Affordable Care Act insurance premiums are set to rise sharply next year if Congress doesn't intervene. That's because enhanced subsidies that have reduced costs for millions of enrollees in health plans purchased through the ACA marketplace in recent years are set to expire after 2025.

No sympathy for you. You could have voted for a decent conservative yet allowed a traitor to the United States of America run again on the Republican ticket. Shame on you.

-No sympathy for you.

people who signed up for obamacare deserve some sort of special pain?

and you're denying them sympathy?

Is it possible the real reason is that you have no sympathy to give anyway?

I don't withhold sympathy to people based on who I think they voted for.

WTF kind of condition is that?

If there is one cent available then it belongs in a billionaite's pocket not wasted on healthcare for a working class family who will definitely not be able to afford it if the numbers in rhat article are even close to correct. If they are then Republicans say goodbye to your House majoeity for a very long time!

The headline should really say "subsidy ending" instead of premium increase

The Unaffordable Care Act is a wealth transfer program from the treasury to insurance companies and then to Democrat politicians.

"It's uncertain whether Republicans will extend them later this month in a bill to keep the government funded."

No it's not uncertain. Reoublicans aren't going to do anything to keep the ACA going, not only because it is part of Obama's legacy, but also because every penny wasted on healthcare for the working class could be another pennt a billionaire could cram into his pocket. If working class people wanted healthcare they should have been born into billionaire families! Othwise "F**kem! And this time it will be an awfully painful thing for millions of families. I do hope it wakes more Americans up to the cold hard fact: Republicans don't give a F**K about average working Americans! They work for the billionaires; so F**K everyone else! And that is absolutely how our Congress and Senate Republicans actually do think regatdless of the balogna they feed us when speaking in public! Billionaires have purchased the entire Republican Party whether or not if you want to believe it! Democrats aren't perfect but they are not as thoroughly sold out as Republicanpoliticians.

The US spent 4.9 trillion on health-care 2023, you don't think the billionaires got a big piece of that?

Health insurance is a scam.

Republicans are morons.

They'd rather pay for CEO yachts than universal healthcare.

All because of racism and stupidity.
