Health Marketplace Coverage is Now Unaffordable For Many

With no up front credits, most people (like myself) will have no insurance again. $1000 a month would mean my family doesn't eat and doesn't have a place to live.

People are just now finding the changes Trump made to the programs are kicking-in. It's a nightmare.

God forbid, I actually get sick.

the republicans did to sabotage the ACA by removing the subsidies etc., plus the Democrats need to increase the income limits so more people qualify for the subsidies.


While I know some may argue they should push for Medicare for all, the problem is I can't see them getting the votes for that in the Senate, but there might be a small chance to restore the ACA subsidies.


California has tried to cushion some of those draconian subsidy removals that the ASS in the WH removed, but the Democrats really need to push this issue hard, and let them know exactly what is happening and who is responsible


This needs to be the first priority, and I would argue they should refuse to sign-on to any budget unless the subsidies are restored. Let the f**king government shut down, we are dealing with people's lives
