Whispers

Democrats are looking at the fire from their base around ACA subsidies and planning on doing polling around Medicare 4 All in 2026.

Polling has shifted and Obamacare has the best numbers since it was implemented over a decade ago. Republicans are realizing that this issue matters to their voters and are scrambling to salvage something…anything…but are lacking strategy.

President Trump was supposed to release his own framework for ACA subsidies today….but it went over like a fart in church with House Republicans pushing back hard.

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.
