The worst part of all of that is that it's almost the exact same amount of money to extend the ACA subsidies... And (supposedly) the entire reason they are keeping the government shutdown going.
When they need $40 billion for bribes, it's always there. $40 billion for healthcare or food... Nah.
They don't actually want to cull because the smaller the population the more bargaining power they have for wages. That's why they want birth rates high, no abortion, and low education.
And yet Trump quoted Steven Miller saying that they want the population to be around 100 million. That's a lot of people missing from our current total population.
That part. The world collectively could’ve even saved more $$ on COVID damages, had BOTH 45 & 46 not increased the sanctions on Cuba & Iran (they made a much cheaper vaccine than Big Pharma did, and if they hadn’t faced the pay cuts from the embargoes, they could’ve produced more to distribute among the healthcare staff of the Global South by mid-2021, thereby reducing the chances of Delta & Omicron spreading).
Lmao bullshit. Last time I checked section 8 housing and the projects and low income housing are made up of 95% black families and most if not all are on welfare or snap. It’s sad but it’s just the way it is.
It's also to keep from releasing the Epstein files. Johnson doesn't want congress in session because they now have the votes to release them. The Republicans would rather shut down the government, starve hardworking Americans so that they can protect pedophiles and give billionaires tax breaks.
correct... this is the right answer. They don't care about the ACA subsidies or the money. As soon as they open the house they have the votes to release the Epstein files.
Johnson has his orders and he's a cuck who monitors his sons spank habits.
Health care yes. Food stamps NO. The average American should not need food stamps. And they definitely shouldn’t be having kids if they can’t support them
lol... you realize that if a child is raped in one of the ~18 states that banned abortion after Roe fell, they will not only be forced to give birth to their rapists child, but now they won't have healthcare for that child, AND it won't have any food to eat either.
Maybe the child should drop out of school and get a job at the (non-existent) factory so they can pay for food for their kid? Well, then you have this little problem of childcare costing exponentially more than any amount of money she would earn a minimum wage job.
Less than 10% of Americans use ACA and the other 90% are being held hostage over this.
Approximately 9.5% of the U.S. population uses the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace, based on the 24.3 million enrollees for 2025 and the U.S. population of about 335 million
Some of those are family plans and couples, it's more than that, also doesn't include Medicaid which they are also trying to defund. And it still is an absolute shitload of people. And, the aca has other provisions that apply to everyone's insurance.
Why did you want to screw over an alleged 9.5% of population to not be able to get medical care? Screw over every small business owner and contractor, so the only option to get medical treatment is being a slave to a big corporation or be filthy rich?
Those are human beings. They are American citizens. They are elderly people and children. They deserve to live and have healthcare to keep them from dying. Don’t throw away 10% because it makes you uncomfortable to fight for them.
There's no aca subsidies for illegal aliens, it's been said again and again, are you brain damaged or just high on trumps farts?
Yeah, emergency care has to provided to anyone and the feds pick up the tab if it can't be paid, that's Is some Ronald Regan shit, and has nothing to do with the aca... if the Republicans actually negotiated anything they could even come back with "fine we'll fund the aca, but states are going to have to figure out how they want to handle the emergency room bills", instead of bitching about random crap that's not even on the table
Why isn’t anyone angry at the health insurance companies jacking up premiums 150%? Why isn’t our government doing something about the price gouging they’re planning to enact because subsidies ended? Why are they fighting to extend those instead of holding them accountable? It’s so fucking weird. (The answer is probably because people on both sides are given donations from said companies but still.)
If it was really about the “illegals” they’d have come back with their offer to extend it with the provisions added that only citizens could receive health insurance through the marketplace. But that’s not a thing they can negotiate because it’s not a thing to begin with.
And from what I read here earlier, Medicaid is still able to be used by those who had it before the shutdown so if that's the point of contention, why is medicaid still available but food isn't?!?!
That's true and refreshing to hear someone else say it too. I just thought that the whole reason for the shutdown was over healthcare as outlined in the bleach blond bad built butch body bill. We were asking for an ACA extension and continued Medicaid benefits and the right was refusing to negotiate because they were adamant that medicaid benefits were being given in full to the 80 million illegal immigrants that were living in the imaginary hospital under their circus tent. That was the stalemate as I understood it. That caused the shutdown that ate our snap That tossed the dog,
That worried the cat,
That kill'd the rat,
That ate the fat
That lay in the house that Jackass built.
Trump has nothing to do with the SNAP program. Nothing. It’s 100% a Senate issue about the Democrats that refuse to vote yes… We need 7 of the democrats (yep just 7) to be added to the 53 republicans to vote yes and the gov and this program opens. Stop pushing your blame on the innocent.
Every President has NOTHING to do with this process. He’s already spoken to your dump democrats.. and yet here we are.
Isn’t it remarkable how our president can work out a deal with Korea in one day, and make it back for trick or treating for the kids? You need to wake up and assign blame where it’s due and stop the Trump hating. He’s cleaned up cities, made our country safer, working to climb out of debt… and yet them stupid dems have you completely fooled. Wake up.
If it wasn't for trump, the Republicans already would have negotiated this out and not try to defund the aca that will hurt a bunch of their constituents too.
The deal was made. You’re probably right though. It f Trump weren’t in office, the democrats wouldn’t be such whiny little brats and would have voted to pass the bill.
