Eat Your Cooking

President Trump recently tweeted that bailouts for insurance companies and members of Congress related to Obamacare should end.

If a new HealthCare Bill is not approved quickly, BAILOUTS for Insurance Companies and BAILOUTS for Members of Congress will end very soon!

If ObamaCare is hurting people, & it is, why shouldn't it hurt the insurance companies & why should Congress not be paying what public pays?

The reference to Congress involves an exemption that allows congressional members to opt out of the ACA framework in pursuit of other healthcare alternatives.

Thomas Massie subsequently asked the president why he didn't end them right now?

Trump has the power to do so. Why shouldn't Congress be required to eat its own cooking?
