Rob Wittman keeps gaslighting about the ACA, but it isn't working

Well, to be fair, it's only because he's an incompetent, cruel President surrounded by opportunistic suck-ups.

Wittman is lying about healthcare - again. This one’s a doozy, too: he’s lying about why the problems exist *and* promoting β€œsolutions" that will make the problems WORSE. We’ve seen this level of deceit from Wittman a few times but even we are astounded by his brazenness here. Let’s deep dive... 🧡

We'll wait for the deep dive from @wittmanwatch.bsky.social

But, Rob's just throwing reheated, decades-old GOP spaghetti at the wall. (Competition! Choice! = You get less!) He's not restoring ACA subsidies, or he woulda said so. And he voted to give that $ to the rich in the One Big Stupid Bill.

On average, the cost of a premature baby staying in the NICU is $70,000 a day. Imagine wondering how you’re going to pay for that because you couldn’t afford your health insurance premiums.

Rob Wittman is taking another bogus poll about what he should focus on next year. The choices are a MAGA wish list. But there's an "other" space.
