4. I believe the subsidies revert to the old, pre-pandemic levels. However, it will be a big increase for many.

The article linked says this: "On average, the enhanced tax credits have reduced premium payments by $705 a year on average for enrollees receiving tax credits."

I think the enhanced subsidy is greater than $705, but let's say it makes a difference of $1000 (or $80/month). That's bad, but lots of people will find a way to pay it compared to being uninsured.

What's really sad is that until Congress enacts Universal Coverage, we are stuck fighting about whether someone should be in Medicaid, ACA, or something else. Don't see that changing unfortunately.
