On Saturday, Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer called out Donald Trump and urged him to “finally begin acting presidential” and stop threatening to end key ObamaCare payments to insurers.
“If the president refuses to make the cost sharing reduction payments, every expert agrees that premiums will go up and health care will be more expensive for millions of Americans,” Schumer first tweeted.
“The president ought to stop playing politics with people’s lives and health care, start leading, and finally begin acting presidential,” he added.
.@POTUS ought to stop playing politics with people's lives & #health care, start leading & finally begin acting presidential.

Trump went on a Twitter rant on Saturday, threatening millions of Americans after the collapse of Senate GOP efforts this week to repeal and replace ObamaCare.
“After seven years of ‘talking’ Repeal & Replace, the people of our great country are still being forced to live with imploding ObamaCare!” Trump wrote in a tweet.
“If a new HealthCare Bill is not approved quickly, BAILOUTS for Insurance Companies and BAILOUTS for Members of Congress will end very soon!” he added.

If Trump decides to follow through with his plans deductibles will go up and Americans will be paying more for insurance. This is all a tantrum Trump is throwing just because he keeps failing at repealing Obamacare.
Why should Americans have to suffer because Trump acts like a five-year-old?
