Keep Obamacare alive, because the Trump family is still making money off it..

Did Trump play everyone?

Forbes called Oscar the “Obamacare startup” in a headline about its $1.5 billion valuation last April. Since then, Oscar’s estimated value has almost doubled: A few weeks ago, the company got $400 million investment from Fidelity at a $2.7 billion valuation.

Oscar Insurance, a $2.7 billion technology startup co-founded by Ivanka Trump’s brother-in-law, Joshua Kushner. Oscar has also received funding from Trump adviser Peter Thiel, who could face a loss on his investment if Oscar folds under a Trump-led overhaul of the 2010 Affordable Care Act.Joshua Kushner is the younger brother of Ivanka Trump’s husband, Jared Kushner, who could end up as a top White House advisor. Thiel, the co-founder of PayPal and a Trump supporter, is among the investors who have provided more than $700 million in funding to Oscar, according to Crunchbase.

Both Jared and Joshua Kushner are graduates of Harvard, the highly selective Ivy League college which received a pledge of $2.5 million from their father, real estate developer Charles Kushner. At Harvard, Joshua Kushner was roommates with Alexander Blankfein, the son of Goldman Sachs (GS) CEO Lloyd Blankfein.

What that says to me is he's not much brighter than his father in law.
