Speaker Johnson makes a new pitch to downplay importance of expiring ACA subsidies. Up to 24 million consumers will soon struggle to afford coverage — “just” a “small subset” of people, in his estimate. With House members heading home until the new year, the developments practically guarantee that Republicans will allow the current insurance subsidies under the Affordable Care Act to expire at midnight on Dec. 31.

OKAY, where to begin?
Just 24 million Americans who will have sticker shock and will have to prioritize their health care, food, and shelter, no biggie here because none of those 24 million people happen to be MAGA Mike Johnson or his family. Just a small subset, insists MAGA Mike, no need to worry about them, it’s Christmas time, so be happy and just tell them, “Merry Christmas!”
The Republicans in Congress have no personal worries about the increase in health subsidies; they pay a minimal amount for their coverage, and those stupid taxpayers, who say, “kiss me, I love to be kissed when I am fucked,” pay the rest, as Alfred E. Neuman of MAD MAGAZINE said, “why me worry!”
And of course, the Congress has no time to give a shit, because, damn it, it is VACATION TIME for them, it is Christmas Vacation to be exact, and family time is so vital for the Congress, their families, of course, not yours or mine!
Here we go again, MAGA Mike, the self-declared “GOOD Christian, demonstrating his own version of Christianity!
