As we mentioned a few days ago, the MSM repeats lies told by partisans. These are "Lies by Omission"; they do not tell ALL of the truth because SOME of the truth serves their partisan purpose.
So it goes in this story on Obozocare from Fox6:
Enhanced tax credits that helped subsidize the cost of Affordable Care Act health insurance for more people expired as the calendar turned to 2026. ...
That part is true.
... The new year's sticker shock is another factor in the fight over affordability,...
(The reporter could have said "...fight over welfare...." because that's what Obozocare really is. Instead, the reporter fell into the trap of using partisan terms, which always distort the discussion. And if you don't like the term "welfare," you now understand this digression.)
The story continues with a quote from a woman whose premiums will go up. Unfortunately, the quote lacks very important context. We know that the increased subsidies (welfare) went into effect in '21 due solely to Covid. So when did this woman begin her Obamacare coverage? Before or after the '21 increase in welfare? That matters, because if it was before, she knew damn well what would happen after Covid.
The reporter then quotes the Wisconsin Insurance Commissioner's office to the effect that premiums are going up--by a lot--for certain small, selected classes of Wisconsinites. Again, the context of "pre-" and "post-" Covid is woefully lacking, but even then, as we mentioned a few days ago:
... The much larger premium payments showcased by media outlets are outliers who comprise less than 0.1% of the U.S. population, are nearly old enough to receive Medicare, and have incomes that exceed four times the federal poverty level....
But in fact, all those people, both the one interviewed AND the mythical "Waukesha County" residents, are still on welfare, as taxpayers pick up EIGHTY-THREE PERCENT of their Obozocare cost.
Somehow, that fact was not mentioned in the story.
Trust the MSM???
Hell, no.
