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.
If you vote based on the name of the party instead of what they offer, you reap what you sow.
Well well well, if it isn’t the consequences of their actions
Stop voting against your own interests then, you fucking idiots.
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.
Republicans who personally benefit from a specific program think it should be funded and Republicans who don’t can’t see why they should care about anyone else. News at 11.
Those same people on ACA wouldn’t want to fund SNAP or Social Security or whatever else unless they personally benefit. It’s a lack of empathy from all involved, and the the disagreement comes from whether or not it affects them personally.
It’s not even just a lack of empathy at this point, they’ve been actively demonizing empathy for years now.
Any Republican voter on ACA can go fuck themselves with a rusty pole. They voted for this an continue to vote for this.
Fox News by itself isn’t enough of an excuse for them being degenerate child raping jack offs (yes even Conservative women are getting in on the child raping action).
This needs to be shouted out loud for everyone in the US to hear.
Want their cake and eat it too.
