Republicans and the White House face a deadline after refusing to negotiate with Democrats on impending Obamacare premium hikes

Just minutes before Donald Trump was set to unveil a plan to avert a massive hike for Obamacare health plans on Monday afternoon the event was suddenly pulled – reportedly because of widespread Republican unease on the Hill.

On CNN, anchor Jessica Dean was forced to interrupt herself as she asked a question of a health expert to announce some breaking news as it came into her ear – that the event had been abruptly postponed.

Federal subsidies passed under the Biden-era Inflation Reduction Act are set to expire at the end of the calendar year, and many Americans are already receiving notice that the monthly cost of their health care plans could jump by hundreds or even thousands of dollars for larger plans.

    Anybody else remember when a couple of less than intelligent Democrats were convinced to vote to reopen the government because Republicans said they’d be willing to “discuss keeping” Obamacare, but at a later date if they voted now to reopen? Where’s all that good faith at now, you chumps? Fuck you, Fetterman.
