      mistake

      like there’s a part of the most scrutinized, debated piece of legislation in the last 50 years that just whoopsiedoodle forgot to do the thing that was the primary purpose of the bill. that was no mistake, that was american citizens being sold down the river.

        The ACA has subsidies for health insurance that increase the lower your income is. Except if your income is too low, then you get no help affording health insurance. There’s millions of Americans in this pit.

          If your income is that low you should qualify for Medicaid theoretically. Not that that isn’t its own hell to get and keep with red states kicking people off for simple paperwork issues. 'Merica.

            Yeah, that was the mistake. In many states poverty doesnt qualify you for medicaid. The ACA assumes that it does. Biden promised to fix that.
