I don't usually like to cite these polls.
Extending these ACA premiums, which will dramatically cause the rates to rise for everyone that they can't afford it, or they have to sit down and say, oh, God, I'll have to really cut back.
I can't go to the doctor or hospital I want to go to.
I have to pay much more in co-pays and in deductibles.
It's bad for everyone.
It's happening already.
Emergency rooms are closing.
Community health centers, which as you know, are the cheaper way because it's not a big hospital.
It's like a drop-in clinic.
They're closing left and right.
It's terrible.
And so...
This is just something we feel we are doing our job in representing the American people.
And what I was telling you was, so extending the ACA credits, over 90% of Americans want it.
But here's sort of the interesting thing.
55% of the people who voted for Trump, so they're hardly pleading heart liberals, want it, want it extended.
So the Republicans are misreading how bad this is.
But...
day by day more and more people are getting these notices by october thirty first everyone who has any health insurance will be getting these notices it's already when i go out around my state and other states this is what people are talking about and uh... it's gonna people you know are are are hope is and more than hope our belief is strong belief that this is so bad
that people, Democrat, Republican, Independent, will go to their congressmen and senators and say, fix it.
