[bluestarone]

12. Well, not surprising at all. NOW we can still hold the feet of his republican friends in the Senate

IF they vote against over riding his veto.

[Orrex]

13. Holy shit why doesn't he just fucking die already?

[txwhitedove]

14. #1 stop calling it "Obamacare". Just flaunts it in Ahole's face and keeps a lot of voters confused.

[ffr]

15. Did anybody really think he'd do anything but veto such a measure to reduce costs for Americans?

Come on! The guy's entire brand centers around ripping people off. Hurting people, is his signature trait.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

18. But he wants to subsidize oil companies to go to Venezuala.

[dalton99a]

19. +1

[vapor2]

31. Priorities by a greedy, selfish POS

[Justice matters.]

39. ACA subsidies won't give him a cut.

Just like a mob boss all his criminal life.

[spanone]

21. K&R

[Wednesdays]

23. I'd be surprised if he didn't

The cruelty is the point.

[jfz9580m]

24. Trump should go fuck himself-crazy old fart.nt

[Mr.Bee]

25. Hopefully This Will WAKE

some supporters up, trump/miller is turning this country into a NAZI Nation.

[Justice matters.]

40. Over 70 million imbeciles voted for that moron.

Doubtful they would even know about how the NAZIs acquired power.

[Mr.Bee]

48. That's Why

Public Education that Republicants have been defunding for decades is so important!
Ignorance has consequences.

[kimbutgar]

26. Why and I not shocked he's doing this ?

When I heard they passed the bill in both houses I knew the 🍊🐖💩 would veto it !

Anything that helps the American people that President Obama signed into law you knew it he would veto it.

I hate him so much !

[C_U_L8R]

28. How many magats depend on the ACA?

They may not appreciate Trump’s ‘go broke and die’ approach.
If they even realize what’s happening. Maybe they deserve this,
but the rest of us don’t.

[Janbdwl72]

29. If he does, it means almost certain defeat

For his party in the House in November .

[Jarqui]

32. I don't know how the Republicans can win the midterms legally doing

crap like this.

They pull this, it starts to smell like the fix is in.

[Norrrm]

33. If so, add ACA to the list of republican issues/policies.

Tie every republican to certain issues

1. Destruction of the White House East Wing.
No approval or plan.

2. Pardon a convicted drug smuggler, 400 tons.

3. Favorable treatment for a convicted human trafficker of sexual victims.
.

He will wait until after the election for his pardons so it will hurt less for the republicans.

Especially the pardon of Ghislaine Maxwell.

[underpants]

34. That's got impeachment written all over it

[Justice matters.]

43. But the Guardians Of Pedophiles in the Senate will vote 'NAY'

GOP = Guardians Of Pedophiles voted for the release bill to make believe they were for it.

[Sibelius Fan]

41. Thune already said he won't bring up the bill in the Senate.

[Katcat]

42. WHY WHY WHY

Do these damn reporters keep asking him leading questions? Odds are, he’s never thought of a veto until he was asked IF HE WOULD!

[topcelts]

45. Matthew 25:42-45

42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

To all of those amerikans that this speaks to; those inflicting pain, sorrow, death on God's people, enjoy what you have now because what awaits you is indescribable.

[WestMichRad]

50. May? Of course he will veto it, should it reach his desk.

Everything he touches turns to shit.

[no_hypocrisy]

51. Trump's "Logic"

His veto won’t affect the Midterms b/c there will be no Midterms.

[PuraVidaDreamin]

52. Which means it's as good as gone.

As long as he is protecting his pedophile 'friends'
