As affordability concerns mount, Hill Republicans are struggling to act

You can pay for your own healthcare and not depend on taxpayers to do it for you

I do. It makes me far less likely to use "healthcare".

‘Republicans want to put the economy at the center of their midterm message as they seek to protect their majorities in Congress. But as cost-of-living concerns mount across the political spectrum, the GOP is struggling to act decisively to address them. Already top Republicans acknowledge they haven’t done enough to sell the “one big, beautiful bill,” the party-line centerpiece of their economic agenda they enacted over the summer. Now internal divisions and the need for bipartisan support in the Senate are threatening any attempt to follow up on it.

The GOP is struggling to coalesce behind a health care plan that would prevent Obamacare premium hikes set to kick in next month and efforts to rein in President Donald Trump’s tariffs have run aground in the House. Meanwhile, the administration’s proposal to distribute $2,000 rebate checks has gotten a lukewarm response on Capitol Hill and the fate of other smaller bills to address things like housing prices and student debt have sparked intraparty sparring.’

Republicans are struggling to act because they fundamentally don’t care, they’re too busy lying about ‘the economy’ being President Biden’s fault.

Republicans are struggling to act because they have no plan, no solutions, just the same failed, wrongheaded conservative fiscal dogma – which in essence is to do nothing at all.

And Republicans are struggling to act on health care because they have no plan – again, because they don’t care about Americans having no access to affordable healthcare.

Indeed, there’s already a plan in place: the ACA, Republicans need only support and fund the Act.

Under Trump middle class wages have increased and when tax cuts kick in pay will increase as withholdings are less. Inflation slowing and interest rates have had 2 cuts. Gas is under 3.00 dollars. The middle class is far better off under Trump than Biden who crushed their spending power.
Affordability was destroyed under Biden and is much better under Trump.

The solution is the same when Reagan fixed the Carter economic disaster. Tax and regulation cuts less government and the middle class has more money. Government spending and policies are the problem. Democrats suck all the wealth into the government
