You will not be surprised to learn that a LOT of insurance company revenue and profit is behind the Schumer Shutdown. ObamaCare created another monster and that monster likes to eat--a lot.
By no co-incidence, insurance company stocks have been spectacular performers. (Maybe check Pelosi's portfolio....)
...Democrats in Congress are repaying [insurers' large contributions to CA redistricting] by shutting down the government in order to keep $400 billion in Obamacare subsidies flowing from the American taxpayer to the insurance companies—and thus back to Democrats.
These are temporary COVID-era enhanced subsidies that the Democrats and their insurance company benefactors want to make permanent. Insurers have been surreptitiously enrolling people who aren’t even aware they have coverage and don’t use the policies, thus pouring more federal cash into insurance company coffers without requiring any outlays on the insurers’ part. This is a scam whose scale and duplicity is only achievable at the intersection of corporate cronyism and a bloated federal budget.
And the political patronage doesn’t stop there. Health insurers are already paying back the Democrats. This year, they’re hiking Obamacare premiums by 26 percent, even though overall U.S. health care costs are up only about 6 percent.
That’s a sharp contrast to last year, when insurers held premium hikes to just 4 percent as Joe Biden and Kamala Harris ran for re-election....
Screwing US citizens, the military, and government employees in order to pay off contributors?
That's classic D.C.
We elected Trump to fix that problem. So we join with Ron Johnson:
KILL THE FILIBUSTER.
