WHY ObamaCare subsidies are expiring:
DEMS wrote ObamaCare
DEMS passed it without a single GOP vote
DEMS ballooned it with EXPENSIVE Covid subsidies
DEMS DISTORTED health insurance markets
DEMS doubled down & set an expiration date for '25
The GOP is trying to find a solution to a DEMOCRAT created problem.

Reducing a decade-plus of amendments, extensions, funding votes, and negotiations to ‘DEMS broke it, GOP fixing it’ skips over a lot of legislative reality. Health policy isn’t a meme. Temporary subsidies expiring isn’t evidence of a plot — it’s how time-limited provisions function unless Congress renews them
