6. It could pass in the Senate. It is a complete mess now.

Let's say the bill does become law, then what do they do? We are already into the new year. Do we reopen the enrollment? Do we send rebates to the people who signed up and already paid 1 or 2 months at the higher prices?

This is so stupid. We are talking $120 billion dollars, which is a tiny fraction of the tax cuts given to billionaires. Elon Musk's net worth has already gone up $350 Bn in 2025. Bezos has gone up $25Bn. Ellison has gone up $50 Bn.

Don't tell me America can't afford $120 Bn to provide health care to 20 million people.
