A majority of Trump supporters back extending Obamacare subsidies, poll finds
Most of President Donald Trump’s supporters back keeping enhanced subsidies for Affordable Care Act plans, the central obstacle in ending the government shutdown, according to a new poll from the nonpartisan health policy research group KFF. It was conducted Sept. 23 through Sept. 29, just days before Congress failed to pass a funding measure to keep the government open.
More than 22 million people receive the subsidies, which are set to expire at the end of the year unless Congress extends them. Losing the subsidies could mean that average out-of-pocket premium payments could double in 2026, from $888 a year to $1,904, an earlier KFF analysis found.

What a surprise, the people most in need of Obamacare subsidies voted against it.

Of course they do. Assholes. They originally opposed Obamacare with fury because they believed it was intended to help Black people. Killing it was the very top of their agenda.
Now that they finally have bothered to learn what it actually is, they like it.
This country is fucked.

The Affordable Care Act should be completely off-limits to MAGAts. Let them rot in hell.

Of course they are. The price of eggs is nothing compared to the increases facing healthcare.

Of course they back it, but if they lose the subsidies and their insurance costs go through the roof they'd still vote for Trump.
That's what these breathless stories ALWAYS leave out - how STUPID MAGAs are.

Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are also socialism. Not too many people complaining about that...

Let it the fuck burn.
The problem is if the Dems cave without a subsidy deal, the GOP will just blame the Dems when the prices go up

This is who MAGA kills the ACA, not by repealing it, but by gutting the federal government's financial subsidies, and using the funds to pay for the big tax breaks given to the top 1%,

Dems should let Dump light it on fire, then Blue states should withhold submitting taxes and develop their own universal healthcare plans.

This poll and several others have emboldened our once ball-less Democratic leadership into raging bulls. The fascist traitors in Congress (republicans) are getting bombarded with calls from their districts and states demanding the subsidies remain.
I predict the Repubs will cave on the ACA subsidies and leave them in place but will end up just making some cosmetic cuts to medicaid and then go on TV and pretend like they won.
But pretend winning is all they will be doing from now on.

A study was done where people were given a summary of the coverage on the exchange. One list was titled Obama Care, the other the Affordable Health Care Act....both lists identical. Republicans overwhelmingly picked AHCA over ObamaCare even thought they were identical. Democrats want competent and capable representation that will benefit all Americans. Repugs just hate brown and black people and want to win. There is no explaining anything to them -indisputable evidence just completely washes over them and there's no hope. They are being lead by their hateful hearts.

If the Dems want to stop these cuts they need to make sure Mike Johnson and his crew have an exit ramp. Ultimatums might sound great on the news networks, but they will have to lower the volume if they want to win .

This was Trump's concept of a plan that they voted for. No surprise.
