      The GOP is in control of the House, Senate, Presidency, Cabinet, and Supreme Court. If the U.S. government can’t pass a Healthcare bill through, it’s on the GOP.

      I don’t think any meaningful healthcare legislation is gonna pass until Democrats retake congress.

      Can’t wait to watch that knucklehead Karoline Leavitt try and spin this, and blame the Democrats for rising health care costs

      Kindly fuck off with that nonsense. Millions of people depend on them. The average person does not understand what an HSA is and will either never use it or be severely underfunded by it if they do.

      They have been trying to pass health care legislation in this country since 1994. Golly that sentence is depressing to type out.

      >The Senate Thursday failed to pass competing plans to prevent a sharp rise in costs for people who get their health insurance through the Affordable Care Act when subsidies expire at the end of the year. The Democratic proposal to extend the subsidies for three years and a Republican alternative each drew a bare majority of 51 votes, but 60 votes were needed to advance under the Senate’s filibuster rule. A handful of Republicans voted for both plans.

      It did pass, but it didn’t pass the Mitch filibuster

      If there was any time to nuke the filibuster its now!

      >Starbucks pays more for health insurance than coffee beans; most American car companies pay more for health insurance than they do for steel.

      Great, Senate back at it with the usual: let’s deny Americans basic needs while we break for a fancy lunch. 🙄

      Dems 4D chess forces Republicans to own the affordability and insurance issue. While still hurting a lot of people in the shutdown. End of the day…Schumer did exactly what the party wanted to do. Republicans are going to get demolished in the midterms.

    14. LordHarkonen on

      Man, it was totally worth ending the government shutdown for the promise of that ACA vote, right?

      This was a terrible bill anyways…basically a health savings plan and junk insurance policy…so, you know, you can get interest and tax breaks on your money before you give it all to the insurance company for your enormous annual deductible and huge copays…

      There isn’t anyone in the Republican Party who wants to extend the affordable care act…even if the senators passed it, the house wouldn’t, and if both chambers passed it, the president wouldn’t sign it….

      The GOP healthcare plan is simple—don’t get sick, and if you do, die quickly.

      They are so going to own this at the midterms….

      So a family of 4 will go from a $900 monthly Healthcare Premium to over $4,000 a month. Plus Deductible and Copays. No biggie to Republicans.

      They genuinely must want lots of Americans to die – and they will.

      This is killing us. My parents previously had a ppo gold plan at $1,600/mo but they have to move to a bronze plan that costs $2,200/mo for the two of them.

      What the fuck. How are people meant to do this

    21. dufusmembrane on

      the GOPs entire agenda is to make americans sicker, dumber, and poorer

    22. TouchNo3122 on

      Who are our taxes working for? BILLIONAIRES. We need to tax billionaires to extinction. Money is called currency for a reason; it’s supposed to flow.

    23. KermitMadMan on

      this will slow down the economy, right?

      then add in student loans, price increases on goods due to tariffs…

      2026 is going to be a wild ride.

    24. HellionPeri on

      GOP wants to extend ACA with nation wide abortion bans… oh goody, more women & infants dying for their asinine, pinheaded superstitions.

    25. TheAardsnark on

      Oh lookie, we actually got that cute little promised Senate votey that was sufficient to make Chucky cave! And it put enough pressure on the GOP that they conceded and offered a reasonable subsidy compromise!

      Just kidding. Rates are skyrocketing anyway more people will die. As intended by the Republicans. Good looking out, Dems!

    27. DingerSinger2016 on

      Damn, I guess the GOP needs more time and we shouldn’t rush them in their *checks notes* **FIFTEEN YEAR** search for a healthcare plan.
