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.
hes basically a AIPAC stooge, much like mitch is moscow mitch. hes distinctly remember a post/sub discussing it was 13 others dems that were being shielded from being primaried, so they took the 8 that wernt up for election next year. i think its the 13 dems that are up for elections in '26, im betting its those 13 that also support the end of shutdown but couldnt because of being primaried.
