On Thursday night, the Trump White House announced it is ending critical subsidies to insurers.
The move was a huge blow to the Obamacare law.

The move will put pressure on Democrats to negotiate a “fix” to the “imploding” health care law.
In 2013 after Democrats passed the law it was discovered that the Democrats (with no Republican votes) stuffed the law with a provision that reimbursed insurance companies up to 80% of their losses due to Obamacare.
Trump ended that on Friday.
On Saturday Trump spiked the ball with an end zone dance.
