9. Is this about the extra subsidies after the pandemic?

Or all the subsidies?

The reason I ask is we have been contemplating going to an ACA plan. Out of curiosity I tried shopping with various income levels. I was still seeing subsidies at $150k for two people. That may be too generous. The ones starting around $42k for two people are crucial, and I hope those survive. If they phase out around 100 or 120k, that would make sense. But I could be missing something here.

Democrats must dig in on this. GoodRaisin Sep 10 #1

No they shouldn't dig in Fiendish Thingy Sep 10 #3

I disagree. I think Democrats need to be seen fighting for this rather than just letting it go GoodRaisin Sep 10 #8

But their "fight" is to delay the cuts/hikes by 6-12 months Fiendish Thingy Sep 10 #13

Yeah, and some of those people who can't afford the increase will suffer and die Just_Vote_Dem Sep 10 #7

So, Dems should cave and give them a 6-12 month reprieve? Fiendish Thingy Sep 10 #12

Let the cuts happen JBTaurus83 Sep 10 #4

And Democrats can say that's fine, as long as the CR doesn't go into the new year. tritsofme Sep 10 #5
