"The Republican Party has created an entirely avoidable mess for itself. By taking a resolute stand in favor of making healthcare unobtainable for many Americans, and now threatening to starve children to achieve that perverse goal, they have made performative cruelty their political calling card."
Mike Johnson's lies keep getting lost in the facts
The shutdown is exposing the speaker's slimy disingenuousness.

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.
These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are asserting themselves: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs are likely to lose in 2026, and Trump is really unpopular, not a magical exception.
It’s because they know their health care plans are deeply unpopular! That’s why they’re afraid of leaks.
Mike Johnson talks about the Republican "healthcare plan" like it's highly classified information: "We're not gonna be on a conference call explaining all our plans and strategies for healthcare reform, because they're leaked in real time."

South Philly illustrator Jason Piper Berg beat cancer. The ACA’s tax credits made his care possible.

Now Republicans in Congress want to take away those credits—putting millions like him at risk of losing coverage.

“I don't know if I've ever cried opening a letter from an insurance or before, but it happened this time.”

Stacy’s premium this year has been $495.32 for coverage for her and her husband. Without the ACA tax credit in 2026, it will increase to $2,168.68.

Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

Open Enrollment starts today — and millions of Americans are seeing their premiums have doubled or even tripled.

How much is your premium going up? Comment below or upload your notice here ➡️ bit.ly/premiumincreases

I am certainly no seasoned strategist but I am a little skeptical of the political wisdom behind building a giant golden ballroom and sharing a dozen photos of a renovated marble bathroom at the very moment that millions of people are losing access to healthcare and food.

Waiting for someone to explain why the announcement of a trade relationship that is worse than the one we had a year ago is received as a big success
It’s me ⬇️
Starting Saturday, millions will log on to sign up for health coverage.

But this year, too many will see premiums that doubled or tripled.

Why? Because Republicans shut down the government to rip away the tax credits that keep care affordable.
Would be great if our nation’s top health official understood the difference!
There are two different KFF numbers about the ACA out there. Both are accurate, but mean different things.

114%: The average increase in out-of-pocket premiums if enhanced tax credits expire.

26%: The average increase in what insurers are charging for benchmark ACA plans.

They don’t even pretend to care. This is the only story. You can’t open the government if the House refuses to show up.

Well, Fam, just found out our health insurance is jumping from $1700 to over $3000 a month. And we still have to wait till Nov 1 to see more options—when the site will probably crash because everyone will be freaking out at the same time.

Fathers like Steve just want the best for their kids. Republicans MUST extend the ACA tax credits.
⬇️ This is not okay! Millions of Americans are going to get notices like this in the next two weeks. Trump and the GOP shut down the government over a health care crisis of their own making. They need to bring back the health care tax credits and open the government.
Just receieved this today from Florida Blue. This is for a Bronze plan. Our monthly premiums are going from $333 (2025) to $2300 in 2026.

If you bash the ACA from the left because it failed to achieve truly universal health care, please read this thread. The law isn't perfect. (None are.) It still did a huge amount of good and saved many, many lives.
Are we doing "The ACA Sucks" Discourse again?

I'm going to guess most people hating on it from the left have never received a hospital bill the size of book; I put the apple there for scale.

That's the $1.3 million bill my kid incurred in his first ~94 days. Why does that make me respect the ACA?
