Expires after today. Now grifters and illegals will have to pay the same insane premiums as non-grifters.

Good. 15 years of reparations is more than enough. Maybe the rinos will actually move their asses this time.

The Fed doesn’t subsidize my premium so frick them. Pay for your own stuff.

Not so fast my friend. It might get revived with in the month of January.

Just step back from the trees and look at the forrest.
Premiums have gone through the roof for all health insurance, the feds are paying the premiums on 22 million Americans who have some outrageous deductible so really no insurance at all.
Care has declined overall.
WTF are these 100s of billions of dollars going?????? Can anyone in congress explain that?
There should be no negotiating, it is a farce, cut it all out. And fix the medicare caid fiasco as well.

Most of the people affected by this are early-retired people. People who retired before being eligible for Medicare. Somehow the American taxpayer was paying a large part of these people’s premiums.
If you retire in your 50’s that’s great. I plan on doing that myself, but the taxpayers should not work so you can travel and golf. You must pay your own way.

I know. It’s just wish casting. After they got away with brazenly not making most of the DOGE cuts, they probably feel bulletproof.

Anyone who thinks it won't get extended is lying to himself.
A deal will be announced in the last hour before the deadline.

This isn’t true at all. Most of ACA enrollees are people that have the government paying mostly for their existence all in some form. Early retirees as you suggest will opt to continue carrying their previous coverage as long as they can to keep the regiment of doctors who they see. Also if you protected yourself enough to retire before either mandatory of reaching 66 then I’m pretty damn certain you aren’t worried about a premium going up. I chose to keep my existing Blue Cross coverage instead of Medicare/ Medicaid which I have never used anyway recently rejecting the 202.00 month part B charge. 2400.00 a year while emergency rooms are giving Jose or Leticia free healthcare kind of pisses me off a little. While nothing is guaranteed in life I would rather use what I know than the worry of what doctors may be available in the event I need them

They lack the will or morals to do this. Since I have recently been corrected about my incorrect use of political nomenclature, I will leave this question. What is it called when those who have the power to vote themselves raises, tax citizens and then give that money to others who have not earned it and do not deserve it?
I understand the concept of mercy, but transferring wealth with political impunity is gutless thievery.

The vast majority of politicians are knee deep in all of these scams. They're fearful of their own sorry azzes being exposed.

Never give up hope....the spineless GOP still has 30 more days to hose over the taxpayers. Have to stop the ACA rates from doubling while the rest of the country deals with initial tripling (or more) and annual raises ever since they 'deemed' this horseshite as passed.

I thought this didn’t sound right, so I checked it….
‘The main beneficiaries of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) are low-to-middle-income individuals, people with pre-existing conditions, young adults, and minority groups, “
Sounds like you may be one of the “Boomers ruined my life” crowd.

Serious question...How do premiums prices get railed in though?
That is what Trump's message should be starting Jan1, but we don't seem to have a good plan. A few years back, my dad, uncles, etc thought it was cute when I told them my insurance details, and thought it was "good". Essentially got "that's cute, remember when those deductible #s were considered the super cheap catastrophic insurance amounts?? Heck deductibles were less and premiums cheaper "
That is what Trump needs to remind people of. And not some long arse paragraph free truth post but a couple short quick targeted sentences.

Most of these people worked 100k+ jobs and saved aggressively. They are too rich to qualify for the subsidies.
Unless of course you're talking about the Mr. Money Mustache types that "retire" to live off of $30k a year but really work hard homesteading/couponing etc. They're probably gaming the system to a degree not as blatantly as playing golf & traveling on taxpayer dimes.

Seriously, I have really good insurance, so while this might not affect my rates as much as others, we are still going to be the ones paying for it.

& the Republican healthcare plan is…?

COBRA is 18 months. You can carry your previous coverage to 65 and Medicare if you retire in your 50s and you can’t get a policy for a small business unless at least 3 employees are making minimum wage. So I don’t think your assumption is feasible.
Biggest issue for early retirees is where to get insurance and these exchanges are one of the few options. And 50+ year old men have high premiums.
