$2,000 in a HSA account covers approximately 25 days of health insurance. Not only does this not fix anything, it makes it exponentially worse.

100% don’t like ACA and unfortunately the government failed us by implementing something so stupid in the first place. But - Even if the system isn’t perfect, millions rely on it right now. Millions would face immediate premium spikes •Without the extended subsidies, premiums jump sharply. •Estimated increases: $1,200–$4,000 per year for many families. Tens of millions could lose health coverage •People would drop insurance because they can’t afford it. •Uninsured rate rises — especially among working-class families. Hospitals would face more uncompensated care •Uninsured people delay care → show up in ER in crises → hospitals eat cost → premiums eventually rise for everyone else. Worst impact on middle-income families •Wealthy aren’t affected. •Poor often move to Medicaid. •Middle-class + self-employed get hit hardest. Sudden disruption would be destabilizing Whether you want to reform or replace ACA, abruptly cutting support without a replacement ready hurts real people.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable. We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina. A vote for this bill is a mistake.

That’s how insurance works! You pay your monthly premium hoping you never have to use it but if you do, it’s there to take care of you. Good Lord, dude. It’s the same with car insurance. I haven’t had an accident in 20 years but I’ve paid car insurance every month for 20 years.

Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."

Tonight was a very bad night.

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working. We need new leaders in the Senate.

Please go listen to @BernieSanders healthcare plan !!!

This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt? He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

This would be an absolute disaster. Here's why: 1) Redirecting that money directly to individuals would violate existing law and collapse the entire exchange system overnight. 2) Giving people cash instead would destroy that risk pool, driving premiums sky-high for anyone with preexisting conditions. 3) By calling insurers “money-sucking” but proposing to eliminate regulation, he’d actually increase their profits, since deregulated markets let them cherry-pick healthy customers and deny coverage to the rest. 4) Without predictable federal payments, insurers would exit state markets immediatel. Such uncertainty triggers premium spikes and loss of coverage, similar to what happened during Trump’s 2017 threats to end cost-sharing payments. 5) The cost of individual insurance plans varies wildly by age and health status. Most Americans couldn’t buy adequate coverage with a flat “check.” It would also create administrative chaos, fraud potential, and inequities. Some people would spend the funds on non-healthcare needs, leaving them uninsured later. 6) Letting people “buy their own” coverage would reopen the door to junk plans, cheap but useless insurance that vanishes when you actually get sick.

This will spike medical bankruptcies even more and they’re already bad. Average American emergency fund is like $1000 Average baby birth cost ~ $20,000 Cancer - $150,000+ People will get wrecked, especially MAGA that has lower than average incomes and worse health on average.

BREAKING: Trump just called for the dismantling of ObamaCare, and Checks sent to Americans instead. This would be an absolute disaster. Here's why: 1) Redirecting that money directly to individuals would violate existing law and collapse the entire exchange system overnight. 2) Giving people cash instead would destroy that risk pool, driving premiums sky-high for anyone with preexisting conditions. 3) By calling insurers “money-sucking” but proposing to eliminate regulation, he’d actually increase their profits, since deregulated markets let them cherry-pick healthy customers and deny coverage to the rest. 4) Without predictable federal payments, insurers would exit state markets immediatel.

Yes agreed - do something about it NOW and end the shutdown and then sit down together and tackle this issue head on to come up with something better than ACA. Too many egos in one room.

And the gullible will eat this propaganda.

BREAKING: USDA just announced that it will make SNAP payments available IN FULL for November, despite trump's attempts at delaying it. THIS IS A HUGE WIN!!! Get fucked, Sleepy Don.

Perhaps you're having a hard time noticing the difference. The Nazi salute has very specific two-part motions. See here for an example:

😂 FALSE: This is Mamdani’s July 2025 CAMPAIGN statement against NYC’s established housing ENFORCEMENT STATUTES, this is instead a proposal to expand targeted regulatory actions against CHRONICALLY NEGLIGENT LANDLORDS —those who repeatedly violate building codes and endanger tenants. The claim in this Tweet misrepresents Mamdani’s July 2025 campaign statement as an announcement of arbitrary, communist-style property confiscation from all New York business owners. Based on the original video footage (extracted via direct analysis of the X post’s embedded media) and cross-verified against NYC’s established housing ENFORCEMENT STATUTES, this is instead a proposal to expand targeted regulatory actions against CHRONICALLY NEGLIGENT LANDLORDS—those who repeatedly violate building codes and endanger tenants—through existing legal mechanisms like escalated fines, city-performed repairs with billing, and, as a last resort, judicially overseen building takeovers (e.g., via receivership or foreclosure). No primary evidence supports the hyperbolic interpretation of widespread “seizure of the means of production”; the policy explicitly limits intervention to “the worst landlords,” defined by objective criteria such as uncorrected fire hazards or health threats under New York State Multiple Dwelling Law § 302-a and NYC Housing Maintenance Code. Primary records from the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) confirm that such enforcement is not novel or ideological but a continuation of precedents like the 1962 Spiegel Law (NYC Admin. Code), which authorizes the city to withhold rent subsidies, impose penalties, and initiate legal actions to compel repairs in multifamily dwellings with serious violations—ultimately allowing court-ordered control if owners fail to comply after due notice. For instance, in 2016, the de Blasio administration used this law to force fixes in 12 dilapidated buildings, withholding rents and threatening further action without any “confiscation” occurring outside judicial oversight; similar cases under the Tenant Harassment Prevention Task Force (e.g., 2022 settlement with Greenbrook Holdings) resulted in monitors, repairs, and fines, not outright government ownership without compensation. Mamdani’s expansion would scale these tools—e.g., doubling fines or accelerating interventions—but primary campaign materials (e.g., his October 22, 2025, X post) frame it as balancing landlord support (e.g., insurance relief) with tenant protections, NOT BLANKET EXPROPRIATION. The “communist” label fails under independent reasoning: Regulatory enforcement against property misuse for public safety is standard in U.S. 🇺🇸 capitalist frameworks, akin to eminent domain (with compensation) or zoning laws, not Marxian abolition of private property. NYC’s warranty of habitability (Real Property Law § 235-b) already mandates landlords maintain safe conditions, with city intervention as a remedy for breaches—evidenced by over 500,000 annual HPD violation COMPLAINTS resolved via fines or court orders, per 2024-2025 agency data. If Mamdani intended radical seizure, primary sources like his YouTube campaign videos (e.g., housing policy segments) and X posts show no such plan; instead, they emphasize “holding BAD LANDLORDS to account” via accountability measures, with “taking over” referring to last-resort vesting after failed compliance, as in historical NYC cases where courts appoint receivers to manage (not own) properties until violations are fixed. Speculation of systemic communist intent here is low-probability (under 10%): No anomalies like suppressed records or procedural failures appear in Wayback Machine archives of HPD/DHCR sites or Mamdani’s campaign materials; Simplest explanation favors this as routine urban policy enforcement over a concealed ideological plot, given parallels to non-partisan actions under prior mayors.

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Chuck Schumer has offered Republicans a deal to reopen the government if they extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies for ONE YEAR. Republicans must accept the deal or FOREVER be remembered as the party who chose Trump and cruelty over the lives of millions.
