After teasing a plan by President Donald Trump to extend Affordable Care Act premium subsidies—currently on track to end within weeks—the White House has indefinitely delayed the announcement under pressure from congressional Republicans, MS NOW reported on Monday.
The last-minute change of plan signals the GOP’s priorities: the party has fought to cut or repeal the ACA since it entered law in 2010, and was uncompromising in opposing the subsidies during the record-breaking government shutdown that ended earlier in November.
The last thing Republican elected officials want to see, the Center for American Progress’ Bobby Kagan posted on social media Monday, is a deal that protects ACA subsidies.
“That’s why they didn’t extend them in OBBBA, and that’s why they kept calling them a ‘December problem’ even though open enrollment began on November 1,” Kagan, the group’s senior director for federal budget policy, wrote.
When you’re so senile that you lose track of your own machinations and almost wrap back around to being sensible.
He might be the only sane Republican in this case. Romney Care isn’t the socialized healthcare Americans like to pretend it is, its entire purpose is to give just enough relief to pacify revolution.
It goes away, people might just revolt when they can’t afford healthcare OR food. Obamacare (Romney Care) is a republican plan, don’t forget that.
They obviously don’t intend to “win” an election ever again. Medicaid and Medicare gets cut? Then republicans are toast in a free and fair election. It’s kind of scary that they don’t care about how this looks.
His power is waning.
Him being a puppet is showing it seems. His mind is gone, whoever he talks to tells him something and he follows that until the next person says different.
Not in the shriveled hearts and tiny minds of his base, unfortunately. And Republicans are scared shitless of them.
Bullshit he only wants to do whatever the last person told him to do. He was against them don’t let the media get away with this Bullshit.
If I don’t like any news related to Trump, should I downvote, or is there a way to mute the keyword on mbin?
