A small business owner who attended the signing ceremony for President Trump's executive order on health care now says he wouldn't have gone had he known the extent of Trump's actions.

Dave Ratner, who owns seven Dave's Soda and Pet City stores in western Massachusetts, said he was invited to go to last week's signing by the National Retailers Association, according to WBUR.

"Petco, PetSmart, Costco — all these chains with a huge amount of employees, they go out and they bargain with the insurance companies," Ratner told the station.

"Dave, or the plumber, or the barbershop, goes out to try and get health insurance for their employees. We don't have anywhere near the bargaining power. So we pay way more," he said.

Ratner said, though, he didn't completely know what Trump's executive order would do ahead of the signing. He said he also wasn't aware that Trump later in the day would end key payments to insurers selling ObamaCare plans.

"In my particular case, had I known that he was going to announce that he's dismantling ObamaCare, I never would've gone," Ratner said.

Ratner has faced backlash from customers, some of whom have yelled at employees asking: "How could your boss do this? What kind of person is he?"

"I said to my wife last night, I said, 'You know, I just want you to know I love you, in case I don't wake up. In case I drop dead when I'm sleeping,'" he said.

"Why people are taking it out on me for going to Washington to do something that I thought was going to do good for millions of people," he said. "I just don't get it."

Trump last week signed an executive order aimed at taking action on ObamaCare after the GOP failed to repeal the law.

The president said the order is "starting that process" to repeal ObamaCare, adding it will be the "first steps to providing millions of Americans with ObamaCare relief."

Experts warned, however, that his order could undermine the stability of ObamaCare markets by opening up skimpier, cheaper plans that would divert healthy people away from ObamaCare plans.

Democrats, meantime, said that the order is part of Trump’s larger plan to “sabotage” the health-care law and accomplish on his own what Congress could not.

Later that day, the White House announced Trump would end key payments to insurers selling ObamaCare plans, his most aggressive move yet to dismantle the law after multiple GOP efforts to repeal and replace it failed.
