@kurtsh one thing that's probably misleading about #Obamacare stats is that the same plans are often available direct from the insurance company with a slightly lower cost, but with no subsidies.
That would mean anyone like me who can run numbers and wouldn't qualify for subsidies, are most likely going to buy our plans off the exchange. We're not counted when they tally up the beneficiaries of the law, but should be. Being self employed, I wouldn't be able to buy the plan I have without the presence of the subsidized version that's on the exchange.
Just when Trump voters got #healthcare, #Trump effectively took it away.
☑️ 88% of the national enrollment increase since 2020 came from Trump‑won states. Enrollment there grew 157%, compared to 36% in states won by the Democrat.

What's crazy is the vast majority of #Obamacare subscribers voted for #Trump.
And Trump is making their payments increase by 75%.
☑️ 77% of 2025 Obamacare enrollees lived in Trump‑won states. About 80% of all premium tax credits flowed to residents of those same states.

"Millions of middle-class Americans who have ACA health plans are facing soaring premium payments in 2026, without help from the enhanced subsidies that Congress failed to renew. Some are contemplating big life changes to deal with new rates that kicked in on Jan. 1.

Millions of middle-class Americans who have Affordable Care Act marketplace plans are facing soaring premium payments in 2026. Some people are contemplating big life changes to deal with new rates that kicked in on Jan. 1.
The senate gave billions to #ICE and blocked withholding funds for #Venezuela military action AND refuses to fund basic healthcare for Americans 🤬🤬🤬
Senate #ACA funding talks fizzle as higher premiums for millions take effect for 2026
“Senate negotiations aimed at striking a bipartisan deal to revive expired funds under the Affordable Care Act — or #Obamacare — have fizzled, according to senators involved and sources with knowledge of the discussions.”
"No one else has the rigorous transparency in process that the USPSTF has. They are very clear and transparent in how they gather the evidence, how they grade the evidence, what was actually included, and how they are deliberating. Other organizations may do that, but they do not do it as consistently ... which is why the ACA is pegged to them and not to each individual society."

"More Texans have signed up for health insurance through the Affordable Care Act marketplace compared to last year — despite the expiration of federal subsidies to lower the costs of premiums...But health care experts caution that the preliminary figures show an incomplete picture of how many people ultimately maintain coverage once they receive a premium bill."
