So is the ACA (Obamacare) essentially dead now?

6. Here is google's AI analysis of how the new tax bill affects the ACA:

"The new tax bill, often referred to as the "One Big Beautiful Bill," significantly impacts the Affordable Care Act (ACA) by making it harder to enroll in and maintain coverage. The bill cuts federal spending on the ACA marketplaces and Medicaid, potentially leading to millions losing health insurance. Specifically, the bill shortens open enrollment periods, restricts special enrollment periods, and eliminates automatic reenrollment for some ACA marketplace enrollees"

This is why I am so pissed at those folks who refused to vote for VP Harris by either NOT VOTING or voting third party.

They did the same bullshit in 2016, and that gave us the Supreme Court we have today, and what happened in 2024, made the probability high that the Supreme Court will remain in the hands of the most extremist right wing deviants for decades to come.

Congratulations
