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.

The democrats who voted to end the shut down are delusional
I think you mean paid off
No, they’re not. They’re getting something out of it. I don’t know why that is precisely, but they’re getting something. This was never about caring for their constituents.
No, Chuck Schumer was simply ordering them to do what his donors wanted.

But they promised!
Who would have ever guessed that the hypocrite lying liars that always lie would ever lie about such a thing!? Well I never!
I’m so glad our representatives aren’t the absolute peak of naive and gullible of all people in existence. It would really suck to be depending on insanely naive and pathetic people.
Not naive. Complicit.
Okay but at least we got… wait, wait… umm… there was the…

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.
Glad democrats screwed government workers for a record length to achieve absolutely nothing.
Be fair. They got a THC ban.
The Trump administration is working really hard to prove Luigi right
It really makes you wonder if he would have considered extending it if they had offered to simply rename it Trump care
I made basically the same comment in like 2016 on Reddit lol.
Cool send me the check. Must be like 30,000 per person
Tim Kaine and crew, how’s that feeling for you!
Virginian here and I am ashamed of our current “representation”.
It’s really amazing
“republicnas are careening towards a helth care cliff”? …no they’re not. what cliff? THEIR healthcare and benefits are firmly secured and under no threat whatsoever.
why would they give a shit about your healthcare?? it is a pillar of conservatism to not give a shit about you. never forget, the driving mindset and creed for republicans is: FUCK YOU, I GOT MINE
$2000 would only pay for a few months of insurance. Not better in any way.
Still not volunteering.
His hair is starting to look like Kim Jong-Un’s flat top.
