Republicans Cheer as Trump Throws Sick Americans Into Turmoil
Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell could fix the mess the president just made today if they wanted to. They don’t and they won’t.

Donald Trump’s done a lot of bad things in his 10 months in the White House, but until Thursday, none of them constituted a direct attack on the well-being of millions of Americans. With his health-care executive order and then his late-night announcement that the government would be immediately ending cost-sharing reduction payments (CSRs), he has created a situation that will throw millions of Americans—sick Americans, people with diabetes and cancer and other diseases—into turmoil.

I can’t think of a time a president has gone out of his way, and he really did, to put citizens at direct risk—deliberately and openly causing people to suffer. And for what? To erase from the books a law that bears the name of his hated predecessor. This isn’t close to normal. Other presidents want to undo the work and legacies of predecessors with whom they disagreed, sure. But they haven’t done it like this, playing with the lives of Americans, and with no Plan B to replace what they’re taking away.

1. His actions regarding health care for Americans...

Actually made that lump in my throat come back.

The one that showed up last election night, and took months to go away.

Just unbelievably heartless behavior from the President of the United States.

2. Trumps goal is the same one pushed by Mercer and Koch

to send America back to the 19th century and to give all the money to the rich.

4. Yes

The 1% will rule as kings while everybody else will live in garbage dumps making 10 cents an hour if they are lucky.

3. Trump's holding sick people hostage until Democrats make a deal.
