Johnson Admits That Shutdown Is About ACA Premiums

[Lisa558]

Yeah.

Why should poor people live?

The poor people are on Medicaid. We are talking about Obamacare subsidies.

 

[Lesh]

The poor people are on Medicaid. We are talking about Obamacare subsidies.

Who do you think needs subsidies to afford healthcare?

Obamacare subsidies: The federal government paying for people's health care
Democrats -want- people to be dependent on the federal government for their health care.
No wonder the GOP is giving them the finger.

 

[martybegan]

Oh, that makes sense. You guys couldn't figure out a better alternative to ACA because you were just waiting for the "right time".

Right.

Or the proper priority.

Trying to get COVID era subsidies after COVID during a continuing resolution isn't the right time for it, Dems should know that.

Same as their pathetic attempts to hide money for illegals in their demands as well, and their deflection by saying "fuh fuh fuh, it's not part of ACA. fuh fuh fuh" or ignoring those given bullshit temp statuses by Biden and Obama are still here illegally.

 

[martybegan]

Who do you think needs subsidies to afford healthcare?

People who's votes need to be bought by democrats?

 

[Nostra]

Why don't the Repubs come to the bargaining table in good faith now? A compromise on subsidies opens the government back up.

CRs are not for additional spending, Stupid. They are to fund programs already approved.

I gave you link asshole.

The liar is you

You link had zero facts, just estimates.

AI Overview

If enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium tax credits expire, CBO and other analyses project that premiums could more than double on average in 2026.

Now that your misconception has been cleared up do you feel differently? Or is tens of thousands of people not being able to afford healthcare insurance a desirable result for you?

They can't afford it now.....
What's the difference?

Mike Johnson slams Obamacare funds as a 'boondoggle' as shutdown drags on

Johnson also addressed conservative calls to repeal Obamacare, whose enhanced tax credits form the main dispute between the two parties that led to the funding impasse.

So the lies that it’s about anything else can stop

Letting the subsidies expire would cause a DOUBLING of premiums

You on the left told us all that the ACA would lower healthcare costs, Lesh! So why are you now demanding more money to make it "affordable"?

Congress has done next to nothing in the last decade. The reason they haven't come up with a better plan is that they don't have one.

You fuckers broke Congress to the point that you're begging for authoritarianism. It's pretty messed up.

So what you’re saying is that Obamacare saddled us with such an unaffordable insurance scheme, we have to DOUBLE the subsidies in order for middle-class people to- who previously HAD insurance before Ocare - to be able to afford it?

What a disaster Obama created.

 

[Mac-7]

I was wrong

It would MORE than double ACA healthcare premiums

ACA Marketplace Premium Payments Would More than Double on Average Next Year if Enhanced Premium Tax Credits Expire | KFF

KFF estimates that, if Congress does not extend the enhanced premium tax credits, ACA Marketplace enrollees on average would see their premium payments more than double in 2026, growing by 114%, from an average of $888 in 2025 to $1,904 in 2026.

You want me to pay for your obamacare premiums?

We’re not even acquainted, much less related

 

[Billiejeens]

It was better before Obamacare. Less insurance fraud, less medical fraud, less welfare fraud, less illegal aliens, less bureaucracy and less taxes, just for starters.

We had the best medical care in the world prior to the ACA..

The ACA destroyed that, by design.

Dems want it to fail, Republicans don't have the spine to do anything.

What we need are better Republicans and we are working on that.

Congress broke itself, ****-tard.

Xiden and the Dems set the expiration date of the big insurance bailouts in the "inflation act" - Johnson didn't vote for it.

but yes, we know that bailing out big insurance along with giving illegals tax payer healthcare is why the Dems are shutting the govt down. This isn't news.

Dems have been pretty open to negotiating legislation with Republicans.

But your psychotic MAGA base refuses to allow any negotiation and compromise.

Your psychotic MAGA base will vote out anyone who even attempts it.

Your psychotic MAGA base doesn't want Congress to do anything. You're happy to just let Trump do whatever he wants.

Bullshit. "Our way or the highway" is the Dem/Prog Mantra. They can do this during the actual budget negotiations.

A CR isn't the place for this.

Yes we will.

Congress can pass universal concealed carry, permanent reductions to the federal bureaucracy, removal of any temp statuses to illegals, and I would be cheering them on.

We won the last election, dippy, live with it.

All for negotiating, but you got to open the Govt first. Schumer and the Dems refuse to do that....so no legislation can get done.
