ACA Subsidies [View all]

The thing they don't realize is that the Republicans made Democrats blink and now they have them by the balls.
They can offer up as little as they want on subsidies and force Democrats into the same position as now, "take it or leave it".
"Take this or millions will die" and that's it.

They literally signed the death certificate of millions of people.
