Obama’s chief of staff Rahm Emanuel
berated progressive groups for planning to pressure Dem lawmakers to continue supporting an #AffordableCareAct that included a public option. Soon after, the public option was removed.

Don’t ever pretend Obama fought for a public option.

Fact-checking Democratic ACA subsidies talking points

COVID-19 era subsidies of the ACA will expire at the end of this year, leading to higher prices. A KFF poll found that Republicans make up 45% of adults who purchase their own insurance, mostly through the ACA marketplaces.

As Senate Dems Cave, House Democrats Seek to Force Vote on ACA Credits

Democrats in the House of Representatives say they will seek a discharge petition to restore expired tax credits for people on the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) insurance exchanges after the measure was excluded from the bill to fund the federal government that passed earlier this week.

Here is a thing referred to in one of my earlier posts. The MAGA-Seven Democrats sold out the effort to preserve Affordable Care Act funds for a mere shadow.

"Disruptions to food aid and air travel were among the pressure points that prompted eight Democratic senators to join Republicans in voting to end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history."
-- The Christian Science Monitor

It's hard to say who buys this but I certainly don't. It seems to me the MAGA-Seven Democrats who voted to reopen the federal government are spineless weasels and terribly foolish: - people who wanted to cave anyway and finally found an excuse. John Fetterman and Catherine Cortez Masto, in particular, are serious problems for the Democratic Party.

It took practically no time for Johnson in the House to say he's not sure he will bring ACA subsidies to a vote and for Thune in the Senate to say he wants a vote on ACA subsidies to be tied to abortion restrictions.

The "deal" was NOT a true deal and Democrats who voted for it were gullible to put it as kindly as possible. The current field of Capitol Hill Republicans is not to be trusted.

#Schumer walked straight into this, eyes wide open

"NEWS: #Senate #Republicans are threatening to block the extension of #AffordableCareAct subsidies—unless #Democrats agree to tougher #Abortion restrictions."

Has #ChuckSchumer every played politics with the #GOP before?

You know: Chuck's beloved "colleagues across the aisle"?

At all?

Ever?
