Here’s the part I don’t understand.
In 2025, approximately 22 million Americans received subsidies through the Affordable Care Act Marketplace to help pay for their health insurance. That’s millions of working Americans who depend on these subsidies to afford coverage.
So who exactly is this statement supposed to appeal to? A significant number of Trump’s own constituents rely on healthcare.gov to purchase their health insurance. Without those subsidies, many of them are going to face the same financial reality I would.
Without my subsidy, my health insurance would cost approximately $1,800 a month. That’s $21,600 a year just to have health insurance, before paying a single dollar in deductibles or copays.
That’s absolute insanity.

when the enhanced subsidies ended thanks to schumer, i think millions had to drop the ACA. plus recently OZ made medicaid only available if you work certain amount of hours a month, including snap.
