  1. If this healthcare premium spikes a good bit, it’ll be a tough midterm for republicans. One that’d be very hard to recover from even after some time.

  2. These politician’s should be on the same health care plan as the people that vote for them.

    Don’t worry, I’m sure Schumer is already working on how to save the mid terms for the Republicans.

  4. It’s ok I’m sure right when it’s about to become politically advantageous a handful of Democrats will magically appear to hand them an easy out. They’ll kick the issue a few months down the road and 20 million more people will lose coverage.

    This is GOP “governance”. This is what you voted for America. Or couldn’t be bothered to vote against. 7 in 10.

    They plan on gaslighting you into believing you’re richer than you used to be.

    Let’s see how well that works.

    Also, it’s really, really unpatriotic for you to say that you’ve noticed actual inflation in your day-to-day spending.

  7. My state-based insurance went from $900 a month to $1700. I noped out for now. Hopefully, a better solution will become available soon.

    Just to remind people of the names of the Senators who voted to end the shutdown in exchange for a “later vote” on healthcare:

    Tim Kaine, Jeanne Shaheen,Maggie Hassan, Catherine Cortez Masto, John Fetterman, Jacky Rosen, Dick Durbin and Angus King.

    This has been a public service message.

  9. I just don’t get how anybody supports Republicans anymore.

    They are quite literally the party of ‘we want you to die rather than get the health care you need’.

  10. The bureaucrats can’t do anything to help struggling Americans, but the great orange pagan Idol/false God Trumpty Dumpty can spend millions of dollars knocking down walls in the White House and paving over the rose garden so he can make much needed improvements like a ballroom shrine to himself.

  11. The showdown is whether we will agree that the prices have gone up or that somehow we all have extra freedom.

  12. If the Republicans were smart, they’d make a minor tweak or two to “Obamacare”, pass it and call it “Trumpcare”. That’s all he’s really after🤷‍♀️

  13. Shutdown looms as Republicans failed to deliver on the promise that ended the last shutdown 

  14. The only reason they caved before was holidays, if it didn’t reopen people would have realized how dysfunctional it really is.

  15. Another shutdown???? We barely got through the last one. You’re telling me there’s another one around the corner? I’m at a loss for words

  16. Let it spike. Dumbass Democrats need to stop making themselves the scapegoat. The GOP will eat itself in its quest for complete subservience to the oligarchy.

  17. My health insurance doubles in January. I was already paying through the roof. What are we doing here!?

  18. “spike”? No, try doubled.

    It’s now $2200 a month for 3 of us. That’s without even using the damn thing.

  19. The premium for the same plan I had for 2025 is increasing by 20%. Food is getting more and more expensive. Auto and home owner insurance keeps going up. Utilities and gas…up.

    Silver (the precious metal) is going through the roof with no real explanation.

    I’m afraid that inflation is going to be VERY bad in 2026.

    “Why didn’t the Democrats warn us this would happen?”

    My BIL just died from cancer. My FIL had  told us he would cover the expense of his new health plan because it would only go up around 50 bucks a month. When I told him it would likely be around 2k a month for his plan he laughed and told me that wasn’t possible. You’ll never guess who he voted for.

    ACA = Obamacare. The rest of Amrita must learn that they are the same thing and act accordingly.

    Note that only Republican administration’s have failed to maintain a functioning government. Fiscal irresponsibility.

  23. Garbage-Striking on

    I know America is pretty uneducated about how the rest of the world operates, but at some point healthcare is going to become the largest issue period as more and more of the Boomers need it.

    The last shut down ended because they “suggested” they’d hold a vote on the Obama care subsides. Considering they decided not to have that vote, I don’t see why another shut down won’t happen.

  24. IWasOnThe18thHole on

    Let it shut down.

    There is no excuse for caving in. They “promised” a “vote” on the subsidies and everyone knew it was bullying. They should’ve let every American traveling for the holidays who voted for this get stranded and see the consequences of their actions.

  25. It is insane that Republicans are scuffling the ACA without any replacement.

    They are perfectly content to just let people die

    If you clowns don’t vote for progressives…. nothing will change with the middle of the road democrats

  27. Vernichtungsschmerz on

    How much are your premiums changing? Mine is 145%. It’s devastating financially and the power the democrats held is gone now. I have no faith in another attempt for holding republicans to account but never actually doing anything
