45 is stopping health care subsidies! MSNBC just announced it.

[BigmanPigman]

Everyone's insurance will increase. My ACA just increased...now 50% of my disability income will go toward my healthcare instead of 35%.

[Blaukraut]

1. Trump is an evil, demented piece of garbage

Governed by an incessant need for revenge against an imagined slight. He really does not care if he increases the deficit and takes healthcare away from millions just so long as he gets back at Obama for whatever he thinks he did to him.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

28. The ribbing Trumplethinskin took......

at the White House Press Corps dinner in 2012 over his Birther crap and President Obama releasing his long form Birth Certificate, and all the lies Trump told about investigators in Hawaii did not find. Thinskin Trump has never forgiven Pres. Obama for that, nor never apologized to him for that.

Donald Trump has no fresh ideas of his own. His legacy will be one lf scandal, lies, and revenge over Barack Obama being far more successful and empathetic towards those less fortunate in this country. It is time for #44 to speak out and be brutal in an eloquent manner only he knows how to execute. That will get Trump enraged even more.

[BigmanPigman]

29. I never thought of that!

If Obama did that it could possibly push him over the edge. Maybe he will have the long awaited pressure cooker meltdown on live TV and be so fucking crazy that the most die hard repug saying, "Get the straitjacket ASAP!".
I was reading an article today about how 45 has never had a sense of humor or sincerely laughs and has never had any friends. I watched the 2011 dinner and saw his face and I DID take notice. He was SOOOOO pissed off. The juvenile man baby is doing all of this out of spite. He is truly a sick mother and I told him so in an email to the White House tonight.

[yardwork]

40. I dont think it began then. Trump started the birther crap because hes a racist.

Trump himself started all this. There would have been nothing to joke about if Trump hadn’t already made a big deal about “investigating” President Obama, accusing him of being born in Kenya, accusing him of being a Muslim.

This did NOT begin at the White House correspondents dinner. It began much earlier, and was started by Trump himself, probably with the collusion of Putin even back then.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

42. You are correct.

in stating Trump's racism. The fact that an African-American was ever President riles him to the core. Imagine what he will do when the official Wh>te House Obama portraits are unveiled in a year or two. What will be the reaction then if the Donald is still POTUS?

[uponit7771]

2. ?, some of this is by law or congress how in the hell is he stopping it by EO? This seems weird

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

32. Precisely! How is this constitutional?!?!

[Johonny]

43. Just like yesterday's signing statement. We can expect lawsuits.

But win or lose the damage might be done before settlement. It would probably take congress forcing the subsidies down his throat to end his threat. And this congress has little spine.

[uponit7771]

44. +1

[rockfordfile]

3. Why are you using a number? Just curious

[WinkyDink]

4. He's the 45th President. Bush and his father, e.g., are known as 43 and 41.

Love your name!

[BigmanPigman]

5. I made a promise to myself

on Nov 8th that I will never call him president, write his name, or listen to him speak. He is not my president. So I call him the fake prez, The Donald, 45, tRump, and now fucking moron.

I just wrote him an email and called him a fucking shitty monster who deserves to suffer in agonizing pain throughout eternity. I have written several like this. I think his people know me since I can not get tickets to his rallies (I just want to reserve/create empty chairs since I would never go).

[MFM008]

8. I will never use his name

Or title.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

33. I prefer Nazi-in-Chief.

[Laffy Kat]

35. I don't use his name as prez. He's 45. nt

[spanone]

6. heartless bastard.

[Aristus]

7. This is a calamity!

Now my homeless patients will lose their insurance.

The ones without an income relied upon the subsidy to be able to afford their ACA premium.

A lot of innocent people are going to suffer.

Which is exactly what Trump and his Trumpanzees want...

[Garrett78]

20. Silly liberals, we're not talking about the ACA. We're talking about Obamacare.

[Hoyt]

36. As I understand it, this is not premium subsidies. It does apply to

help with deductibles and co-insurance which still represents a problem for many. But I think, and I hope to hell so -- they'll still get coverage for preventive care, etc., that doesn't have deductibles and co-insurance applicable.

The POS used car salesman is still hurting poor people for no other reason than he can, and GOPers are supporting him.

[stopbush]

9. Time to become a statistic, as in Americans Who Lost Their Health Insurance

Thanks To tRump.

[UTUSN]

10. He has no rock bottom

[MLAA]

22. The only rock bottom is the sludge and ooze he climbed out from under.

[Grassy Knoll]

11. Red States Are Gonna Be Pissed Too, You Fuckin Clown...

[global1]

12. He Now Owns This - Lock, Stock And Barrel.....

It can no longer be called the Affordable Care Act or Obamacare. It is TrumpDon'tCare - and he owns it and all the suffering and death that will go with it. This will hang around his neck like an Albatross.

