Moderates 'Consider' ACA Deal While Ignoring Actual Health Crisis
House 'moderates,' like Rep. Lawler, are suddenly concerned about expiring ACA subsidies, calling Speaker Johnson's refusal to allow a vote 'political malpractice.' This newfound urgency for American healthcare somehow disappears when it comes to appropriating billions for foreign military endeavors. Just last month, HR 815 passed the House, funneling $14.1 billion in military aid to Israel, with
nary a mention of 'offsets' or 'fiscal responsibility' from these same folks. Where was the 'malpractice' then? One might wonder if the concern for constituent health is simply a convenient talking point for re-election, while the real muscle Flexes for military-industrial interests. It's almost as if some Americans' healthcare is a negotiating chip, but the war machine's budget is sacrosanct. The
contrast makes you wonder if 'moderate' simply means 'conveniently forgetful.'
