Lowering ACA premiums and increasing tax credits and increasing taxes on corporations may be "political theater" to you, but it's real to all the people affected. I would love to see Dems start doing much more of Sander's programs, but its nonsense that just because Biden didn't do a huge thing that (1) happen to affect you personally instead of other people, and (2) happen to be something that affected you AND you were paying attention to (e.g. tax credits), that he didn't do anything.
Lowering the ACA premiums and increasing some tax credits that could be easily Dodge by corporations was quite the accomplishment of one of the most Progressive administrations in American history.
I don't know why people are so upset about Universal Health Care or the government option that the Democrats were being on about during the 2020 election.
It's not like a Democrats allowed all of the protections protecting children from Child property to expire in 2022.
Certainly not like the tax credit was a feature of the Trump Administration that Biden then enhanced.
Doesn't address the very real problems with these services that every day Americans rely on
WTFLOL. How the fuck are corporations going to take away your legal tax credits? Do you even know how tax credits work?
So, let me make sure I got this right. Biden lowered the ACA premiums not by forcing the insurance companies to charge a lower premium, but by giving those insurance companies and the people they represent tax credits and from allowing those who take advantage of the ACA to take less from their income tax.
Yeah, this definitely represents the government option that he used to run on in 2020. Definitely helped a bunch of people who already couldn't afford healthcare. Im sure this did alleviate some pressure, but it doesnt affect the majority of people and, these tax credits are set to expire so it'll end up being a wash.
Nice, a problem that can be helped with electoral politics, not just on the federal level, but that can be done on the state and on the local too. So you do get the issues you just chose to no show because you are privileged and protected from the brunt of the punishment.
Yep voted in a blue wave federally and locally and this was the reward :)
Good show for electoralism
