GOP lawmakers are deeply divided over whether to extend the enhanced Affordable Care Act premium subsidies, but millions of Republicans enrolled in Obamacare plans have a clear message for them — don’t let the beefed-up subsidies lapse.
Some 72% of Republican enrollees — and the same share of MAGA supporters with Obamacare coverage — favor extending the more generous assistance, which is set to lapse at year’s end, according to a new poll from KFF, a nonpartisan health policy research group. The same is true of 95% of Democratic enrollees and 84% of independents.
The Senate is expected to vote as early as next week on the fate of ACA, as part of a deal Democrats cut to reopen the government. But Republicans haven’t been able to agree on their own plan to put on the floor, and the White House recently withdrew a proposal to extend the subsidies amid GOP opposition.


It’s not even just a lack of empathy at this point, they’ve been actively demonizing empathy for years now.
