Obamacare premiums are skyrocketing. Republicans can’t figure out what to do. GOP lawmakers knew subsidies were expiring and premiums would spike, but no clear, conservative alternative emerged. Republicans have said for months they had plenty of time to figure out what to do about Obamacare subsidies expiring at year’s end. During a six-week government shutdown that ended last week, they said they’d talk about it after. Now, with five weeks to go before New Year’s, they’re scrambling and divided. (Politico)
The Affordable Care Act and informally as Obamacare, is a landmark U.S. federal statute enacted by the 111th United States Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama on March 23, 2010. (USA Facts)
FIFTEEN YEARS! Yup FIFTEEN YEARS, that is how long the Republican Party has complained about Americans being almost able to afford health care, shouting out loud that making health care affordable for Americans was tantamount to inviting Socialism into this country’s government.
FIFTEEN YEARS, it has been that long for the Republican Party to haggle, harangue, dispute, and deny the facts that health care is a human right, let alone an American right. For FIFTEEN YEARS the Grand Old Party has lied about creating a new plan a better plan for health care, and in those FIFTEEN YEARS, none of the Republicans from then until now have done a fucking thing to create something else.
Once again, the American public has been the loser class for the Republicans. Yeah, even the Republican and MAGA voters are still on the losing end when it comes to a bigger, better, and more American health plan. But remember this, the Congress has a great socialized medical plan, one that they do not have to pay for, and one for which our tax dollars subsidize!
