Summary
Within 48 hours of taking office, Donald Trump signed executive orders reversing Biden-era policies that expanded healthcare access, threatening coverage for over 20 million Americans.
These orders weaken the Affordable Care Act (ACA) by tightening eligibility, reducing Medicaid funding, and repealing measures like the American Rescue Plan Act subsidies and postpartum Medicaid extensions.
Critics warn these actions will increase barriers to healthcare, raise insurance premiums, and lead to more medical debt.
Privatized insurers may gain more control, further escalating costs for remaining coverage options.
As intended.
And as intended.
If you’re not a billionaire, you will be a serf, a slave, or a corpse.
Yep.
The class war is already happening, and the moneyed class is winning it because they’re the only ones fighting it.
20 million vs 20 with billions.
I wonder who would actually win
The ones with endless resources
The 20 with billions.
They likely couldn’t win - at least couldn’t be sure of winning - on the at least somewhat level and rules-based playing field US law and policy established, which is exactly why they’re currently focusing on co-opting or destroying all of that.
By the time they’re done reshaping government and society, they’re going to be unstoppable. By design.
