It's not hypothetical anymore. It's actually happening. Since Congress Let Obamacare Subsidies Expire, Millions Are Dropping Coverage, by @reedabelson.bsky.social @sangerkatz.bsky.social
Republicans raised the price of health insurance and now millions of people can't afford it. That's the story, and that's what this data shows. I just wish the NYT didn't frame this as a consumer choice ("dropping"). www.nytimes.com/2026/05/01/b...
Since Trump and GOP ended Obamacare Subsidies Expire, Millions Are Dropping Coverage. Trump has $ for his ballroom, Iran war, remodeling of Kennedy Center to honor himself but no $ for Americans who can't afford health insurance!

Congress didn't do this. The Republicans are killing people.

“Many insurers and analysts are estimating overall declines of about 20 percent, dropping to around 19 million from the 24 million who were covered under the A.C.A. last year.”
🔴 Millions are losing their health care.
🔴 Costs are rising for EVERYONE.
🔴 Insurers are leaving the marketplace.
Shame on Republicans for creating this health care crisis and refusing to extend the ACA tax credits from my legislation.

Since Republicans refused to extend the ACA tax credits, millions of Americans have been forced to go without coverage as their premiums have skyrocketed.
Health care is a human right. Republicans are failing the American people. https://nyti.ms/48weWzc
Some red states are really hard hit. About a third of Georgians on ACA plans have dropped coverage.
Republicans have shown their priorities. Billionaires, Trump monuments, and unwanted wars over us.
Vote Dem in November.

Trump is the first president in American history to force people to lose their health insurance as a central part of his budget. Democrats have expanded health care, Republicans have contracted it—all at a time when the US offers the least amount of healthcare at the highest price in the world.
2/ The numbers are staggering. Insurance analysts estimate 26 percent enrollment decline this year. Centene, one of largest marketplace insurers, lost 2 million customers by March alone. That's 1/3 of their entire customer base. Cigna is leaving the market entirely. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/01/b...
“Many insurers and analysts are estimating overall declines of about 20%, dropping to around 19 million from the 24 million who were covered under the A.C.A. last year. Other indications suggest there could be even larger potential losses by the end of the year, a deep retrenchment for Obamacare”
The GOP-controlled Congress refused to extend Obamacare subsidies, resulting in millions of people dropping coverage. We need a public option.

“Congress” didn’t let ACA subsidies expire, Congressional Republicans did and people aren’t “dropping” their health coverage, they’ve been forced out by increased costs they cannot afford.

Lets be clear, it's the Republicans in Congress who let the subsidies expire. Because unless you're directly advancing their free ride in congress, their supposed "career", or heaping money on them, they don't care if you live or die.
“Megan Burkett, 49, a nurse practitioner…dropped coverage for herself, her husband and her son in the face of escalating costs. She is working three part-time jobs, none of which offer health insurance.” I’ve seen this film, the ending’s sad. 🩺🇺🇸🎁🌊 #healthcare #affordability

Congress has moved on from the ACA for now without Republican support for extending enhanced premium subsidies.
But meanwhile, as the @nytimes.com reports, millions are now facing higher premium payments, bigger deductibles, or loss of coverage.

Well, it works for the wealthy. Except healthcare systems are going to shut down and your insurance premiums are going to go up. I’ve already gotten a letter about mine for next year.
Remember when Schumer and Gillibrand twisted arms behind closed doors to force Dems to end to the government shutdown, in exchange for a pinky promise that the GOP wouldn't let ACA subsidies expire?
And then that happened anyway?
Who could have predicted this?

“The insurers and state officials said early retirees with middle-class incomes, who faced the largest increases in premiums, appeared to be among the hardest hit. In some markets, the cost of insurance for this group rose by $1,000 a month or more. #healthcare

Big surprise...
One analysis, by Wakely Consulting Group, estimates that coverage in the marketplaces will drop by as much as 26 percent this year compared with last year’s average enrollment.
So they killed Obama care, and screwed millions of mostly young Americans

Now, millions are losing coverage altogether.

This administration isn't a reliable broker of health information but providers and analysts have the numbers. Something in the 5-6 million range already have dropped insurance this year, according to their estimates. And they warn it will get worse.

Insurance companies are vampires. Take your money and Deny service. Thank NBC for shaming insurance companies who denying paying clients claims.
How did the New York Times manage to do an extensive piece on the devastating loss of healthcare subsidies for millions and somehow reframe this as the work of “Congress” — never mentioning that this was a party-line bill pushed entirely by Republicans?

My individual ACA Bronze Plan premium jumped from $100 (with APTC) to $800 (without APTC). The Democrats initially forced a shutdown but then caved and got NOTHING in return.

The Affordable Care Act originally intended to make sure every American could afford coverage.
Since it passed in 2009, Republicans have whittled away at it, picking it apart and eliminating options that would’ve kept care affordable.
Apparently that wasn’t enough. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/01/b...
Cause and effect: Republicans refused to support ACA subsidies, and health insurance premiums skyrocketed. Now, millions of Americans have no health insurance because it’s too expensive.
Democrats believe quality healthcare should be a right. Republicans believe it’s a privilege.
While Shitler talks about granite and gold and marble for his $400M ballroom, millions of Americans can no longer afford their healthcare. It’s not that the Shitler regime doesn’t understand this - it’s that they simply don’t care.
