Come the #midterms what happens if people vote •for• #socialism?

"The loss of subsidies has already forced tough choices. Some people have raided their savings or downgraded their coverage — or dropped #healthinsurance entirely."

@DeniseG because… audacity hope change yes-we-can Obama Biden sold US out, didn't fight for public option, never mind single-payer #MedicareForAll 😡; "starter home" #Obamacare was great gift to health insurance mafia extortionists 😡
ACA architect, former Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin, told The Hill that Democrats should have enacted a single-payer healthcare system or a public option; Dems "…had a huge majority in the House… 60 votes in the Senate… and we blew it…" #M4A

@nat Did you ever notice that from 1980 on, the Democrats started playing SOLELY defense? Everything became about giving them more money to keep Americans from LOSING rights to the Republicans. They never tried to make a positive change for the working class after that.

In fact, the DNC did everything they could to *block* Medicare for all, even though that was a meek compromise on what people really wanted: a national health care system.

If the Democrats had created a national health care system instead of ObamaCare, which was nothing more than a a vast giveaway to the health insurance industry, they'd have earned the love and devotion of the voting public for generations. The oligarchs couldn't allow that; voters would start expecting even more. So the DNC did everything to destroy any chance of ANY positive gain for American workers.

They sold us out. They sold out our children. Denied millions of us basic health care, killing millions of us. For money.

There's no greater evil in the world than that.

"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."

“A working, middle-aged mother doesn't have the time to add 6 more hours of work to each day. She faces a dilemma: either pay someone else to do the caregiving or limit her hours at her job, fail to advance at her job, or simply quit her job and do it herself. triggering lost wages and lost health insurance as she suffers the physical and mental health effects of caregiving.”

“ The ACA prevents this. Assuming she lives in a state that has adopted a state-run insurance exchange, it allows her to obtain health care for herself that she might otherwise be unable to afford.“

"This Medicaid “gap” is expected to cause uninsured rates to jump, at the high end of the spectrum, by as much as 65% in Mississippi and by 50% in South Carolina, according to the Urban Institute."

Real people. Hard-working people.

Not the narrative the right wants to push that only lazy people or those who have made bad choices don't have health insurance within their reach.

#DonTheCon told reporters after his #insane #Davos speech that he/we "have concepts of a deal" with #Greenland.

You know. The same way he had "concepts of a healthcare plan to replace #ObamaCare" during his 2024 debate.

@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.

Jetzt heulen die #trump Wähler weil sie merken das #obamacare - das sie so hassen - ihnen medizinische Versorgung bezahlbar ermöglichte. Nun da es abgeschafft wird, bekommen sie weder Medizin, noch ärztliche Behandlung wie bisher. Viele von ihnen haben nun sogar Todesangst, weil auch lebenswichtige Versorgung mit Medikamenten nicht mehr bezahlbar ist. Wer kein Geld hat, muss sehen wo er bleibt. Ich verstehe wirklich nicht warum es heutzutage Leute gibt, die den Ast absägen auf dem sie sitzen🙈🙉🙊

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.”
