The enhanced subsidies for people who buy their health insurance through exchanges established by the Affordable Care Act have officially expired, and Democratic lawmakers are ready to make sure voters know whom to blame going into the midterm elections.
Politico reported Friday that while Democrats in Congress are still pushing their Republican colleagues to allow a vote on renewing the enhanced subsidies, they have mostly settled on a political strategy of going scorched-earth on the GOP for letting them expire in the first place.
Rep. Ami Bera (D-Calif.) told Politico that Americans who see their monthly premiums skyrocket in the wake of the subsidies’ expiration will take out their anger on the GOP.
Good point, we should certainly vote for candidates who will fight for health care and not back down.
Too early. This is a fight for November. The fight for now is, are you fighting to boost the candidate you like who you CAN support? Or just waiting to see what settles so you can just complain about how it’s not good enough?
Now it’s too early? JFC!
