lol. How? Dems are suddenly going to vote yes on cloture they’ve now rejected how many times? 10? They convene at 3:00 today. I’m not holding my breath.

The shutdown isn’t even mentioned on the landing page of WaPo anymore.

If the White House said that, it means GOP is likely to give in. You can’t speak for the other side.

Same problem- they’ve voted many times on the Dem version that extends ACA subsidies and turned that down flat each time as well. So unless there’s some new bill coming forward with a compromise, which seems unlikely given the lack of discussion between the sides, I don’t get how they declare it’s likely to end.

My visit to Florida back in 2021 when I visited a Golf Course community full of early retirees mainly from NY and most worked in Finance and lived in six figure homes, had six figure 401ks and drove BMW and Mercedes convertibles and all loved they got almost free medical due to ACA subsidies. Without it they might have to work instead of getting drunk and playing golf all day at 58 year old. Glad to see the rallies this weekend to support them.

Why taxpayers should pay those early retirees under ACA? ACA is for poor people.

You receive Medicare coverage after 65 because you paid Medicare tax when you work before retirement.

Medicaid is for poor people.

The ACA income is primarily based on your Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI), which includes your total income and certain deductions. Not assets. That complex was full of people 55-64 who own their house cash, own their cars cash. Not taking 401ks withdraws and many have ROTHS which dont count as income. Some have rental properties with depreciation does not count as income and some have mortgages that bring down MAGI.

One could own one billion in Berkshire stock that pays no dividend and still get an ACA subsidy. They dont count assets.

What’s your point? It makes sense to subside poor American citizens health care with ACA or Medicaid. It does NOT make sense to subsidize people who have money but choose to retire early on taxpayers money under ACA.
