The GOP just blocked extending the ACA subsidies - again.
Making people’s healthcare skyrocket while you control the White House and both chambers of Congress seems like a great move for the midterms.

Letting AI decide whether or not you can get the treatment your real-life doctor thinks you need? Nobody is asking for this. It's an irresponsible dangerous gamble by the Trump Administration.
A new Medicare pilot program is about to launch that will let private companies use AI to review requests for certain medical care — and reward companies when they deny claims.

So, Trump’s plan is to give a $2K one time payment to Americans instead of to insurance companies, but Americans are supposed to use the $2K to buy insurance from insurance companies.
Did I get that right?
Not only is it willfully insufficient for people’s healthcare needs, but it’s nonsensical.
