I wonder if the average person has any idea how badly things are going to fall off a cliff once Nov 2026 elections pass.

And whether they realize how much they're going to bear the brunt of it.

Guess the Credits are no longer valuable as an Epstein Distraction to keep the Gov closed, eh?

Was this ever in doubt?

Are we expecting the subsidies to remain at the expiring levels?

Someone has been reading Trump his Polls; making nice with Mamdani? Giving in to Zelenskyy? Slapping Republicans around with the ACA Credits?

He could get impeached! (again)

Trump finally introduces his healthcare plan! Turns out it is just Obamacare.

Mistake IMO. When my wife's company health plan had an increase in their employees' monthly payments the govt did not ante up money to offset that, so why are the taxpayers on the hook to cover increases for the users of the Unaffordable Care Act???

Fact is, like most things the dems come up with, obamacare is a failure.

"until after the midterms"

Flashing red WARNING signs from Donald Trump, a compulsive liar, written all over that!

Trump is just trying to stop the blue wave from taking over the House and Senate majority. By making this one little concession, he's counting on voters have short memories when they vote in the midterms.

Trump doesn't have a benevolent bone in his body. If he gets away with this two-year extension, he'll try to drop the hammer on the ACA faster than you can blink an eye.

Remember, Trump is extremely jealous of Barack Obama (signature legislation, Nobel Prize, warm, loving family, etc.) and is on a hate-filled diabolical mission to erase Obama's name from history.

Trump cannot tolerate anybody who is better than himself.

Now that it's been mentioned, Trump can't even tolerate anyone who is taller than himself. (Remember the lifts in his shoes and his out-of-control half-gallop town the exit ramp.

Trump is the epitome of insecurity.

Was based on a Republican program, which Republicans backed, until Democrats made it happen.
