Does this have to pass both Senate and House and can it override a trump veto?
So is Trump’s plan to be such a fucking asshole that he basically forces the Republicans to work with the Democrats to get things done? Maybe he IS playing three-dimensional chess after all…
This was always Congress’s responsibility. Obama only took over the CSRs because Congress wouldn’t do its duty to appropriate the funds for them.
This story is a little light on the details, but I trust Sen. Murray to understand who’s holding the cards here. This should play out like a Democratic rescue of the ACA, no matter how much Trump tries to take credit for forcing the issue.
He won’t veto. He’ll claim that his leadership forced them to take this step and he’ll take all the credit for personally moving their hands on the Ouija board.
Give the devil his due if he actually helped move the Senate . Now to get Ryan to do the same.
Because Obamacare is finished. It’s dead. It’s gone. You shouldn’t even mention it. It’s gone. There is no such thing as Obamacare anymore. I said this years ago. It’s a concept that couldn’t have worked. In its best days it couldn’t have worked.
lol.
Lousy prediction. Very, very wrong. Bad!
@erik_t You’re quoting the moron, right? You don’t want to put any faith in anything he says. This was nothing more than one of the 10 or lies he tells every day.
@geofu54 ACA will live on. Besides, who wants to say “trump” every time they reference health care. It’ll just make you sick again.
The plan agreed to by Mr. Alexander and Senator Patty Murray of Washington, a Democrat, is intended to stabilize health insurance markets under the Affordable Care Act.
Of course the moron will take the credit. Full of it.
And will now call it TrumpCare.
Please tell me now that congress has finally been pushed to action that we have to give tr@mp the credit? 
Sounds too convenient. Let’s let the House at it, and then we’ll know what’s really up.
No way.
It will…
… you know that doesn’t stop The Narcissist-in-Chief from calling the deal TrumpCare don’t you? Everything is about him.
It would be like giving a arsonist credit for updating fire codes.
Well we updated the codes after this crazy guy kept trying to burn down the building… so we give him credit?
Oooh! Nice one!
…a deal that would fund the cost-sharing reduction payments for two years…
…the bill amends definition of affordability…
…Exact text of the measure has not yet been released…
Yeah, I thought not.
AKA The Failure In Chief
If Donald Trump wants to drive through single-payer and call it Trumpcare I’ll be cheering raucously. I am a results-oriented fellow.
And, as I predicted, Trump promptly takes credit for all of it…in 3…2…1…
Alexander and Murray had been negotiating for quite some time. It has nothing to do with the fuckin’ moron who has no fuckin’ idea about what the two Senators were negotiating about.
