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.
Those are usually on Medicare. Medicaid is for the poors. So it’s just different people getting told to fuck off and die already.
That’s actually not true medicade covers 63% of people in nursing homes. Nursing homes are not paid for by Medicare. I know this because I had a parent that lost all their assets in 2008 and got to the point they needed nursing care and medicade is extremely difficult unless you have connections to get approved for for nursing care.

There are always exceptions which is why I said “usually”.
