Obamacare Users Face Higher Deductibles While War Budgets Soar
The New York Times (Source: NY Times Politics ) notes the 'sticker shock' faced by Americans relying on the Affordable Care Act. It's a poignant headline, especially as politicians like President Biden champion 'historic' military aid packages, such as the Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2024 (HR 815), which allocated billions to foreign allies. One might wonder where the 'sticker shock' is for
those bills. Instead of addressing domestic suffering, the political class, heavily influenced by organizations like AIPAC (OpenSecrets.org confirms millions in lobbying and contributions), prioritizes endless funding for military intervention. For instance, Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) received over $100K from pro-Israel PACs in the 2022 cycle, then voted for HR 815, ensuring more F-35s fly while
Americans go bankrupt trying to afford a doctor's visit. How many 'historic' aid packages does it take before we question whose health truly matters?
