I never realized that Price was quite so slick as a spin artist. Trump should have made him the Comm director...

Of course, you'll be fired because you didn't get the votes, eh comrade?
This is like being tortured, having cancer is so f'ing hard! Having bad dreams about being uninsurable & dying in agony, I can't tell you how bad it is
Trump to make decision on payments this week....

If he were to withhold payments, any chance that enough of CONgress would group together and change the law (with veto proof count) so that Trump can't make that decision any more? I know...I know...dreaming.
In short, yes. Such a move would totally scuttle any (small) remaining hope of the GOP passing a healthcare bill and force their hand to prop up the ACA in at least a limited fashion with non-conterverisal moves like mandating CSR payments.
I disagree. Congress will blame it on Trump and claim they are too busy (with tax cuts for the wealthy, etc) to spend any more time on this issue. I just don't see the GOPs in Congress going to bat against Trump on this issue. Remember also both the House and Senate are GOP controlled, so unless both Ryan and McConnell allow the issue to come up, it won't. Ryan's life goal is to gut taxes on the wealthy, he's not going to let this stand in the way any more. Plus that's what their donor class is demanding.
Reporters .... say no more.
Just to be specific:
When discussing arresting MS13 Members he stated to just throw them in the car, don't worry about putting your hand on their head.
Nearly every attempt of his to muscle congress as a whole or individual congress people has backfired spectacularly. Seems we're in for more.
What is wrong with this man? Doesn't he understand he is president? Why is he threatening people on twitter?
Immaterial it's called the justice system not the revenge system. This is also America not some shit hole, we expect the police to be better than the criminals at least most of us do.
Majority (64% - up from 54% earlier) want to keep Obamacare as is or fix it and then move on.

Of course, the GOP never paid attention to the similar polls leading up to this and will most likely claim fake news or some crap on how the polls are always wrong.

Lawsuits would obviously ensue perhaps with injunctive relief via the federal courts.
I haven't read enough but some sites have said that this is a 'tool' of the president. Not sure why he alone would have this power. Also note that while CONgress has to buy their insurance through the exchanges, the president does not.

The cost of health insurance is a rounding error in Trump's finances.

Insurance: Yes.
But insurance is not actual healthcare. We have a much larger problem with health services as a whole which cannot be solved with the Democrats or Republicans plans and certainly not Trumps rounding errors. He has no concept of the issues at hand because he is so ridiculously rich he just cant grasp it.
