because this agreement is modified from the bill sent over by the House it now has to be re-voted on in the House and that would entail bringing the House back to order and will give us a chance to swear in our rep. Plus I am not sure this will even pass with the nut jobs in the House. So maybe we are playing 3d chess and getting our Epstein vote and maybe sending this bill to die in the House. Correct me if I am understanding this wrong.

Health insurance companies stand to lose huge money if the subsides don't get renewed. tritsofme Nov 2025 #22

It isn't just premiums misanthrope Nov 2025 #25

Certainly a component, but on net the loss of subsidies is a huge loss to the entire model. tritsofme Nov 2025 #31

That makes no sense if you understand how the subsidies work EdmondDantes_ Nov 2025 #24
