18 states sue over Trump-halted ObamaCare payments - That didn't take long |
2017-10-14 |
![]() Eighteen states and Washington, D.C., signed onto the lawsuit filed Friday in federal court in California, according to Sarah Lovenheim, a spokeswoman for California Attorney General Xavier Becerra (D). On Thursday night, Trump announced he would stop making the payments, which led to an outcry from critics saying he was sabotaging the health-care law. The complaint will seek a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction and permanent injunction requiring the cost-sharing reduction payments be made. |

#1 If you believe the payments authorized by Obama are illegal then they should be discontinued. If you believe Obama had the legal right to authorize the payments then Trump has the same legal basis for discontinuing. Either way the payments will stop unless McConnell and Ryan once again save ObamaCare. |
