Donald Trump appears poised to announce a two-year extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies, due to expire at the end of December, while setting new limits on who is eligible to receive the tax credits, according to reports.

Without an extension of Covid-19-era Obamacare subsidies, insurance premiums for nearly 22 million American citizens threaten to more than double early next year, a point made repeatedly by Democrats during the recent 43-day government shutdown, who refused to sign a stopgap spending bill that did not address the problem.

    I notice you’re still talking, but there’s really no need.

    Keep trying those AI girlfriend things, maybe that’ll keep you occupied until your next bout of glossolalia.

        Well, only if homosexuals don’t exist. But I gotta tell ya, I don’t go in for that kind of bigotry, okay?

        I mean, not cool man. Not cool. Open your mind, okay. It’s not all about you.

          Now I’m a homosexual? Goddamn I’m learning so much about myself. You don’t go for that kind of bigotry but you jump directly to it when you feel slighted? Hate to tell you, you’re bigot.

          It’s not all about me but the things you direct at me towards me certainly are, try harder bud. You find the bottom of that hole yet boss?

            Wow. Now it’s my fault you can’t imagine dating a woman. I’ve heard of self-hate but this is beyond that. Just accept who you are, ok? You don’t have to lash out at everyone because you’re hurting. Things do get better.

              Maybe I’m not into women genius? Maybe I’m not into anyone, maybe you don’t need to try to insult people via their sexuality when you’re shitty argument fails and you’re too fuckin dumb to just give up and move on.

              You say you’re not a bigot but you just can’t stop saying super bigoted shit.

                  Infantilizing?

                  Again you say you’re not a bigot but every thing you keep trying to insult me with is bigoted. Maybe stop trying to insult strangers on the Internet and instead make a point worth standing up for with some amount of adult discourse.

                    No, no - you’re the bigot. Try and keep up. Also, I have no idea why you decided this was how you wanted to spend your life but I didn’t reply to you, you replied to me. This is the argument clinic, for adult discourse see next door.
