Republicans demand tougher abortion restrictions to extend Obamacare funds
Democrats say that’s a nonstarter, arguing there are already limits on abortion access. The dispute could torpedo a deal, leading to higher health insurance premiums for millions.

So here’s real life implications of our fucked up healthcare system. We absolutely need to reform our system. This is unsustainable. I talk with small businesses and they are struggling to pay for insurance for their employees and the exchange is not viable. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
ACA health care premiums are rising. These 8 Americans showed us how much.
Premiums for health insurance sold through the Affordable Care Act are soaring because of the expiration of enhanced subsidies at the heart of the government shutdown.

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

Open enrollment has begun for 2026 health plans, and Washingtonians are seeing huge cost increases.
Congress could be working right now on bringing down the cost of insurance premiums for Americans. But instead, people are refusing to come to the table to discuss this issue.
