Senate rejects extension of health care subsidies as costs are set to rise for millions of Americans - Lemmy.World

And there it is. The promised ‘vote on subsidies in december’ that the 6 dems cancelled the shutdown for. We all new what the outcome would be.

I feel for all those whose insurance premium is about to become unaffordable

Imagine if the government was still shut down and we still didn’t have these subsidies.
I would approve. The government shutdown was serving my interests.
Sound like all my Republican friends.
You’re either lost or misinterpreted the comment, or don’t understand what the shutdown was about.
Nah, my Republican friends are selfish and would say something like “it serves my best interest” so we should keep doing that.

You’re turned around here bro, we all wanted the shutdown to continue so we could continue to have affordable healthcare, we wanted it for everyone, the wording above is throwing you because it’s one person saying that the shutdown was something that could have benefitted them, but it’s not a matter of selfishness, it’s literally a broad, life-saving program. (The ACA tax subsidies.)

If you were against the shuttdown… well it must be nice to afford premium healthcare or be on someone else’s policy.

You’re turned around here bro, we all wanted

You must be turned around cause that’s not the words the user wrote. If it was, I wouldn’t have written my comment.

You’re being deliberately obtuse then. Participating in bad faith, just looking for someone to call “republican” to stir up drama. This is why you’re getting downvoted by like… everyone. You’re coming across as deliberately being an ass. In case you’re wondering. I won’t see your reply.

I think you’re making significantly more out of my comment than what was actually said. I responded to a guy saying “me me me” with “you sound like a different group of people that also say me me me”. Any deeper meaning you are giving to that comment is on you.

As for downvotes, I clearly don’t care. Lemmy users tend to be wildly unrealistic when it comes to what democrats should do. I’m fine with getting downvoted for going against the grain. Somebody has to or this echo chamber will spiral out of control.
