Republican "concern." It's just SO f*cking PRECIOUS and ADORABLE. They're "concerned" about the Midterms! [View all]

It's like the old joke, guy goes to his doctor and raises his arm and says "Doc, it hurts when I go like this," and the doctor says "Then don't go like that."

Republicans are "concerned" about the Midterms while bending over tens of millions of Americans and plowing their North 40 over healthcare. They're CONCERNED, dammit!


The White House fears the Democrats' health care message is connecting with voters over the GOP's claims about the shutdown, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.

"Advisers are worried that the GOP will take the blame for allowing healthcare subsidies to expire, raising costs for millions of Americans ahead of next year’s midterm elections, according to administration officials," the report said.

There is concern that the healthcare debate could ultimately hurt Republicans in the midterms.

The Democrats are demanding that Congress pass a continuing resolution to raise the debt ceiling only if they reestablish the subsidies for the Affordable Care Act, which are set to expire at the end of the year. As open enrollment begins, healthcare companies are providing price quotes based on the subsidies being withdrawn, meaning health insurance premiums will increase. The Kaiser Family Foundation research team reported last month that premiums are expected to double in 2026 without the tax credits.
