in order to screw wage-earning Americans.

Ironically led by a short pig named "Grindr Mike."

You won't find Lil Mike there, but you will find him in "Profiles in Grindr."

Never have and never will.

Not necessarily. Dems are rational. It's not impossible to craft something that garners enough Dem votes to offset Republican defectors.

major poison pills were added, there is no reason Democrats wouldn't support that. In that case, only a handful of Republican votes would be needed to pass. But Johnson has made clear he won't bring it to the floor.

because their constituents want the subsidies continued.

don't know if they could get the signatures, but it would sure be worth the try!

That way we would have a definitive list of who waants to screw the poor royally

harms the middle class. The poorest people will still qualify for Medicaid. Anyone who received the COVID era subsidies will be harmed.

always thought of themselves as basically ok economically. Having to suddenly come up with as much as $1000 a month or more for insurance suddenly upsets whatever economic security they thought they had.

Some are people who retired before 65 without a healthcare benefit from their former employer, some are self employed.

I would bet, especially in a red state, these are not just their constituents, but their trusted supporters. I would hope they are calling them, especially if they are among the people who actually know the representative.

I got it for the "Just in case" scenario. rePUKES are so shortsighted and hateful.

And then, if nothing else, we get to watch thune offer us everything he can think of to pass it without nuking the filibuster on trumps order.

We may as well, if we end up with nothing, that's exactly where we are now.

All while they are forcing women to birth babies. How do you suppose they will clear all these extra people out? RFKjr will probably kill the most with infectious disease.

about the '26 election.

I hate this little Pinocchio Muppet-looking motherf*cker!!

When unicorns fart rainbows.

There is no conservative path for anything that helps the American people.

Become sick, stay sick and not receive medical care.

Many small hospitals will close

Mighty Xtian of MAGA Mike.

NOT!!!

would that magically create ACA subsidies?

#PEDOnald could always order them to accept the 2-year renewal of the ACA subsidies.

The ACA saved me and MAGA's greedy sadists are going to kill me, according to plan.

I told everyone that this was going to happen and they said I "worry too much". They can afford to say that since they have health care not involved with the ACA. Instead of making me feel better they make me feel like shit!!!!! How dare anyone tell me not to worry when I have been on top of this shit since 2012. This is MY LIFE we're talking about....of course I should fucking worry!!!!!

... of my psyche imagine imagine horrible, prolonged punishments in the vilest pits of Hell for twisted creatures like "Moses" Johnson. It staggers the mind to hear him say, "I'm a CHRISTIAN!"
Ummm... no, Mikey, you're not. In fact, you're the furthest thing from a Christian it is possible to be without growing horns and a tail, so howzabout you shut the fuck up.

the rumor has it, that after greene is out, several others are close on her heels

and with the razor sharp margin in the house, it wouldn't take many.

he lets the subsidies expire, he's fucked.

Who votes for these fuckers?

Nor do the gigantic subsidies for already rich companies. Especially now that they are replacing workers with AI.

We were self-employed and when our health insurance premiums reached 3 times our mortgage with a huge deductible, we had to go naked. Still years away from Medicare but not spring chickens, we had several serious medical issues to contend with. We managed to not die or go bankrupt in the interim. I don't understand why they're doing this. It won't win them any votes.

... once observed that it's not how many votes are cast that matters, it's who counts them. And the filthy rich keep close tabs on who those people are, and what they do in the counting room.
Citizens United was one of the most grotesquely corrupt pieces of legislation in American history, and politicians – especially those of the Republican persuasion – loves dem summa dat billionaire pocket change they euphemistically refer to as "Campaign Donations". The welfare of their constituents in just an occasional annoyance they avoid whenever possible.
If there ever was an honest Republican – which I doubt – that species has long since gone the way of the dodo.

It's not "complex" at all, which means it can be effectively communicated to "low information voters."

ACA Subsidies mean that the people who are ON the AFFORDABLE CARE ACT right NOW were able to AFFORD healthcare.

REPUBLICANS have FOUGHT renewing the subsidies.

REPUBLICANS do not WANT to RENEW them for ANY length of time.

IF you are on the ACA and your premiums double or triple, it will be BECAUSE OF REPUBLICANS. The good news, though, is that it made tax cuts for Musk, Bezos, Thiel and Zuckerberg possible.

THERE'S THE MESSAGE.

subsidies. Remember that when they tell you it is the Democrats doing this to you.

Send them Thank You notes for hosing millions.

I would imagine it will pass in the house. Only need 3-4 Rs to pass there

As advertised, the Senate Dems capitulated for absolutely no reason and the insurance lobby wins again.

Yay!
