Rick Scott: Totally agree, @POTUS! I'm writing the bill right now.
We must stop taxpayer money from going to insurance companies and instead give it directly to Americans in HSA-style accounts and let them buy the health care they want. This will increase competition & drive down costs.
Rick Scott is right, government funding for health insurance is such a scam.

Any Dem reopening the government is helping Trump and Homan to kidnap more people. There is absolutely no benefit to re-opening the government. They're telling you every day that when ICE gets more money, it's gonna be full on disaster. If your Senator is offering up a CR, they're on Trump's side
