Premiums for millions of Americans in red and blue states are expected to more than double on average next year unless Congress finds a solution.
House Speaker Mike Johnson says he still has “PTSD” from the GOP’s failed effort to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act during Donald Trump’s first term.
Now, the party is about to plunge back into the tricky policy debate that once cost them seats in the House.
This time around, though, Republicans are mostly stopping short of calling for a full-scale repeal of Barack Obama’s signature health care law, even as they slam the policy as a failure. Instead, the mantra among Republicans is “fix Obamacare.”
But the clock is ticking. Open enrollment for health insurance has already begun and enhanced Obamacare subsidies are set to expire at the end of the year, more than doubling insurance premiums for millions of Americans in red and blue states alike, with some seeing increases of thousands of dollars per month.



MAGA has a plan. They just want the poor to die. Simple and saves the rich a lot of money.
