House Republican leaders ditch vote on ACA funding, all but ensuring premiums will rise

[C_Clayton_Jones]

“It's official: House Speaker Mike Johnson says he won't call a vote to extend enhanced subsidies under the Affordable Care Act, effectively guaranteeing they will expire at the end of this month.

That means higher insurance premiums will go into effect for millions of Americans who get coverage through Obamacare next year.

The speaker made the announcement Tuesday after a closed-door Republican caucus meeting, saying that leadership failed to reach a deal with centrist members to bring up an ACA amendment on a health care bill set for a vote on Wednesday.”

Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said Republicans worked on the issue throughout the weekend but could not come to an agreement with a group of members who want the funds extended.

Death by Republican negligence.

This is about the right’s unwarranted opposition to the ACA.

This has to do with Republicans’ long ongoing efforts to destroy the ACA – unable to repeal the Act, Republicans seek to cripple the ACA by ending access to affordable healthcare.

The right’s meritless contempt for the ACA has nothing to do with its provisions and everything to do with the president who signed the Act into law.

Actually, if we look at real history, the subsidies were put in place by democrats as a TEMPORARY stopgap measure to deal with Covid and were set to expire when the Covid crisis was past. In case one didn't notice, the Covid crisis is past. It is now past and what the democrats created is coming to pass. Naturally, that means they will try to blame Republicans for the anticipated and expected results of what they themselves built.

But hey, don't let actual events get in the way of a good rant.

Sounds like the Affordable Care Act isn't so affordable. Who knew...

 

[SassyIrishLass]

We tried to tell you it'd be a disaster and here we are

Newsflash, moron. The ACA hasn't provided AFFORDABLE care for at least five years. If it had, the taxpayer wouldn't have had to subsidize it. Take your BS down the road. Let the ACA die a slow painful death---we've read the bill and we KNOW what's in it and its not good.

Your insurance premium is going to be less than your cell phone bill!!!!

ACA is a failed system. Why throw good money after bad? It was sold as a lie. Obama lied. He should be held accountable.

My insurance premium covers only me while my cell phone bill covers 4 people and is STILL cheaper.

So millionaires wont have waitresses and Amazon warehouse workers paying for their healthcare insurance?

Have you asked you masters why they voted to end the subsidies on the 31st. Do they want to kill Obamacare? Do they hate Americans? Do they want babies and seniors to die?

Before ACA my husband's firm paid 100% of associate's healthcare premiums, after? They're paying through the nose with high deductibles and it keeps increasing.

It has everything to do with not wanting to fund a shitty, corrupt system anymore.

My first full time job was the Army and my next was UPS, which pays the whole premium. We had three babies under UPS and only paid a $100 deductible for each.

I really got sticker shock when I got a job outside of those two organizations. Like nearly everyone, my premiums and deductible skyrocketed, once the affordable care act was implemented.

I know. The firm tried to keep it down but it's impossible.

Basically the working class paying for deadbeats

My contempt has far less to do with the POTUS who signed it than the very concept of the legislation itself. The government has no legitimate place involving itself either the healthcare industry. Certainly not telling insurers what they must cover or forcing private citizens to purchase policies they do not want.
