Wow! 59% of Republicans support extending the ACA (ObamaCare) subsidies that Democrats are pushing for and Trump/Republi

With ACA tax credits, a 60-year-old couple making $85,000 pays ~$7,000 for their annual premium.

Without ACA tax credits, the same couple could be forced to pay nearly $30,000.


I know Republicans only speak "billionaire"—but middle-class families can't afford this.

Wow! 59% of Republicans support extending the ACA (ObamaCare) subsidies that Democrats are pushing for and Trump/Republicans refused to do in order to keep the government open.

Overall, 78% of American support extending them. That’s why most Americans blame Trump and Republicans for the shutdown.











Trump and Republicans could open the government today simply by extending the ACA subsidies so that our premiums don’t go up.

As long as Democrats stay united (I think they will), Republicans will give in on the ACA subsidies eventually.
