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.
People bipartisianly support universal healthcare, most Hill Democrats don’t. Why do democrats keep voting against the interests of their constituents?
Bipartisan and above mandate level of support for legalization of Marijuana too and yet the last president we had fired every aide he had that came out and supported it. If you voted either of the main parties you almost certainly voted against at least a few of your own interests.
