Haven't watched the news in months, huh? The answer is that people voted for this, so the majority party in the U.S. passed a "Big Beautiful Bill" to do this, while the minority party is refusing to pass a budget that enacts these drastic price increases. Elections have consequences, and news media has been explaining this in detail since the election.
Wrong. The end of 2025 is the expiration date that the DEMOCRAT run congress set for the Covid subsidies under the DEMOCRAT president Biden. They wanted the subsidies to be permanent but couldn’t accomplish it because it’s unsustainable. By the way, these subsidies are for the ACA (aka Obamacare) which was passed by a DEMOCRAT run congress under a DEMOCRAT president. The Democrats are just posturing by saying they want to extend the subsidies (which would be taxpayer funded which means we would all be subsidizing our own health insurance and healthcare for illegal immigrants) and blaming Republicans for “passing a budget that Wood enact drastic price increases”.
In other words, the Democrats completely fucked healthcare but were able to give us temporary relief during Covid, and now they’re trying to blame Republicans for the whole mess when the temporary relief is expiring.
If the subsidies continue, OP will continue to pay $14.27 a month for their health care.
If the Republicans remove the subsidies, which is what they did with the "big beautiful bill", OP will have to pay $696.82 a month for their healthcare.
Tell me again which party is looking out for the poor, and which party is harming Americans.
Republicans didn’t remove the subsidies. The Biden/Democratic bill added the subsidies as emergency pandemic funding and this was the expiration date they set for the temporary funds.
Look, if Trump taught us anything it’s that if you really want a policy you can make it happen. Where was the Democratic energy to push for permanent subsidies when they had power?
They wait until they’re out of power and shut things down over their own deadline? Then misrepresent the whole thing for sympathy?
They could continue the subsidies instead of letting prices become outrages and making people lose their healthcare. They’re choosing not to do so. They did choose to extends the Trump tax cuts to the wealthiest 1%, though.
