Obamacare – the so-called Affordable Care Act – is neither affordable nor sustainable. Yet Democrats have shut down the government because they want to keep pouring taxpayer dollars into subsidies so Americans and illegal aliens can keep getting medical care from a sinking ship.

In Michigan, insurers on the ACA Marketplace are announcing rate hikes north of 20%. Why? Because the temporary “enhanced” subsidies – passed during the pandemic years – are set to expire at the end of 2025, which forces insurers to cover more risk without as much federal cushion.

Obamacare is not something that American taxpayers can afford to subsidize indefinitely. And Democrats know that. Their goal? To destroy the healthcare industry once and for all so that the government can take over the entire industry. THAT has always been the goal.

When a law sold as “affordable” keeps bleeding cash, driving premiums through the roof, and scaring off insurers, it’s not reform – it’s collapsing in slow motion. Obamacare isn’t limping toward sustainability; it’s sprinting toward insolvency.

The entire system is on life support, and Democrats keep yanking the taxpayer IV to keep it going. At some point, someone’s got to pull the plug and admit what everyone already knows: the so-called Affordable Care Act is beyond saving – and it’s time to let it sink.
