#Democrats could end the #shutdown today, if only they would allow #Republicans to strip a few million #Americans of #healthcare and raise #premiums on millions more, and cut #taxes for the uber #wealthy, all the while keeping the #Epstein Files secret.
Shame on them for not capitulating!
"#Americans shopping for 2026 #Obamacare #HealthInsurance plans are facing a more than doubling of monthly premiums on average and are likely to postpone signing up in hopes of a last-minute reprieve, or walk away, #health experts say."
Do you know what happens when the people walk away? Some will likely die of preventable disease--blood on YOUR hands, #GOP! But also, #premiums will go EVEN FARTHER UP for those who remain! And with #Trump's #tariff #inflation ravaging American's wallets already, what are people to do?

Millions Face Soaring Health Insurance Premiums If ACA Subsidies Aren’t Extended
Health insurance premiums are expected to more than double for some 20 million people unless Congress acts.#American friends: how do you feel about 42 million of your fellow citizens going #hungry? And that it's going to happen because the #GOP wants to raise #insurance #premiums on working people so badly? Does it worry you that a #billionaire is willing to pay your #military to occupy your streets, but not to feed the hungry? Is this the behavior or a "1st world nation?"
Do you not care, as long as the "right" people are starved?
Is that how a "good" person would feel?

The short answer: Sometimes. But not often. And it may require a little — or a lot — of homework."

"The prospect of young people dropping out of the ACA markets worries health policy experts — not just because of their own personal risk of going uninsured, but because of the effect that millions of people making the same decision could have on the whole health system."
