GOP Discovers Healthcare for People is Harder Than Tax Cuts for Billionaires
The mainstream outlets once again frame the GOP's perpetual healthcare struggles as mere internal 'divisions.' Meanwhile, President Trump's 'tentative proposal' to extend ACA subsidies for two years with 'adjusted eligibility' sounds less like a plan and more like a delay tactic. These 'COVID-era tax credits' are set to expire January 1, threatening sharp premium increases for millions. (Funny how
a pandemic could inspire such temporary generosity.) The real story isn't Republican infighting; it's their consistent, almost religious opposition to basic public good, always more concerned with tax cuts for the wealthy than accessible health plans for working families. How many years will they 'struggle' to fix a system they tirelessly tried to break? Perhaps their 'divisions' vanish when it's
time to approve another multi-billion dollar military aid package with bipartisan fervor.
