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

[Greenbeard]

No it hasn't. It's been steady since it's passing. Quit lying.

Trying to imagine how confused you must be as to why “repeal-and-replace” never even came close to happening.

New regulations and mandates. It mandated things like coverage of birthing care for men, which insurance companies then charge you for. They have to. When you MANDATE a company provide you something, you then are at the mercy of that company on price.

I don't think you understand how insurance works.

What is the cost of providing birthing care for men? Zero. Therefore the charge to people is zero.

The cost for providing birthing care for women is not zero, but it seems to me that it is a good thing for insurance to be mandated to cover. You know, because births are a medical expense.

Is your platform that insurance should not be required to cover birthing care for women? Good luck with that.

Why should a young person have to pay for literally any medical care you need?

They are going to get old some day, I'm never going to become a homo seeking a sex change.

Imagine that? A 6 second clip devoid of context might give you a misleading idea of what she meant.

Don't be a dupe.

The Context Behind Nancy Pelosi’s Famous ‘We Have to Pass the Bill’ Quote

On NBC News' Meet the Press Sunday morning, host David Gregory resurrected a favorite right-wing attack on the Affordable Care Act, asking House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to defend her 2010 comment that "we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog...

This was one of the most lame right wing lines.

Wait. I could be missing something but wasn’t the deal ending the shutdown predicated on giving this a vote

And now no vote?

Does that mean Republicans can’t be trusted?

“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.

How are they “destroying” the ACA?

This is the ACA just as Democrats made it.
You’re crying about it now because the true cost isn’t being masked by taxpayer subsidies.

The ACA was always meant to benefit the billionaire healthcare companies, and destroy the middle class.

But like a typical Democrat, you people are totally incapable of accepting responsibility for this atrocious 2009 mandated shit called the “Affordable Healthcare Act”.

No deal was ever made. Schumer folded with nothing . LOL

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

Boomers like Clayton are incapable of holding Democrats responsible for anything.

The Senate did get a vote. Extending the ACA subsidies got 51 votes.

Now the House is going to vote, too.

Bullshit. Republicans promised a vote on the extension and reneged.

Republicans cannot be trusted

This was one of the most lame right wing lines.

So your story now is that they knew exactly what was in this bill and passed it anyway.

So Dems do 100% own the ACA.

Congrats, you own it.

If that were true the GOP would do what it takes to make it affordable

They are doing the opposite

There is nothing to make it “affordable“


Just repeal it.

Correct.

A deal requires offer and acceptance. Schumer never accepted.

Extending the subsidies does just that
