I don’t think that is the take away. I think the fight forces
republicans to own the rise
in premiums. It also put their
absolutely cruelty on full
display for the country by fighting so hard to prevent SNAP benefits from going out.

Do you legitimately think that if Dems held out longer the Republicans would have given in on healthcare? I’m curious, because that seems like the argument but I just don’t see how that would ever happen

Republicans were never going to agree to extend the subsidies. Ever.

It is especially rich to seem them “condemn” insurance companies when big corporations and billionaires are their only concern

I think we’ll have to accept the ebb and flow of doomerism for the next year. But no giving up!!
