President Donald Trump
I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?
So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at
It doesn't appear you know anything at all about the ACA. If you're going to have such strong opinions about it, you should probably get the slightest clue as to what it is.
Most Republican politicians have been trying to get rid of it but Republican voters have come out for it in states where their politicians didn't approve the advancement of Medicaid to people 130% above the poverty line and below. With the Federal Government paying 90% of the expenses between 100% and 130%.
The enhanced subsidies started in 2021 as part of the Covid Relief Act
Yes the part that protected folks with existing conditions was a good thing though I find it funny that the point of the ACA was to make health Insurance Affordable than why call it the Affordable Care Act?
I saw on Breaking Point Sagar talk about family of 3 $10,000 a year with a $14,000 deductible thats just crazy

Our healthcare, like most things in this country, is great...........if you're rich.. or your employer covers it. The percentage of people that fit those requirements are decreasing by the day.

Behold, the no war president.
“I don’t think we’re necessarily going to ask for a declaration of war. I think we’re just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We’re going to kill them. They’re going to be, like, dead,” Trump said.
Reached for comment, the White House wouldn’t say what, if anything, Trump would seek from Congress.
Yep
Federal agents deployed tear gas in Chicago’s Old Irving Park neighborhood Saturday morning, disrupting a community Halloween parade and sparking outrage among residents.
Witnesses say Customs and Border Protection officers tackled and detained an undocumented man working nearby, then used chemical agents as neighbors and protesters confronted them.
Former prosecutor Brian Kolp, who saw the incident unfold in his front yard, says a 70-year-old neighbor was also detained and that a law firm is preparing a lawsuit against the federal government.

The point you're missing is a family of three that earns around the poverty level would not have to pay $10K in premiums for the same coverage.
They would qualify for a very low premium plan with probably no deductible; ergo, an affordable plan. This is scalable, so if one makes a modest income, then one would receive a modest subsidy paid to the insurance company.
The question is if you think $10K with a high deductible is crazy and you're also against socialized medicine, then what's your solution?

The last thing he saw on Twitter or Fox News, I’m sure

The new notice comes after the Trump administration said it would not tap roughly $5 billion in contingency funds to keep benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly referred to as SNAP, flowing into November. That program helps about 1 in 8 Americans buy groceries.
Is that right? 1 in 8? That's insane in the richest country in the world.
Someone ask Mike Johnson about the move from denying affordable health to denying people food. I'm gonna guess he's not aware of the situation cos of his 21 hour workdays keeping him so busy with...er....something?.... that he doesn't know about anything that's going on.
The poor guy.
It's so weird how much he doesnt know anything but then suddenly seems to know enough to frame it as a democrat-caused problem.
Our healthcare, like most things in this country, is great...........if you're rich.. or your employer covers it. The percentage of people that fit those requirements are decreasing by the day.
I agree it sucks and Universal Healthcare is the way to go with not for profit hospitals. Yeah I know another MAGA leaning policy
“At this time, there will be no benefits issued November 01. We are approaching an inflection point for Senate Democrats. They can continue to hold out for healthcare for illegal aliens and gender mutilation procedures or reopen the government so mothers, babies, and the most vulnerable among us can receive critical nutrition assistance,” the notice concludes.
Imagine being [strike]lozen[/strike] such a depraved piece of **** you believe this
The Republicans seem to compete against each other on who can come up with the most outrageous lues.

Is there anything else the $5 billion was supposed to be used for? I can't think of any other reason funding would end, so it seems likely to have been for when exactly this happens. But then they deliberately choose not to spend the money, and blame the Democrats for the money not being there. This is probably the worst thing the Republicans have done so far. There must be at least a few of them with a conscience who are made sick about doing this? Or is this decision given completely to Trump alone?

It looks like the SC gives lots of leeway to the executive branch to not spend money. The only one I saw them be required to disperse was the pay for services already rendered. At this point it appears that the executive is able to effectively backdoor veto congressional appropriations.

$5b huh? sorry guys, we needed $40b to bailout argentina ..... (for some reason)

This seems different than the other money they have declined to spend.
I don't know how it is technically classified, but this seems effectively already spent, and not going back into the general treasury.
Slipped past me while I was working nights and sleeping days, I guess. I recall this idea being screamed down during the Carter Administration like SEC reform during the Clinton Administration.
If Carter had killed the penny, got the metric system & 360 day calendar through, and rescued the hostages, who knows?
Spoiler
He also should’ve kept his mouth shut about Afghanistan and gone to the Moscow Olympics, but that would’ve required a visionary.
I also remember GOP screaming about $50K fir the WH bowling alley during the Obama Administration.

It’s sort of like the Seinfeld reservation scene. You can appropriate the funds all you want but it’s not being spent.

I didn't know it was that many. Now with huge raises to healthcare and rising costs of food, at some point people being robbed outside of stores for their bags of groceries will be common.
But that's cool. Trump is having a ballroom modeled after the Winter Palace in Russia.

SNAP is paid out during shutdowns. They have decided to not do that this time in order to pressure Democrats to give in. America's most vulnerable are being used as pawns in a political game.
