ObamaCare aka Affordable Care Act Subsidies Expire Soon

[ProfD]

In 2 weeks, over 20 million Americans will lose the benefits that allow them to have affordable health insurance if it expires. 

 

Many folks living in red states will be affected if the subsidies disappear beginning 2026.

 

Sometimes, things have to break in order for people to feel the pain and/or full ramifications of losing it.

 

I'm slightly curious to see how those MAGA folks who benefit from ObamaCare will feel about their leader when they can no longer get a tooth pulled or take their kids to see a pediatrician. 

 

The funniest or saddest part depending on your worldview is that wealthy people make the decisions that keep people poor.

While my policy quintupled in price I was able to find another policy that was actually less than what I was previously paying. Now I’m not sure it’s gonna be any good but I can use the doctors I’ve been using so we’ll see. I live in a red state, Florida.
 

I can’t see 20 million people losing benefits at least from from my experience at healthcare.org

I hope you're right. We'll find out soon enough.

As more recently reported by the U.S. Treasury Department...

"Yes, approximately 7 percent of Americans use the government-run Obamacare insurance marketplace, which provides health insurance coverage through the Affordable Care Act. This means that while it significantly impacts those individuals, the majority of the population is not directly affected by it."

It appears more than obvious that "MAGA" may be living rent-free in a lot of people's heads.

Losing benefits that they should have never been entitled to nor collected or depended on in the first place. Obamacare was a fraudulent healthcare scheme from its very inception.

Only 7 percent use Obamacare?
I find that VERY hard to believe.

That would mean that the other 93% of Americans are either on Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance.
Perhaps a majority may be....but not 93%.
