A few crumbs for the poor?
You’re being absurd
The ONLY reason my sister had health insurance after she graduated from college was the ACA’s provision to allow her to stay on my mom’s health insurance plan.

With the ACA's enhanced subsidies now expired, Trump officials are very motivated to make ACA coverage appear more affordable. So they are pouring gasoline on "catastrophic" plans and other skimpy options. More with @tarabannow.bsky.social: www.statnews.com/2026/02/11/2...
Trump officials push for skimpier coverage in ACA marketplaces
The Trump administration wants the 2027 ACA marketplace to offer plans with lower premiums — but the tradeoff is high deductibles and risk for those needing care.

Did your healthcare costs go up this year? Congress chose to terminate the ACA’s enhanced premium tax credits and cut Medicaid, pricing millions of families out of care.
This was entirely preventable. Keep using your voice and tell others why we need to reinstate these essential tax credits.

WTF? "Something called a CSR"-- does he mean ACA's Cost Sharing Reductions, in effect 2013-17 despite House GOP court battles to eliminate them? CSR that TRUMP DISCONTINUED October 2017, calling them a "bailout for insurance companies" in an argument journalists described as "completely incoherent"?

Thanks so much to @davidcbowen.bsky.social for speaking with my health policy MPH students about getting health policy laws - in particular, the Affordable Care Act - across the finish line! My students learned so much about the legislative process, and appreciated learning the ACA's inner workings.

Counterpoint: "Some Nights" was your soundtrack to the diminishing serotonin returns of Obama's second term win and that one moment that the Roberts Court upheld the ACA's constitutionality. You quickly skip it now when it comes on your "deep cuts" mix, but someday . . . you'll blast it again.

And it also doesn't take into county that the insurance overly inflated "retail" price we see on drugs which is not what the insurance actually pays helps the insurance company misrepresent the ACA's 80/20 where amounts over 80percent of premium medical expense must be refunded to policyowners AUDIT

Is there a special message board where people are coordinating “Obama the competent authoritarian”? Because it seems to be parroted a lot in this thread, and I for one consider it very disrespectful to Justice Garland and the ACA’s public option.

Also, the Court struck down the ACA's mechanism for requiring states to expand Medicaid, which arguably did more damage to the law than striking down the individual mandate would have.
Well, one of those was a law passed by Congress to help people, and the other is an unconstitutional power grab, but yes, otherwise the same.

Sending people a couple of thousand dollars instead of subsidizing ACA's astronomical health insurance premium costs will only make things significantly worse and a lot more expensive.
And more healthcare bankruptcies will ensue.
And more healthcare bankruptcies will ensue.
If fewer people are insured, costs don’t vanish. They shift: to hospitals via uncompensated care, to insured patients via higher prices, to the uninsured who bear the burden of ill health, and to taxpayers via bailouts and subsidies.
