Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Friday, November 07, 2025

With the tax credits set to expire at the end of this year, many policyholders are learning the ACA, commonly referred to as Obamacare, will no longer be affordable unless Congress intervenes.

Nothing like a Gatsby party for your uber rich friends at Mar-A-Lago while millions of your neighbors get priced out of health insurance. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social, @warren.senate.gov and I just touched down in Florida because while Trump won't fight for his neighbors, we will.

The GOP doesn't care.

They are starving children and families to force the democrats into taking away health insurance from the middle class.

This is all out of Project 2025 which ALL OF THEM LIED WHEN THEY SAID THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT.

Then they downplay the ass kicking they got on Tuesday. From local elections to school boards to state elections to governorships to mayoral races trumpism became toxic.

Every single member of Klanned Karenhood running for school boards in PA lost.

The 10 month reign of fascism has awoken the voters.

"Assault a law enforcement officer, and you'll be prosecuted," Pirro (and Bondi) said. What they neglected to mention is that after the prosecution, if the president decides he approves of the motivation of those who committed the assault, they'll be shielded from any consequences for their actions.

Like the J6 insurrectionists.

They assaulted the Capitol police with pepper spray flagpoles and shields and anything they could scrounge up.

Trumpy pardoned them.

A citizen throws a sandwich at Trumpy's ICEholes and Trumpy's minions get unhinged and try (unsuccessfully) to prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law and (successfully) destroy his livelihood(so he can no longer afford to fight back) .

Welcome to Trumplandia and the Great FAFO.

My only question is when does Trump declare Marshall Law?

Because it's not going to stay peaceful for long.

I have been saying this Corky, but only now you guys listen. Inflation isn't "transitory" like Snoofy said 3-4years ago.

Its real and will continue until the government stops printing money, which means it has to stop spending. What you are asking is for the country to keep spending, and thus creating more DEBT. In the next thread you'll complain about Trumps $38Trillion in debt.

Americans have no idea what they are advocating, I suspect they are just economically illiterate given the ability to print USD has hidden them from reality..

ACA is a failure.

It requires more and more money to prop it up.

Time for a change.

Necessity is the mother of invention.

Perhaps if dems had fixed it instead of propping it up, we wouldn't be in the situation we are today.

Let it collapse under its own weight and let Trump fix it.

1) LOL. Trump and the GOP have no interest in fixing it.

2) Letting it collapse means the loss of lives.

3) Why not agree to the year extension and let both Parties work on fixing it? Because...

4) Trump and the GOP have no interest in providing health care.

#10 Let the Trump fix it?

In 2020 he told Chris Wallace that a full and complete health care plan will be released in "2 weeks"

That was 5+ years ago.

How many more "2 weeks" must Americans endure?

You fascists have this attitude towards human suffering: you're all for it.

Go ahead and protest that statement. But the next time an issue of want or poverty comes up...

You'll justify the want and poverty.

Zed,

If the GOP fails to deliver, the next election dems will likely control Congress and the White House.

That would be their chance.

That's about the best they can hope for if Trump fails.

#15 The GOPyers have had OVER A DECADE to produce an alternative to the ACA.

Not a single plan, or even a concept of a plan, has ever been introduced by them that entire time.

I'd say THAT counts as failure to deliver.

" ACA is a failure. It requires more and more money to prop it up."

Everyone who has ever worked on this problem in good faith has concluded a mandate is the only way it can survive.

Then Republicans eliminated the mandate.

This is TRUMPCARE.

Frankly, I think dems already squandered their opportunity and the GOP deserves a chance to do something.

They have a plan! No worries. It will be ready anytime now!

Anytime!

"We're going to produce phenomenal health care. And we already have the concept of the plan. And it'll be much better health care," Trump told George Stephanopoulos.

"Yeah, we'll be announcing that in two months, maybe less."

Mandate without cost controls would end up right back where we are.

Case in point. Bill isn't a Christian because he doesn't follow what Christ said.

So, trillions in tax cuts to the wealthiest among us, but no food or medical care for tens of millions, many "the least of these."

Bill, you're no Christian. Don't know what to call you. "Leviticus?"

I've been saying this about Conservative Christians for at least ten years.

Conservative Christianity is wholesale rejection of the teachings of Jesus Christ.

BillJohnson said in another thread he approves of Trump's reasoning for denying food to the needy. It is an outright repudiation of The Gospel.

#46 Let me throw this idea out there for your consideration:

How about we start taxing the uber-wealthy who have, for the past 40 years, been able to dodge their financial responsibilities that provide them with a country that protects them and their money and their property?

Not to mention the fact that this country has given them, the uber-wealthy, a nation of publicly educated wage-earners who can afford to buy their products/services?

How about that?

Afterall, ingratitude is a Cardinal Sin.
