Whispers

From an admin insider: Chances of a deal on the ACA subsidies is small. Dems caved and lost. White House has had “Obamacare” in its sights for a long time. This might be the chance to mortally wound it.

Bipartisan polling that shows that 69% of voters think healthcare is unaffordable has many on the red team nervous as the shutdown drags on…

Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene (R-GA) has broken with President Trump and is supporting the ACA subsidies.
