If Obamacare were truly affordable, we wouldn’t be talking about subsidies.
15 years later, the so-called “Affordable Care Act” is anything but. Now, Dems are desperately distracting you from their failed policies.🧵⬇️

With the average cost of family health insurance soaring to $27,000, it shouldn’t be a surprise that nearly half of Americans say they find it difficult to afford healthcare costs.
Following the implementation of Obamacare, healthcare costs have rapidly outpaced inflation.

While Dems have spent weeks blaming Republicans for premium increases, they’re ignoring that they are responsible for the policies that have created this mess.
They broke our healthcare system by outlawing short-term, low-cost plans favored by millions, & then for years tried to use subsidies as a bandage at the expense of American taxpayers.
❌ Premiums for individual market plans have doubled.
❌ Seven million Americans lost their preferred plans.
❌ Obamacare’s individual market struggled with enrollment—meaning consumers were forced to pay more for lower-quality care with more restrictions.

Dems in Congress have known for a while that Obamacare is collapsing under its own weight, but with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, they saw an opportunity to hide it.
Democrats slapped a new coat of paint on a rotting wall by instituting “temporary” COVID credits—misleading the American people. ⬇️
Dems are actively pinning the blame for the upcoming COVID credit expiration on Republicans, fully knowing they are the Party that set the timeline and end date.
They conveniently leave out that these subsidies are paid directly to insurers—not patients. ⬇️
Last year, insurers received $35 billion in subsidies to cover patients who filed no medical claims—meaning the insurers received billions in government reimbursement for enrollees who cost these insurance companies almost nothing.
Yet your premiums are still going up.

Dems have spent weeks trying to convince the American people that extending these credits is the ONLY way to prevent healthcare premiums from skyrocketing.
That’s blatantly false.
Only 3.3% of 2026 Obamacare premium increases are related to the expiring COVID credits.

Healthcare costs are expected to rise in 2026 by almost 18%, but again, Dems aren’t being honest about why:
-Structural flaws in Obamacare
-Surging medical costs tied to Bidenflation
-Costly new drugs and therapies

Not to mention the rampant waste, fraud & abuse under these Democrat subsidies & Obamacare at large.
Just this year, nearly 6.4 million individuals were improperly enrolled in Obamacare—totaling $27 billion in wasted taxpayer dollars.

Dems are insisting on keeping the government shut down because they are demanding Republicans fix a problem they created & then tried to cover up with massive amounts of YOUR tax dollars.
Senate Republicans want to lower the cost of healthcare to ensure Americans have access to high-quality care that they can afford.
But one thing is clear: doubling down on Dems’ failed policies isn’t the answer.
