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.

So glad we gave him everything he wanted so now we have no leverage at all. Another masterful play by Chuck Schumer.

He's been promising the greatest health care plan of all time for a decade, only to admit to "concepts of a plan," an obvious lie, when pressured during a debate.
He's a LIAR. There has never been, and never will be, a MAGA Health Care plan. The health insurance companies have paid handsomely for this precise outcome, and Trump will honor that bribe.

The Trump administration is working really hard to prove Luigi right
Republican voters hate Obamacare, but dont want anyone messing with the ACA.
This is 100% real, I have talked to several of these MAGA idiots.
It really makes you wonder if he would have considered extending it if they had offered to simply rename it Trump care

I know many/most of you are aware of how bad this is, but I'm still gonna bitch here.
I lost my job as a result of the Trump administration's policies. While I had other options for health insurance (ex: COBRA), getting an ACA plan made the most sense to me at the time. It was shittier in comparison to what I had at my job (and what I would have retained access to via COBRA), but mostly comparable in the easy to measure ways (i.e. out of pocket costs and coverage of necessary meds) and cost much less than COBRA even without considering those tax credits / subsidies.
Honestly, it was so much work just to figure out which plan made the most sense, I had no idea I needed to check to see if there was a ticking time bomb ready to go off. The new 2026 rates are so much higher with poorer coverage and higher out of pocket expense -- worse in pretty much every way you could think. While I may still opt for one of the low tier plans that's basically catastrophic only + the minimum required coverage, at that price point and for what it provides, I'm sure a lot of people will go without even if they technically could afford the premiums. I know I'm still weighing my options, but it does feel like they took my job then took my access to health care, what next?

Tim Kaine and crew, how's that feeling for you!

"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.
Glad democrats screwed government workers for a record length to achieve absolutely nothing.

Cool send me the check. Must be like 30,000 per person
Americans clearly need to touch the stove and get burned before they understand what they've unleashed. It's regrettable but saving them from the consequences of their political decisions might be worse in the long term. We're at this horrendous point where things will have to get worse before they have a chance of getting better.
