Open enrollment for ACA healthcare plans has started, and enrollees are seeing what their premium costs will be next year.
Without subsidies, one couple will see their monthly costs increase from $495 to $2,168 — a 300% increase.
This is what Democrats are fighting to prevent.

There’s no such thing as the “genuinely disabled”
Disability is dynamic
Some disabilities are invisible. Some change day to day
You won’t always know a person is disabled unless they tell you
It’s a minority group you can join at any time, not a moral failing.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

✅ Yes, a meme titled "Republicans on rape" accurately presents quotes from six Republican candidates and elected officials. www.snopes.com/fact-check/r...
'Republicans on rape' meme shows real quotes from politicians
For example, 1990 Texas gubernatorial candidate Clayton Williams once likened rape to bad weather, saying, "If it's inevitable, relax and enjoy it."

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.
Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:
* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled
* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.
