I guess cruel Mikey Johnson was afraid the vote would pass to extend the subsidies after all and so had to stop it dead in its tracks.

Oh, you mean that thing they explicitly “promised” to do in response to those 9 craven, dipshit democrats caving to end the shutdown? Wow! What a shock! Who could have guessed that the republicans were full of shit and liars that can’t be trusted to uphold their end of any bargain.

Vote these heartless men out in the midterms. Vote them out! So far as they have their money coming in, with all the other benefits they get, every other person can go to hell for all they care. These GOP congressmen don’t love you, they don’t think of you are entitled to any help from your country. Vote them out

Masterful shutdown negotiations, guys. Really just a top-notch performance from Democratic leadership, Fetterman, Kaine, and the rest. /s

I’ve lost track, has Mike Johnson brought anything to the floor without a discharge petition other than the BBB?

Time after time republicans show you cannot work with them. They cannot be trusted or relied upon. They only care about money in their pockets, their religion, and their guns. Everything else is a non-issue.

so the plan is to let people lose coverage to prove a point? thats not strategy, thats sabotage with extra steps.

So I guess after years of Republicans bloviating about “Death Panels”, the House GOP has become one big Death Panel. Citizens will die because of their sickening mendacity.

If these repubs wanted to make things happen 6 of them could switch to the dem side and lets go!
but they won’t. this is performative garbage from the party that honestly doesn’t want to govern. they want the power but they don’t want to actually serve.

What are people on ObamaCare going to do? It will be unaffordable insurance, and there is not a viable alternative. Trump’s plan to negotiate for insurance is ridiculous. Anyone with a previous condition, especially elderly, would not be able to afford coverage. Meanwhile, insurance companies would be the winners.
Trump has absolutely no idea about health care costs and coverage.

America first except for: public education, public health, public infrastructure, public lands, public housing, public libraries, public radio, public television, medical research, social security, IRS, USPS, NOAA, OSHA, suicide prevention, worker rights, minimum wages, school lunches, disaster aid, environmental protections, utility subsides, renewable energy….
But they’ve got trillions to add to the national debt, build concentration camps across the nation, fund a faceless heavily armed army that answer only to the executive branch, give billions to Israel and Argentina, tax cuts to their wealthiest donors, gold plate the white house, build ball rooms and monuments, multi million dollar golf outings, private planes, guarding strippers, firing then rehiring entire agencies worth of people, casual war crimes in Venezuela, protect rapists, persecute small groups of minorities, rename bodies of water, renovating golf courses…

>Johnson said he expects all Republicans will unite around the underlying health care bill, which is set to hit the House floor Wednesday, arguing it would reduce costs for all Americans rather than the small percentage of Americans who get health coverage through the Affordable Care Act marketplace.
I just had to take a payday loan to survive the week. I have a good job, but I’ve had some unfortunate circumstances over the past few months
I’m still fine with letting the ACA customers have all the cuts, even though I don’t use or need that market and I’m having a hard time.

The Republican Party is really good at destroying the country and economy, doing nothing for the American people and protecting pedophiles.

First, no one is surprised. Everyone knew the republicans would welch. That is what they do.
Second, democrats are weak. They are going to shout and stamp their feet – you promised!!!
Someone needs to step up, kick some ass, and lead.

Turn the Democrat house upside down. Get AOC, Jasmine Crockett, and the younger politicians who actually seem to want to change the status quo. Enough already, just retire.

American citizens need a fresh start from top to bottom; left and right. We’ve been sold out by damn near everyone we’ve voted for, across the board.

I’m a blue bubble in FL, didn’t vote for any of this shit, and the increase in my ACA monthly premium is disgusting. I have a 2025 bronze Cigna plan that is $483/mo with a $6500 deductible, and I receive about a $40 subsidy. I can live without the subsidy, but the exact same plan is now $738.80/mo. I can’t even imagine how this monthly premium jump impacts those who rely on the subsidies. People will just not get insurance again impacting their own health, the health of their kids, and adding extra burden on the emergency and urgent care services.

Senator Kaine may think he’s going to be fine when his next election comes because of the time period, but a lot of Virginians are fucking livid and will not forget this. I will enjoy primarying his ass with a more progressive candidate who has a spine

The Democrat senators that voted to reopen the govt need to be primaried and remembered forever for the pain they are causing. Each one should get a flooded inbox of voicemail’s or emails calling them cowards. We all saw this coming and they still caved.

This is going to be devastating for a lot of people. I agree the system is broken but just completely abandoning it, without any sort of plan isn’t just reckless… It’s dangerous and people will likely die because of it.
