Healthcare affordability? what a joke

The Senate has yet to do anything about ACA subsidies and Trump has said he might veto anyway.

I lost my job back in January and have multiple healthcare issues.
I need maintenance treatments for lymphoma every three weeks.
So I have to use COBRA until I can get on Medicare next year.
The current ACA subsidies are more than double than COBRA.
