Trump told Republicans not to “waste” their time on extending the enhanced ACA subsidies set to expire, saying he’d only support “sending the money directly back to the people.”
Republicans are careening to a health care cliff with no solution in hand. An estimated 22 million people in the U.S. are about to see their health insurance premiums soar by, in some cases, thousands of dollars per month, as billions in funding for the Affordable Care Act expires on Dec. 31. The expiring funds, costing about $35 billion per year, were first passed during the pandemic to subsidize insurance payments, capping premiums for a “benchmark” ACA, or “Obamacare,” plan to 8.5% of income.
Remember when Republicans shut down the government for 43 days, specifically to prevent Democrats from saving these subsidies? And then the Democrats caved for no reason and got nothing? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
I haven’t been too keen on Democrats since maybe always, but they’ve usually been the better option and their liberal populism can be influenced quite easily so it’s usually the better choice.
But between Israel and this last fiasco with literally abandoning the ONE good thing their party pushed through, the ACA marketplace subsidies (which was still pretty anemic considering) I will never forget what they did. I have been directly harmed by these rat bastards.
I don’t have any illusions that we’re going to build a third party, our country doesn’t currently work that way. But I sure as shit am going to help advocate for flushing every old-guard, establishment Democrat out of office as soon as humanly possible. Useless, steaming pile of old-money fucks suckling at the Republican’s teets.
The Trump administration is working really hard to prove Luigi right
Okay but at least we got… wait, wait… umm… there was the…
70 days of starvation for elderly and unemployed people dependant on SNAPs?
They saved a bunch of government jobs. That’s it, that’s what all the pain was for. There is not a single institution in the United States that cares about you. You are an egg that exists to be cracked to make an omelette.
Cool send me the check. Must be like 30,000 per person
Glad democrats screwed government workers for a record length to achieve absolutely nothing.
Be fair. They got a THC ban.
It really makes you wonder if he would have considered extending it if they had offered to simply rename it Trump care
$2000 would only pay for a few months of insurance. Not better in any way.
Tim Kaine and crew, how’s that feeling for you!
Virginian here and I am ashamed of our current “representation”.

Still not volunteering.
Third parties are maga, FYI