13. If you get SSDI (disability), don't you have Medicare?

[roamer65]

15. It takes 2 years after date of SSDI entitlement to get Medicare.

https://www.ssa.gov/planners/disability/dapproval4.html

[Kaleva]

21. One can get it a few months after starting to recieve SSDI

"But if your disability onset date is far enough back, you may have already "served" much or all of the two-year waiting period by the time you get a favorable decision (approval of benefits) from Social Security. (For some claims that go through the appeal process to a hearing in front of an administrative law judge, it can take one to two years to get a disability decision.)

However, your onset date for payment purposes can only be 17 months before your application date—that's because Social Security allows a maximum of 12 months of retroactive benefits. (This maximum gets you to 12 months before your application date, plus five months for the waiting period, so your earliest your effective onset date can be is 17 months before the application date.) In this case, the earliest that you can become eligible for Medicare is one year after you apply for Social Security disability."

https://www.disabilitysecrets.com/dnewsblog/2010/04/how-long-does-it-take-to-get-medicare.html

I got Medicare a year after I applied for SSDI. I applied in Oct of whatever year it was, was approved a few months later in January and got Medicare coverage in October. A full year after I applied.

[BigmanPigman]

16. Nope, I was a teacher and have to pay into a state retirement system

and we do not get social security. The profession is very odd and disability isn't automatically taken out of your paycheck, you have to ask to have it taken out on an individual basis. I had to stop teaching since I got too sick and couldn't get retirement or insurance since I am too young. I am sick and screwed.

[MFM008]

26. not always

mine is Medicaid. Only a matter of time before the maggot somehow destroys Medicaid and
Disability.

[roamer65]

14. Gonna get interesting when all the hospital layoffs and closures start.

Rural hospitals are going to take a big hit.

[greymattermom]

19. Rural hospitals will be a thing of the past.

And those folks were Trump voters.

[TheFrenchRazor]

17. there goes my health insurance. nt

[NightWatcher]

18. trump being a dick in the dead of night.

What a fuckstick

[NurseJackie]

23. It's what Susan Sarandon wanted. Just LOOK at how giddy and animated she is...

... she can barely contain her excitement at the horrors that await us.

[Bradshaw3]

25. I would like to start an online petition

of all the people who have been directly hurt by dump with them telling their stories of how they have been hurt (such as losing healthcare) and send it to that stupid prima dona.

[BigmanPigman]

30. I have been signing and writing letters via

various Dem organizations and petitions (a lot are on the Daily KOS site). They want you to share your own stories about how it personally effects you. He doesn't read or listen to anyone. That is part of his problem. He has so many problems and serious mental illnesses and should be in the mental ward at Bellevue instead of the White House.

[sprinkleeninow]

37. This isn't nice of me but

when I read your entry, (being blurry eyed presently), I thot I read it to say: "she can barely contain her excrement..."
I thot, that can't be right, can it?

[workinclasszero]

39. Susan has the best health care her millions can buy!

She needed the revolution to start over the broken life's and needless deaths of the great unwashed masses...us little people.

I'm sure Sarandon and Jill Stein are squealing in delight at the news of our impending death and destruction by the monster Trump!

[joshcryer]

41. Historical materialists want the whole world to burn.

They disgust me.

[SHRED]

24. Goodbye rural hospitals

[rdking647]

27. its time for the military to take over

if the GOP wont the military has to step in

[dalton99a]

31. Murderous evil.

[JayhawkSD]

34. No one corrects the original post with actual facts.

The constitution does not allow the executive to issue orders to spend money unless Congress has authorized that spending. Obama asked Congress to fund this spending and they voted not to do so. He authorized the spending by executive order, and a federal court ruled that it was unlawful. The court allowed it to continue while it was being appealed, but the fact remains that at the present time it has been found to be unlawful.

This is part of what some warned about when Obama said that, "If Congress won't act then I will." It was cautioned that, aside from being in violation of his constitutional authority, what he could do by executive order, another president could undo by executive order.

[PoliticAverse]

38. Yes what is being stopped is the "risk corridor payments" which the ACA failed to provide...

a funding source for.

[titaniumsalute]

45. Sadly hti smight just be what has to happen to wake people the fuck up

When Trump thumpers see their hc cost go up 20%, 30%, 40% or whatever and this was 100% based on HIS one Executive order how else will they spin it?
