re: Trump to announce extension of ACA tax credits for two years

"Complete BS"'

Nope, why would you think it's BS, most people like and appreciate the subsidies. And GOP states and voters are among the most pro subsidy because they don't to lose their hospitals in places like rural Kentucky.

Since when did Obamacare provide “free healthcare”? You’re just imagining things…

Trump kicking the can down the road. Going on almost ten years now without any plan for a better alternative to Obamacare.

74 percent of Americans want to see the subsidies extended


Complete BS

The shift by the posters here explaining every Trump move is wild. A month ago it was keep it shut down, this is socialism. Now they are defending the extension. Incredible.

This. It's all about control. People actually think we have someone in our corner fighting for us.

Trump isn't our guy.

Trump to announce extension of ACA tax credits for two years

That's going to be a bummer if they just phase this out for anyone that it would actually help.

More hysteria. Most Democrats do not want “wide open borders”

Progressives do, and they are the mouthpiece of the Dem party now.

Liberals are extinct.

MAGA needs to be careful. They might hurt themselves with all these gymnastics.

I think too many people think that where this board is on an issue is "what most Republicans think" on an issue. Oftentimes this board is far more extreme than most voters, even GOP voters. Not always. but often enough.

Republicans face a health care backlash in Georgia as subsidies set to expire. Rocketing health care costs are fast becoming the new affordability frontier in next year’s midterms.

Republicans across the country are in a bind of President Donald Trump’s making: After voting to end the 43-day federal shutdown, they have yet to articulate a plan to tackle the upcoming spike in health care premiums. That conundrum is coming into sharp relief in Georgia, a state with an especially high reliance on the Affordable Care Act, where Republicans have one of their best opportunities to pick up a Senate seat as they fight to maintain their grip on Congress.

As the Republican leadership trifecta in Washington scrambles to address that imminent spike in premiums for millions of Americans, health care costs are emerging as a new flashpoint in next year’s midterm elections. Polling shows staunch nationwide support for the Affordable Care Act, with 64 percent of Americans holding a positive view of the policy, according to a September survey conducted by the health policy organization KFF. That includes two-thirds support among independent voters, who will be crucial for either party’s success next year. And in Georgia, where nearly 15 percent of the population is enrolled in marketplace health insurance, Republicans stand to bear the brunt of voters’ ire if their party fails to offset those looming price hikes.

“This is how I see it: Republicans are right on the policy and in a bind on the politics,” said Brian Robinson, a Republican strategist who served as a senior aide to former Gov. Nathan Deal. “They’re right in the policy in the sense that (the Affordable Care Act) is unaffordable in the long term. We do have to find the fix, and the fix is going to have some downside.”

None of the three Republican hopefuls running in what will be one of the most competitive Senate races in the country next year have meaningfully addressed how to mitigate the jolt in costs. Like most Republicans, the two Georgia candidates holding House seats — Mike Collins and Buddy Carter — voted to end the shutdown without addressing the looming expiration in subsidies. And the third candidate, former football coach Derek Dooley, has yet to take a position on how he would approach legislating a solution.

In written statements, all three derided what they described as a broken health care system while declining to address how they would fix the immediate rise in costs.
