How worried are R's about the ACA premium hike backlash? This worried.

What's the correct way to fund Govt?

When I hear the phrase tax credit, I think of lowering my taxable income....which I am always a fan of

I'm a bigger fan of eliminating taxable income for the people.

The correct way is the way we were doing it prior ot the 16th Amendment.

We still collected taxes,

And sure I’m all for eliminating income tax. We should tax consumption not production

If you don't want the GOP to mention trannies, tell them to stop taking opportunities from girl and women athletes, stop going into the wrong bathrooms/shower rooms, and stop pushing the ideology on confused children.

After Doctor Rene Richards and before the woke movement started targetting children, trannies were a rarely mentioned joke among Republicans.

I think real trannies are going into the right bathrooms.

As for trannies competing. I'll give you that one. Maybe in gym class I'd let the little tranny swim with the girls but not in competition. Sorry John you have a weiner you have to compete with the boys.

What's the difference between a "real trannie" and some other kind of trannie?

Agreed.

What's a "real trannie?" Who decides if they are "real" or not?

I am glad that Trump and the GOP are in power to fix the Obama and Dem problem

The issue isn’t whether Republicans are worried or not – the problem is that Republicans don’t care about millions of Americans losing access to affordable healthcare.

Such is the reprehensible right.

I try to remind myself and others that there is always some truth to what the other side is saying. We forget that. The growing gap between rich and poor. Immigration. Wages. Healthcare reform. Taxes. Regulations.

I was going to say the gays have pushed too far or asked for too much too fast. Too in your face. But the truth is, it's the GOP who keeps mentioning trannies in bathrooms and swimming with girls in college sports. Such a small segment of our population to demonize. But it works. Or at least it did. When the economy is good we can vote on such things. Or who'd you rather drink a beer with. But when the guy you'd rather drink a beer with has doubled the price of beer...

Yep. The only issue on the table is "AFFORDABILITY".
When families are struggling to keep up with price increases there are no other issues.

Never mind that total inflation under Biden raised prices 23%, or that families lost $11,400 in buying power, it the next grocery bill that matters. Trump putting tariffs on food items was dumb, but they are coming off soon.

VA and NJ, and now NYC, are showing both parties that affordability is key to political power.
The bad news for Republicans is that beef prices haven't peaked yet. Summer of 2026 will have beef prices of around $10/#.

I'd say democrats have a good shot at the mid-terms by just promising lower prices.

Obviously that's not true, hence why they are working on making it more affordable and fixing the mess created by Obama, Xiden and the demafascist who just bailed out their buddies in big insurance.

I am 1000% behind never sending insurance companies any healthcare money from the taxpayer.

So for Medicare for all?

of customers can send their own money to their own insurance companies.

The problem is, Trump and the GOP won't fix it either.

Trying to do so would be a real change in strategy after trying to sabotage it from its inception. But since they have no alternative plan why not give improving the ACA a try for the sake of the country?

 

[SassyIrishLass]

The "R's" told you idiots the piece of crap ACA wasn't sustainable when it was forced onto the people

Typical Dems, trying to pass the blame

They are, they have already in many ways, such as stopping the punishment for individuals that don't want insurance or can't afford it.

Tariffs have be shown to be an epic failure. We live in very different times now with global trade playing a huge role.

White House to pitch a Trump Obamacare extension with limits​

The White House expects to soon unveil a health policy framework that includes a two-year extension of Obamacare subsidies due to expire at the end of next month and new limits on eligibility, according to three people granted anonymity to discuss the unannounced plans.

The proposal would mark President Donald Trump’s foray into Capitol Hill negotiations over how to address health care premium spikes set to hit Affordable Care Act enrollees if Congress lets the premium subsidies expire.

A White House official declined to confirm the details of the plan, saying, “Until President Trump makes an announcement himself, any reporting about the administration’s healthcare positions is mere speculation.” MS NOW first reported news of Trump’s intent to announce a new health care framework as soon as Monday to address spikes in ACA insurance premiums.

As part of a deal to reopen the government earlier this month, Senate Republicans agreed to give Democrats a vote on the ACA tax credits in December. But GOP lawmakers across the Capitol have been divided over how to respond to the subsidy deadline, leaving many eager for Trump to reveal his preferences. Hard-line conservatives have been pushing to let the subsidies expire while moderate Republicans have been pressing for an extension. Some Republicans are angling for a health care overhaul to replace the credits.

Don is nothing if not unpredictable so you never know what he will or won't do until he does it. But I think it's fair to say that while many on the board were doing a happy dance over the idea of R's "winning" the shutdown, meaning unaffordable healthcare for millions, R congressmen were not as sanguine. With everything else that's going against R's heading towards the midterms it would appear defending the position of "people on ACA plans can go screw themselves" is one they'd rather not be put in a position of having to do.

Notice how the potentially proposed two year extension gets them past the election?

So he is going to give us back Obamacare and he's talking about sending us all $2000 checks because we are all paying $2500 more because of tariffs.

Seems like Trump has made things worse and now he's trying to put things back to the way they were. Before he fucked up.

Try to stay on topic which is Obozocare is such a failure and keeps costing American taxpayers billions.

How have they been a failure? We have racked in tons of money and even lowered xiden’s deficit for the year, as well as keep inflation in check and in some countries, used then to work out better trade terms

Trump sets a fire to imports and the ACA and then wants credit for throwing some water on those fires. Does he think his supporters are brain dead idiots? Yes. He does. And he is right.
