Senate Prioritizes War Chests, Not Your Health Costs
Axios reports the Senate spectacularly failed to extend ACA subsidies, leaving millions facing higher costs. This 'deadlock' (their word, not ours) occurred despite 74% public support for extension, a KFF poll noted. Funny, isn't it, how 'bipartisan talks' on your economic well-being collapse, while bipartisan votes for, say, a $14 billion aid package to Israel—which then faced a genocide
convention case—sail through with minimal fuss? One might wonder if this 'deadlock' is less about policy and more about priorities. When lobbyists for arms manufacturers or foreign governments come calling, miraculously, the path to consensus clears. But for American citizens' healthcare, the political will simply vanishes. Perhaps if constituents lobbied with F-35s, their concerns would gain
traction.
