President Trump said early Sunday that ObamaCare will die "far sooner than anyone" thought if it doesn't receive federal funds to keep it going.
Link to tweet
The president's message comes just days before the Democrats and Republicans must agree on a federal budget or face a government shutdown.
Both parties are pushing for funding of their own priorities. The White House is pushing for funds to build a wall along the Mexican border and enhance border security, while Democrats hope to make more inroads in healthcare coverage.
White House officials have been publicly talking about the negotiations Sunday morning.

Let me translate this. Trump is saying, "If I don't get my way I'm going to kill healthcare for millions of Americans."

(2,559 posts)1. As Paul Ryan has said, the ACA is the law of the land...
And Trump took an oath of office to uphold the laws of the nation.
If he pulls this crap, it could be grounds for impeachment.

(5,352 posts)3. Obamacare subsidies have to be approved every year by Congress
He's submitting a budget that won't include those subsidies if he doesn't get his wall. Without those subsidies millions of people will not be able to afford their insurance premiums, and Obamacare will collapse as every insurer will leave the market. Essentially, he's holding tens of millions of Americans hostage unless Democrats agree to fund his border wall.
