Do we have any update on how many folks have lost healthcare this year due to Trump ending enhanced ACA subsidies?

For a minute, everyone was talking about this issue. Now, it's almost spooky the degree to which nobody is talking about it.

1. That sure went away n/t

4. That's just it. It couldn't have just went away...

Even the revised numbers that were thrown about suggested that somewhere between 2 and 5 million people could lose their health insurance. How is that not a daily conversation?

2. Well, I'm on Medicaid--- so I won't actually lose insurance until the end of the year

at the age of 64, because of Trump's "Big Bastard Bill" and 'work requirements'
which I don't expect to be able to fulfill, and even if I did---
the required 20 hours would put me over the income limits,
so I will LOSE those benefits even if I DID "get back to work, old man!"

since I decided to take a small Social Security benefit at age 62,
also taking my SNAP benefits into account in that decision--- just before the anti-christ took office---
since I never suspected that THOSE benefits would be cut off
(but guess I SHOULD have, considering GQP ideology!)


Trump and the Republicans are kicking undocumented labor out of the country,
and are attempting to replace that labor with 'old people'---
some of them have even SAID that specifically---!

thus raising the age for 'work requirements' for SNAP and MEDICAID
from age 54 to age 64, in their 'big beautiful BASTARD bill'
while they instead give welfare to Billionaires!!!!


FRANCE had the right idea 1789-1793-ish

3. They just quietly lose any insurance that they had and hope for the best.

5. Basically zero coverage of this

Implicit in that is that you're dispensible, or just disposable

7. We had a government shut down over this single issue. We can't just abandon it.

6. We'll never get an accurate number from this admin.
