if you are insured, in all likelihood.. you got a SUBSIDY to buy health insurance.
WE ALL GET TAX SUBSIDIES TO BUY HEALTH INSURANCE
Those with employer insurance (60% of us) get subsidies TEN TIMES higher than the costs of the ACA subsidies.
So why only attack the ACA/Obamacare subsidies?

A complaint: extending ACA/marketplace enhanced premium tax credits would be expensive.
It would cost $35 billion/year to extend marketplace credits.
In contrast the tax exclusion for employer-sponsored health insurance cost $299 billion/year in 2022

I testified today before the House Homeland Committee. I told them Trump's treatment of immigrants legally here on parole typifies the 3 pillars of his mass deportation agenda: 1) Strip status & citizenship. 2) Arrest without reasonable basis. 3) Deport without due process.

If we had the same inequality today as we had in 1975, the bottom 90% of income earners would have an extra $23,000 per year. How many financial ills would that cure?
