On the final full day of the legislative year, Congress held two doomed votes on ACA subsidies, leaving 22 million Americans stranded in a collapsing system.
Your point is well taken. I would add that another consequence of the cancellation of governmental support for health insurance, especially such a huge withdrawal of funding, is that much of the medical sector will have a serious shortfall of income, because great numbers of would-be patients will not be trying to get care- either they dropped out of the insurance plan, or they don't want to face high copays. Doctors and other personnel, and hospitals, will suffer. It's sad that health care has become a commodity rather than treated as a necessity for all.
The question is: Why are the Democrats pushing only for an extension of an exception (ACA subsidies)?
It would have been better if they had been able to develop their own plan with restrictions on the power of insurance companies and pharmaceutical corporations.

All Republicans, take note. YOU belong to a criminal organization.
You're right !
