We must stop tinkering around the edges of a broken healthcare system. Yes, let's extend the ACA tax credits to prevent a huge spike in healthcare costs for millions. Then, let's finally create a system that puts your health over corporate profits. We need Medicare for All.

It's called single payer and as long as profits drive health care it will never happen. The medical industry will turn heaven and earth to protect their profits. We are the only first world country without it. Both our costs as well as our poor record of health care are a direct result of for profit health care.

"He said his party was working with the White House to reduce this burden by "giving money back to the American people to purchase their own health insurance at an affordable cost"."

It was doing just fine until Trump needed money for his Big Beautiful Bill that needed funds from somewhere and the Repubs agreed to rob Medicare to fund the tax breaks for the rich. They now realize it's costing them their political future. That and Trump's tariffs have pretty much put the economy into a K shaped one. While the rich have been holding up the economy for now, that won't continue because the bottom end of the K are the ones that keep the economy afloat; it's a matter of numbers and the population as a whole spends far more than the fewer rich.

You can witness a politician jumping through hoops when their future is threatened and there is no one to blame for this medical disaster of costs except for the republican party that took no suggestions from the Democrats and rammed Trump's bill through. Giving money back isn't going to help, it will not even be pennies on the dollar in help and the people still have to buy their insurance from the same places.
