    Here’s the part I don’t understand.

    In 2025, approximately 22 million Americans received subsidies through the Affordable Care Act Marketplace to help pay for their health insurance. That’s millions of working Americans who depend on these subsidies to afford coverage.

    So who exactly is this statement supposed to appeal to? A significant number of Trump’s own constituents rely on healthcare.gov to purchase their health insurance. Without those subsidies, many of them are going to face the same financial reality I would.

    Without my subsidy, my health insurance would cost approximately $1,800 a month. That’s $21,600 a year just to have health insurance, before paying a single dollar in deductibles or copays.

    That’s absolute insanity.

      When Trump uses words like “we” and makes speeches, he is only referring to his donors and henchmen.

      We aren’t even a thought for him, not even his cult
