On the recordDecember 17, 2025
Republicans just passed their big, ugly law that rips Medicaid by nearly a trillion dollars, adds 15 million people uninsured, and raises costs for everybody. Now, to add insult to injury, they refuse to extend the Affordable Care Act. This bill that they want to replace it with is a bamboozle. It is a hoodwink. It is a scam for the American people. It promotes junk plans that rip off the American people. It does not cover essential health benefits. It allows them to discriminate against people with preexisting conditions, increases out-of-pocket costs, and will lead to millions more uninsured.
