I'm not a sports fan but from the outside looking in, they're well paid to do a job and that is play ball. Fans support those enormous salaries so let's see how this plays out.

Trump To Sign Executive Order On Obamacare Tomorrow Morning

Trump To Sign Executive Order On Obamacare Tomorrow Morning

"...Still, the order will lift Obama administration limits on short-term health insurance plans, allowing the plans to last as long as 12 months and be renewed. The change to short-term health insurance could damage the stability of ObamaCare.  The fear from Democrats is that healthier people will migrate to cheaper, short-term plans, leaving only sicker people in ObamaCare plans and driving up premiums.

The source said the new rules for short-term plans are where administration officials think the order will have the "most immediate impact."

 The order will also allow people to use tax-advantaged accounts known as Health Reimbursement Accounts to pay for their premiums.

Meanwhile, as democrats scream bloody murder around 11am tomorrow when Trump is signing the EO, one person will be delighted: Sen. Rand Paul has been pushing for this order for months, arguing that allowing small businesses to band together to buy insurance gives them leverage to lower premiums. Paul is expected to be in attendance at the unveiling at the White House on Thursday."

One Angry American Rages: "Obama Lied, My 4th Health Plan Just Died

One Angry American Rages: "Obama Lied, My 4th Health Plan Just Died

"I don't have enough four-letter words for these propagandists.  There are an estimated 450,000 consumers like us in Colorado and 17 million of us nationwide -- small-business owners, independent contractors and others who don't get their plans through group coverage, big companies or government employers. The costs, headaches and disruption in our lives caused by Obamacare's meddling meddlers are real and massive.

But we're puzzles to corporate media journalists who've never had to meet a payroll and don't even know what is the individual market.

We're invisible to late-night TV clowns  who get their Obamacare-at-all-costs talking points from Chuck Schumer.

We're pariahs to social justice health care activists and Democrats  who want us to just shut up and subsidize everyone else's insurance.

And we're expendables to establishment Republicans  who hoovered up campaign donations on the empty promise to repeal Obamacare -- and now consider amnesty for immigrants here illegally and gun control higher legislative priorities than keeping their <snip>ed word.

We're the canaries in the Obamacare coal mine. Ignore us at your peril, America. You're next."
