I doubt a very many Republican voters, if any, get this subsidy.

And I would bet a disproportionate number of Trump voters actually do get this subsidy

When healthcare and healthcare insurance costs five to ten times what it would in a free market, why would you assume anyone eligible wouldn't be receiving subsidies?

This notion that people are getting subsidies or Medicaid because they are lazy or want handouts is an idiotic premise.

Doesn’t matter if they do.

Utilization rates are down for a reason.

You may have the insurance, but can you afford to use it?

Subsidies won’t fix that.

Only scrapping Obamacare and getting government the hell out of it will.

Wrong. Small business owners get the subsidies in huge numbers. Obamacare destroyed the market, leaving small business owners limited options. GOP is going to get crushed unless they extend for one year and come up with a fix.

I wouldn’t doubt it at all.

There are 24 Million or so people on Obamacare, and about 93% receive some sort of subsidy... or about 7-8% of the population have an Obamacare plan, and nearly all of them get some sort of subsidy. It’s beyond foolish to believe none of those people are on Obamacare or other government assistance.

People who think Republicans are only folks who don’t take or need assistance is idiotic to its core.

I don’t know the exact numbers, but in tight races you better believe a few hundred votes matter.

With only the slimmest of majorities, and control of the white house, the Democrats should be sitting pretty to handily take back the house. We will see what happens, the democrat brand is in the toilet which hurts them, but Trump isn’t on the ballot which hurts Republicans.

November is a while away, but if the Democrats don’t take back the house next fall, its hart to see how anyone could argue they are a viable national party at that point.
