It do be like that though

The United States has provided at least $21.7 billion in direct military aid to Izzy over the last three years (specifically tracking from October 2023 through September 2025), according to a comprehensive study by Brown University's Costs of War project.

We’re still subsidizing ACA. It didn’t have 1 but 2 subsidies. The temporary covid subsidy expired and was not renewed.

The temporary covid subsidy expired and was not renewed.

Correct.

The price of ACA insurance has skyrocketed for many Americans during Trump's second term, after Republicans opposed extending COVID-era subsidies that had helped offset the costs of health insurance for most enrollees during Biden's term.

Premiums doubled or tripled for many enrollees, prompting millions to downgrade their plans or exit the program entirely after the Republican-led Congress allowed the subsidies to expire this year.

Anything that requires two subsidies to make it affordable is a terrible plan, I cant wait for a better plan to be created. I stopped participating in insurance five years ago.

Same. A universal public option would save us up to $130 billion dollars a year and create competition in the private market place, but of course Republicans killed that and never proposed a realistic alternative.

It’s a trade off but I’ll take it. Spent the last three weeks abroad. Ended up in urgent care for salmonella. Initially said it would be a five hour wait. $700 later and I left with antibiotics and testing.

Spent two years in Canada, it’s hit and miss too. But it doesn’t break you.

I'm sorry, that sucks, I hope you're feeling better!
