"The subsidies had also boosted tribal health insurance programs, like the one Bighorn is enrolled in. The programs pay the price of each person’s share of premiums after subsidies, and the coverage lowers patients’ treatment costs. Now that premium prices have ballooned, so have tribes’ costs."

Sometimes I think I might be too blunt. Am I too blunt? I'm pretty sure I have been recently. What on earth might cause me to be more blunt than usual?

I issued an urgent warning back in December that the initial 2026 #ACA enrollment data would likely make enrollment this year (now that the enhanced tax credits have expired) look FAR rosier than it will actually turn out to be:

Dear Senator / Representative --
I've seen the continued reports out of the DHS detention facilities. I've seen the continued videos of DHS in Minnesota and the behavior of DHS officers in Portland and Los Angeles.
If any senior official of this Republican Administration was serious about reforming ICE, they would have ordered a full stand-down of all activity for retraining. They have not. Most of them won't publicly say that DHS officers are doing anything wrong.
Voting to fund DHS is giving DHS explicit permission to continue what they are doing -- beating, dragging, shooting, and murdering bystanders, tear-gassing children, deliberately freezing people, and then lying about all of it.
DHS's cruelty isn't one or two events by outliers. This cruelty is systemic. This cruelty is the point.
Do not give my tax dollars to fund this cruelty.
How many more people will be subjected to this cruelty before you stand up and say no? Please ask all of your colleagues this question.
Then please remember the promises this Republican Administration made about the ACA and healthcare. This Republican Administration lied about fixing healthcare for ordinary Americans.
They are lying again when they tell you they will reform DHS.
They won't -- unless you deny DHS a budget.
"For the analysis, researchers with the Oregon Health and Science University and Johns Hopkins University compared physician enrollment files to Medicaid administrative claims from 2019 to 2021.
They found that between 68% and 89% of doctors depending on specialty were enrolled in Medicaid in 2021. But nearly 28% delivered zero care to Medicaid beneficiaries that year, according to the study."

"Health costs are a top concern for Americans. Two-thirds of the public say they are somewhat or very worried about affording health care, more than express the same worries about utilities, food, housing, or gas, according to a January poll from KFF, a health information nonprofit that includes KFF Health News....Here are five ways that the uninsured can find affordable care."

"Despite a contentious back-and-forth and the longest government shutdown in history last fall, the GOP-led Congress allowed enhanced ACA subsidies, which had helped millions of Americans cover all or part of their marketplace premiums since 2021, to expire on Dec. 31. With the loss of the subsidies and health care costs already surging, more middle-income people face tough decisions about their health coverage this year."

Still angry about the #Democrats caving during the last #shutdown, and not managing to get the #ACA subsidies (and caving in 2010, so we need to be subsidizing the profits of private companies for people to get healthcare).
