that they stripped from the ACA so they could say the ACA was failing.

By putting it out there immediately, she is giving them the chance to expose their duplicity of the last seven years. At the end of the day, the amount of $ needed to stabilize the markets is relatively small. Once that $ is restored, the question will be why there was so much gnashing and wailing over the ACA when simply throwing a little $ at the program was all that was needed all along
