Yup.
Anyone arguing that 'they' and not Trump are correct and that 'they' and not Trump can speak for magats on this issue has to establish that, in fact they do speak for magats and not Trump.
The below is so definitive and clear and simply ignoring it while trying to say 'but i am right' simply cannot fly.

You lying terrorist fuck.
14 times the Americans have voted to open the government - 14 time the Hamas terrorist democrats blocked the bill that Ayatollah Schumer wrote and democrats passed 3 times in the past.
All because you terrorists are holding America hostage for a $1.5 trillion ransom.
democrats don't give a fuck if American children starve, they only serve the illegal aliens.

I think their electing more Republicans and Trump tells you everything you need to know.
No, that's the Democrat(ic) party.

Why would they be? Blue state welfare-for-life losers and career criminals benefited more from expanded Medicaid in far larger numbers while those actually having to PAY for a policy saw costs rise and their coverage go from decent to 'I got fucked.'
Politics. It's that simple.
No. A government program, once started, is nearly impossible to kill off.
An entrenched position in warfare is difficult and costly to take. An entrenched position in a bureaucracy is virtually impossible to defeat.

You need to ask the Red State people who consistently state they like and want it and that Trump and co fear mightily whenever they think their voters are going to mess with it.
You telling them they do not value is meaningless when it is clear they do.
Blue States also pay in the VAST VAST amount of money that pays for it BOTH in Red and Blue States. So the Blue States are just getting their money back mostly, and it Red states that are the welfare recipients.
That does not answer the question. If the ObamaCare is so terrible then it must be easy to craft a better program. If it is not easy that means people cannot think of ways to improve it.
There is no politics, NONE, that would say to the Magat party to keep a more popular program they had in the wings secret for over a decade.
Let me rephrase as Magats and you are stupid so you might indeed think it is good politics to have a superior policy that you know voters would like more, a secret.
Not if you are replacing it with a better one. NO one is going to complain about something that is better. What you are saying is true only if you kill it with no better option coming in.
But again, i must defer to my prior point. You magats are stupid so you might believe replacing Obamacare with something voters like more would be bad politics.

Because it didn't fix anything. If anything, it's made things worse and far more expensive. That's why the Democrats want $1.5 trillion in new spending to prop it up.
And?
The people's representatives--we have a representative democracy--decided to pass this in a one-sided action. It can as easily be "killed" as it was to vote it in to begin with.
It isn't a "good program." It thoroughly and totally sucks and it's quite literally unaffordable.

Oh, so based solely on popularity we should bankrupt the nation to continue to pay for Obamacare hum? What other stupid but popular policies should we as a nation continue because they are popular but unaffordable?
Well, the blue states get the lion's share of subsidies for Obamacare in return.
Note how the blue states have lower policy costs while having far greater numbers on Obamacare. This is because they more heavily subsidize those along with having fully bought into expanded Medicare that they need federal mega-dollars to prop up.
No, it isn't going to be easy. Even I can think of ways to do it better (and have) but the Democrats, in particular the Left, would never go along with it since my ideas involve minimizing government involvement, using market forces, de-socializing health payment systems, and relying on the individual to manage their health care costs.
An irrelevant appeal to popularity.
Good politics =/= good economic policy
It could be done but the morons in Dirty City and the optics and politics of it probably prevent anything useful from occurring.
It is the Left that's utterly and completely stupid here. They think the money to prop up a bad system is endless. They think that socialized health insurance and care are the optimal means to provide these things. The government sucks at operating such systems. That has been proven repeatedly, and not just in the US. But politics will not let something better occur.

I give a shit about people. The Democrats, Left, and YOU only see "voters." You don't give a shit about people either other than how they can help you and your political buddies stay in power.
Trump said he will fix Obamacare. The best way to fix is to repeal it.
With what money?
The money in reserves for this instance.

You need to stay on point as yes 'popularity' is exactly the point for a program utilizing citizen taxpayer money and how those citizens want that money used. ObamaCare is not unaffordable if the government prioritizes it over wasteful spending in other areas such as the military.Oh, so based solely on popularity we should bankrupt the nation to continue to pay for Obamacare hum? What other stupid but popular policies should we as a nation continue because they are popular but unaffordable?

What, other than is what citizens WANT (popularity) should be the priority for their own tax dollars.
Oh and take your propaganda elsewhere as Red States rely on Obamacare more while Blue States provide most of the money paying for it and subsidizing Red States.
---------
Ai Summary:
Red states rely on the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) marketplace plans and associated subsidies the most.
Key factors contributing to this trend include:
- Higher Enrollment Rates: Red states have seen a significantly larger increase in ACA marketplace enrollment in recent years. Since 2020, enrollment has grown by an average of 157% in states carried by President Trump, compared to only 36% in states carried by former Vice President Kamala Harris.
- Increased Use of Subsidies: Residents in red states utilize premium tax credits almost twice as frequently as those in blue states. The average monthly benefit from these tax credits is also higher in red states (around $580 per month).
- Medicaid Expansion Decisions: Many red states initially opted not to expand Medicaid under the ACA, which resulted in more of their low-to-middle-income populations using the federal marketplace and relying heavily on its subsidies to afford coverage.
- Affected Population: A majority of the people using the ACA live in Republican congressional districts, meaning that potential cuts or the expiration of enhanced subsidies would disproportionately affect residents in these areas. The top states with the highest enrollment increases are largely red states like Texas, Mississippi, West Virginia, and Georgia.
