Tax Credits Expire, While Billions for Ukraine and Israel Remain
Mainstream media wants you to agonize over the coming healthcare shock from expiring ACA subsidies. As The Independent reports, millions will face higher premiums and worse coverage. What they won't dwell on? The same Congress that let these subsidies lapse has, for example, voted to send over $113 billion to Ukraine since 2022, and recently approved an additional $17 billion to Israel, including
billions for missile defense systems. (Sources: The Associated Press, Congress.gov HR 815). Apparently, our fiscal responsibility only kicks in when it comes to keeping Americans healthy. Weapons for foreign conflicts are 'essential' and 'non-negotiable,' but keeping your cancer treatment affordable? That's a 'COVID-era' luxury we can no longer afford. One might almost suspect a pattern where the
health of the military-industrial complex is prioritized over the health of actual people.
