With significant cuts to Medicaid—the largest in the program’s history—and an end to ACA subsidies that could see premiums double or more for over 20 million people in the coming year, Democrats are warning of a healthcare crisis in 2026 like nothing the nation has ever seen.
“Trump’s ‘healthcare’ plan will bankrupt and kill millions of Americans,” warned Melanie D’Arrigo, executive director of the Campaign for New York Health, a single-payer advocacy group. “We can eliminate the private insurance industry, and save $650 billion per year with Medicare for All—which would cover everyone, save families money, and include dental, vision, prescriptions, and long-term care.”
Oh if only there were something, anything the Democrats could have done! I don’t know, maybe something like refusing to fund the government if the subsidies weren’t extended.
Fuck the Dems. I mean, fuck the MAGAts and Repubs, too, with cacti, but the Dems shouldn’t get a pass.
Sometimes I find myself more pissed off at libs than conservatives because libs are fucking snakes but at least I know what conservatives are all about
But we had to preserve the filibuster, for reasons! /s
