Everybody under 250K will get clobbered.

the same thing as the Affordable Care Act.

truly crazy for most people to vote for them

They wanted to get rid of Obamacare not ACA.

Terrifying that the uneducated Maga masses are allowed to vote. We don't need an ID to prove citizenship...we need an IQ test.

There was a question posted on twitter (yes, I know everyone hates twit) the question was should we be teaching Arabic numbers in schools. The responses were hell no! They should be banned from schools! Etc...

According to the National Literacy Institute:

"On average, 79% of U.S. adults nationwide are literate in 2024.

21% of adults in the US are illiterate in 2024.

54% of adults have a literacy below a 6th-grade level (20% are below 5th-grade level)".

Guess that answers a lot of questions.

Those numbers are terrifying. Thanks for posting the stats, pazzyznne.

I wouldn't worry about the extensions running out. Better be finding a new John McCain quickly.

should give the people what was voted for. You vote republican, you get a republican. Voters should get what republicans promised they would do. That what happens when people vote from ignorance and pettiness to hurt other people.

are getting exactly what they voted for.

Hope they love owning the libs.

Because I'm self-employed, if the Trumpzis kill the tax credit, my insurance premiums go from $322.62 a month to $1,409.62 a month. That's almost $17,000 a year, plus copays, and a deductible.

When I tell that to people I know who are on Medicare, or get their insurance through their work, they think I'm wildly exaggerating those numbers just for dramatic effect.

Wait until disaster strikes them and their health insurance doesn't cover something . You can tell them they're exaggerating for dramatic effect and walk away.

I've seen similar incidents over the years. There is no sympathy/empathy from people like that. But, boy, will they want a sympathetic ear from you when karma catches up to them.

involved in the ACA. BTW...wonder what the Health Insurance industrial complex thinks about Trump, Eloon and shrimp boat Vivek wanting to kill the ACA? They know damn good and well they will NOT be getting $1300-$1500 out of the majority of the 47 million that are on the ACA.

They stand to lose billions of $$$ per year in revenue.

Losing ACA health insurance coverage will add to the horrendous numbers below. I guess all MAGAts are wealthy and bullet-proof like Superman-- good for them.

"245,000 deaths in the US in the year 2000 were attributable to low levels of education, 176,000 to racial segregation, 162,000 to low social support, 133,000 to individual-level poverty, 119,000 to income inequality, and 39,000 to area-level poverty. 
Overall, 4.5% of US deaths were found to be attributable to poverty.... risks associated with both poverty and low education were higher for individuals aged 25 to 64 than for those 65 or older."

And the US averages 48,000 gun deaths per year.

Remember back when they screamed the Democrats were the death panel? They have always called us this, knowing full well that it's THEM that are the DEATH PANEL!!!

10 years ago, just before Trash became 45.... and that is:

A DEATH CULT.

Maybe pearl clutching, Kumbaya, and MAGA Sympathizer Dems will not be so butt hurt now... I doubt it but whatever.

They are a DEATH CULT. Really they have been this since Reagan's intentional evil and negligence regarding the HIV pandemic.

If they nationalize a law against abortion, etc etc etc, I simply do not care anymore. For the last 40 some years I have fought for women’s rights, workers rights, civil rights, , etc., and in the most consequential election of most of our lifetimes, the people pissed it away.

So good luck getting those rights back.

FAFO, and they sure will find out with a SC that we have lost for a generation.

The only thing I will continue to do is vote Democratic, but nothing else.

Srsly

Congressional Democrats have privately proposed a deal to Republicans that would extend expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies by one year, with lawmakers worried by new estimates that 2.2 million people will otherwise lose health coverage, according to five people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the proposal.

The move accompanied a broader package of health-care proposals submitted to Republicans on Thursday night ahead of year-end spending negotiations.

Lawmakers are fiercely hammering out a bill to fund the government, and health-care leaders are pushing to add priorities to one of the final pieces of legislation this Congress. Negotiations are also occurring on other measures, such as more funding for community health centers, proposals to address bipartisan frustrations about pharmacy benefit managers and other extensions of ongoing health-care programs, four of the people said.

A one-year deal to extend the expiring ACA subsidies would avoid what was expected to be a bruising battle for both parties. Democrats, who crafted the subsidies and have fought to defend them, are set to lose control of the Senate and the White House next year, complicating their ability to make policy. Republicans, who are set to gain control of Washington, are wary of being punished by voters for any perception that they are rolling back health-care coverage, with the backlash to their ACA repeal efforts still fresh in many lawmakers’ minds.

They just want money and power and damn everyone else.

We need (since it *is* The Season)
a hell of a lot more Scrooge-like Conversions!

Though, I suppose that miracle isn't happening. 😔

wait until millions of them lose health care next year. It will not be pretty.

MAGA whining as the leopard eats their face.

I already knew that since we can discuss politics after my anti-tRump, hand made earrings were complimented by him, his staff, his patients, the parking attendants, etc. I get a lot of feedback when I wear my earrings and I use them to purposely let people know where I stand. I made them in 2016 and stopped when Covid mask straps got caught in the earrings but after 3 years I wore them outside again (they broke but I made a new pair and they are even better than the originals).

Living in very "blue" CA is a big plus these days. We all hate tRump. I told him I need a Xanax the size of a football to get me through until the inauguration. I was serious. When I told him about my health insur ending once tRump is in office and all my subsidies will go away and I won't be able to afford it he couldn't reassure me that I was wrong. He knows what tRump means for his profession and he is not happy about it. We ended my appointment laughing at Kennedy being the health expert in 2025. The future is very, very grim for me. I am a realist.

she made a crack about RFK Jr but it was kind of like, in despair

just a guess

This has been going on since the Reagan Revolution. Obamacare helped to stabilize the situation, but it will proceed on steroids now. And no, most rural voters didn't blame Reagan then, and they won't blame Trump now. They are like turtles on a fence post. They don't know where they are, they don't know how they got there, and if someone doesn't help them they will just die where they are.

It is what they are working to have happen ... F*CK them all sideways

Dumb and dumber.
