"Truth bomb moment: Republicans do not, and have never had, a healthcare plan. And now they’re out of time. …
The hard truth is this: Republicans are fully prepared to let the ACA subsidies expire and send healthcare soaring for everyone. Why? A solid number of them absolutely hate Obamacare, and they believe that making it unaffordable will ultimately kill it."

Still Just Concepts of a Healthcare Plan
With the deadline looming to come up with a fix, the GOP comes up empty once again.Jay Kuo (The Status Kuo)
"Millions of people are now facing the prospects of drastically elevated premiums at a time when affordability concerns are already paramount. It’s also a calamity for Republicans politically, who are now set to be blamed for those skyrocketing premiums all while proving, yet again, that they are incapable of finding a health care plan that doesn’t ultimately make the system even worse and more chaotic."

"More than fifteen years after President Barack Obama signed the Affordable Care Act (better known as Obamacare) into law, congressional Republicans are still squabbling with each other and struggling to put together a coherent replacement. And proving incapable of actually getting anything passed."

"Subsidies for ACA premiums are set to expire on December 31, 2025. The subsidies were killed by Republicans to pay for the billionaire tax cut in the Big Ugly Bill."

"Now I'm seeing that attitude kind of infect the healthcare debate ... Republican legislators are coming out and just saying explicitly, like, hey, if you're healthy, you're fine. If you're not, there's something wrong with you and you deserve not to get coverage. You know, you deserve to be sick and meet your fate because it's all your fault."

"Over the last year, it has become more and more common to hear Republicans say things that usually, you know, in years past, you would have seen them having to resign over it, like Trump's rants over Somali immigrants in Minneapolis, just completely racist garbage."

"This is what it’s come to in Donald Trump’s America. Partisan politics has rarely been this destructive or painful. And for so many Americans, it’s a feeling of helplessness unlike anything they’ve felt before. The government is bankrupting and endangering its citizens."

"The Senate managed to fail at passing both a Republican and a Democratic plan — meaning life-saving subsidies for more than 20 million Americans will expire in 2026. Families could see premiums jump by $1,000 or more. This is the cost of Republican dysfunction: fake proposals, political stunts, and real people paying the price."

"Trump is looking like a weak second-term lame duck who is untethered from the political process and whom others are now prepared to ignore despite his excessive shouting and threats. That doesn’t normally happen within the first year of any second term presidency, so it is notable that Trump is losing his grip on power before 2025 is even over."

"Preventing that shift is the single most important thing on the American people’s plate right now. The fact that Donald Trump is the most hated, loathed, jeered-at and loathsome human alive on Planet Earth, well, that can be a powerful tool in that fight."

"Trump will get less and less popular, but Orbán and Putin are loathed by their people. They just don’t have the ability at the moment to do anything about it, because the state isn’t accountable to the people anymore. (Though there are big elections coming in Hungary that might reveal that Orbán’s power is not absolute.)"

It didn’t surprise me to learn that ... some blamed #Phoebe for mishandling their loved ones’ cases...
What I didn’t expect was how fearful people were to criticize Phoebe on the record and how powerless they were to hold the hospital to account. The same was true of many of the current and former employees of the hospital."

"According to an analysis by the Urban Institute, families with incomes below 250% of the poverty line will pay premiums that are more than four times higher — rising from $169 to $919.
Meanwhile, an estimated 4.8 million people will lose coverage completely because they are priced out of the market. Uninsured people, of course, continue to get sick and require emergency medical care."

"In three weeks, many of the government subsidies that help people afford health insurance will expire. If the subsidies are not extended before the end of the year, the impacts will be cataclysmic.
The 22 million Americans who currently receive these subsidies will see their premiums increase by an average of 114%."
