The GOP is in control of the House, Senate, Presidency, Cabinet, and Supreme Court. If the U.S. government can’t pass a Healthcare bill through, it’s on the GOP.

I don’t think any meaningful healthcare legislation is gonna pass until Democrats retake congress.

Can’t wait to watch that knucklehead Karoline Leavitt try and spin this, and blame the Democrats for rising health care costs

Kindly fuck off with that nonsense. Millions of people depend on them. The average person does not understand what an HSA is and will either never use it or be severely underfunded by it if they do.

They have been trying to pass health care legislation in this country since 1994. Golly that sentence is depressing to type out.

>The Senate Thursday failed to pass competing plans to prevent a sharp rise in costs for people who get their health insurance through the Affordable Care Act when subsidies expire at the end of the year. The Democratic proposal to extend the subsidies for three years and a Republican alternative each drew a bare majority of 51 votes, but 60 votes were needed to advance under the Senate’s filibuster rule. A handful of Republicans voted for both plans.

It did pass, but it didn’t pass the Mitch filibuster
If there was any time to nuke the filibuster its now!

Great, Senate back at it with the usual: let’s deny Americans basic needs while we break for a fancy lunch. 🙄

Dems 4D chess forces Republicans to own the affordability and insurance issue. While still hurting a lot of people in the shutdown. End of the day…Schumer did exactly what the party wanted to do. Republicans are going to get demolished in the midterms.

Man, it was totally worth ending the government shutdown for the promise of that ACA vote, right?

This was a terrible bill anyways…basically a health savings plan and junk insurance policy…so, you know, you can get interest and tax breaks on your money before you give it all to the insurance company for your enormous annual deductible and huge copays…
There isn’t anyone in the Republican Party who wants to extend the affordable care act…even if the senators passed it, the house wouldn’t, and if both chambers passed it, the president wouldn’t sign it….
The GOP healthcare plan is simple—don’t get sick, and if you do, die quickly.
