Trump: I'm 'very proud of my executive order' on health care

Source: The Hill




BY BRANDON CARTER - 10/14/17 07:38 AM EDT

President Trump tweeted Saturday he is "very proud" of his recently-signed executive order on health care.

CNBC reported Friday that two large insurance companies, Centene and Anthem, saw their stocks drop after Trump’s announcement. Multiple hospital and health care companies also saw their stocks decline.

Trump signed an executive order Thursday which seeks to expand the ability of small businesses and other groups to join together in purchasing health insurance through association health plans (AHPs). It also seeks to lift limits on short-term health care plans. The order directs agencies to write new rules.

Experts warned the order could destabilize the ObamaCare markets as cheaper, less-effective plans could drive people away from ObamaCare plans.

I'm reminded more of the puppy who is so thrilled to lay a turd on the carpet then sniffs it in all its glory.

6. This isn't about healthcare. It's about THE MONEY, which they need for the tax cuts for the 1%.

It's always been about a return to free market for HC, AND to pull the money out of healthcare, so it's available as free money to use to offset the tax cuts for the 1%.

I wonder if he even understands what he signed...

On second thought, no I don't. All he knows is that it is undoing something Obama did.

If you're so proud. Just get one of your (I assume you have dozens of them) yellow letter "T" fridge magnets and stick it up on the fridge so everyone can see how proud you are and be proud just like you, you imbecilic infantile white nationalist enabler.

Visigoths were proud of the job they did sacking Rome as well.

This is a man who cut his disabled grandnephew's health insurance just for spite.
