This is the catch 22.

One side has no plan.

The other side has to defend the compromise.

Until we center policy around care itself, not the insurance industry, nothing is going to change.

Never.

But Republicans still do not actually believe in universal healthcare.

They do not want government to guarantee care.

So they get to attack Obamacare without offering any way for people to get care if we get rid of it.

Republicans still have no replacement plan at all.

There is a newer sentiment inside the GOP base that taxpayer money should not endlessly subsidize private insurance.

And honestly that part is not wrong. The insurance model is inefficient and extractive.

This is, and always has been, a Republican shutdown

It’s been a two fold win for MAGA - avoid Epstein, but I think even more than that…

Let Russell Vought destroy any & all institution that was built to support the American people…

And funnel earnings to the extremely wealthy.
