How many months do those drugs buy, on average? Most people wouldn’t bankrupt themselves or their families to buy a few extra months of (lousy) life. They’d make sure their kids or grandkids did better. But as a society, we’re making that choice without even thinking about it.

Democrats are fighting so hard not just because the Covid-era 'emergency' subsidies are scheduled to expire, but because at the same time Obamacare premium prices, on their own, are increasing substantially. Some Democrats have even admitted the failure of the Affordable Care Act to make health coverage more affordable. Allowing the 'emergency' subsidies to expire--which every single Democrat voted to do back in 2022--at the same time rates are skyrocketing would be a serious blow to public confidence in the ACA. Remember, the ACA is the premier Democratic policy achievement of the last half-century. They will do anything to keep it afloat, even as it consumes more and more taxpayer money.

The reason government programs are so inefficient is that, unlike a commercial company, the feedback loop for improvement is broken, because they have a state-mandated monopoly and can’t go out of business if customers are unhappy. No matter how bad the service is at your DMV (sorry to pick on DMVs), you still have to use your DMV, because it’s a monopoly.

.@POTUS’ recommendation that we stop sending tens of billions of dollars under Obamacare to money sucking insurance companies and instead send that money directly to the people so they can buy better healthcare is simply brilliant. President Obama promised that families’ health care costs would go down by $2500. Instead, premiums have increased over 100%. The big winner of Obamacare since 2010 are large health insurance companies. Their stocks have risen, in some cases over 1000%, because they get most of the money from these subsidies. Mr. President, I am completely onboard with your recommendation.
