ACA health insurance will cost the average person 75% more next year

The GOP is not extending the tax credits.

The Congressional Budget Office estimates that 8.2 million people who get ACA insurance now will become uninsured over the next decade due to the expiration of the enhanced tax credits along with other changes that the Trump administration and Congress have made to the marketplaces through regulations and the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

This is going to be one of the first major things to impact Trump's "uneducated" voters. Many will be priced out of the healthcare coverage that they have grown accustomed to and there will be very few that will be eligible for Medicaid. I am guessing there will be regrets.

No matter how bad it gets for them, they will never have any regrets. They can justify any suffering they experience as long as there is someone else who is suffering worse.

Guess I'll dropping down to the "bronze" tier next year

They'll need to add a new bottom tier of worthless shit coverage for the rubes

Maybe 'lead"?

Lead? How about "shit"??

I don't receive any credits, and pay full-price in the marketplace. That's $1600 per month for just myself. I'm already planning to drop back from a gold tier to silver because I can't afford it. Now it looks like I'll be lucky to afford bronze!

Shit will be for educated non-rubes, too!

I think they'll have regrets, but not change how they vote.

No argument about the impact. But will it change the minds of many who are affected? I'm fairly certain not..

How fucking mean-spirited and/or painfully fucking stupid did one gave to be to vote for this man? Stupid enough to vote against one's own interests. And stupid enough never to connect the effect with the proper cause
