Affordable Care Act is something Nancy had rolled up and stored in a certain place for many years until moron Obama came along and dug it out ,LOL
The “Affordable” Care Act was purportedly to make insurance and medicine cheaper because of socialist magic unicorns.
When the magic didn’t happen, the costs exploded.
So instead of repealing the monstrosity, they want to add subsidies in order to make the Unaffordable Care Act more “affordable”.
And like happens with college tuitions, the funding will just make the costs increase even faster.
Why is it that I don’t trust the numbers by KFF?
What needs to happen is to abolish obamacare but that has zero chance of happening.
She also does not mention that the policies not only have unaffordable premiums but that most can’t afford the deductible. Five years ago the premium and deductible were enough to pay for two of our first houses back in 1980.
For almost all but the subsidized indigent population affordalbe care is NOT.
She won’t be in Congress when it’s fixed either.

If they had real jobs they would get their insurance through their employers instead of the government.
Affordable Care Act
It was passed in the middle of the night, on a straight party line and not a single member of Congress had read it.
So why in Heaven's Name are you feckless Republicans NOT ADVANCING LEGISLATION TO REPEAL Barry's and Nancy's and Chuckie's abomination? You have a President who WILL sign such legislation ...
Is that what you're afraid of? Actually doing something, instead of bitching, whining, and complaining?
Obamacare screwed me out of thousands of dollars. First, I was in business for myself and was able to have health insurance written through my business. Obamacare forced me to include healthcare as income and because of my advanced age, the increase in “income” also threw me into a higher tax bracket. Second, the “increase” in income had me paying the IRS significantly more. In three years the “Magic Negro” cost me over $100K in income that I had prepared to apply to my retirement.
Soley written and crafted to benefit insurers and bureaucrats. Less treatment, more cost, more bureaucratic approvals and authorizations required.
Here’s my question...Why were the subsidies not “forever” to start with??
Mtg is the AoC of the right .
$888 annual premium equals a paltry $74/month. $1904 annual premium is $158.67/month.
I was one of the unfortunate suckers subsidizing everyone else for their inexpensive health insurance. My monthly premiums were over $1200/monthly, with a $6700 deductible. In 10 years, that complete ripoff paid for one flu shot. Nothing else. Deep six this disaster.
“I was not in Congress before I got all this Middle East money”
They never intended for Obamacare to work. They expected it to fail and allow them to blame the insurance company. That debacle would have paved the way for single-payer.
Then... they botched the rollout. They made it clear to everyone that the problem wasn’t the insurance companies, it was them. They had to scramble and spend $½ billion just to get the website working.
We’ve been stuck with this obamanation ever since.
end the subsidies and the majority will be screaming for complete repeal almost instantly!
What a traitous bitch. This will be her last term
