Trump the Mighty and Perfect, has been barking about insurance companies. Now he's actually hurting them. UNH and HUM down about 19% today.

Does he mean it? Ir is he shaking them down for a bribe?

Or, maybe he simply wants to take health insurance away from the Proles, so the money can be used for more "JC" tax cuts? That is the common denominator, between taking away the ACA subsidy, and squeezing MA plans.

In an environment this corrupt, I can't tell.

It is pretty clear what will happen.

Mangioni will be innocent because Spankee will pardon him completely for showing how to reduce the cost of healthcare. Management will "get the hint".

The only problem: It is NOT JUST a one-way street to a solution....
