Obamacare was passed by Democrats.
The Obamacare tax credits were passed by Democrats during COVID and slated to expire at the end of this year.
Since Obamacare took effect, healthcare premiums have risen by over 60%.

Republicans have blocked a lot of the efforts to build upon the work of Obamacare.

Because before Obamacare, insurance companies could discriminate against people on the basis of pre-existing conditions.
20 plus million Americans were uninsured and they would just die.
They would die because they didn't have health care.
And premiums were through the roof and were very, very, very expensive.
