Isn’t it true that the healthcare part only involves credits that were supposed to be temporary during COVID?

Also, isn’t it true that the expiring credits are for people who earn more money than ACA allowed? ( In other words, the poor still get assistance.)

Please provide receipts if there are other aspects to be considered.



Yes it’s true that those provisions expired, the Republicans are not changing or removing anything, and it’s the Democrats that are demanding additional funding to replace the Covid era funding that is expiring.

So? There's no rule that temporary things can't later become permanent.

For example the Trump tax cuts from 2017 were supposed to temporary, expiring this year. The "Big Beautiful Bill" made them permanent.

Also the healthcare part is not just letting temporary COVID era credits expire. It also includes cuts to Medicaid.
