There really is no nice way to put it: Republicans are assholes. Back with ACA, the risk reduction pools were called insurance company bailouts. And Republicans sabotaged it by drastically defunding it. And right now? Oh, we'll just bump those subsidies right back up to stabilize the market, make us look like fucking heros! This is market stabilizing now. Dicks.
This is what's insidious about them: it's not that they're stupid. They think everyone else is stupid, and won't learn about these things, and they'll get away with it.
We don't need you to be nice, but we do need to post civilly and substantively, and this doesn't cross that bar. We have to ask you again to comment within the guidelines or not at all.
