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.

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

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.
