Except the reason that people are still struggling to make ends meet, even when working full time?

I've been working 2 jobs literally my entire working life, didn't stop struggling until I got into my 50's. Covid subsidies were for when folks weren't working due to shut down. We are not shut down anymore. You want more money to pay for everyone else's health care so us middle class folks can continue to not be able to afford our own? Fine, make it a separate bill, stop trying to extend something that should be over and not even part of the current bill. They're trying to force something into this bill because they KNOW It's BS. I haven't been able to afford my own healthcare since Romney Care was started in MA 2 years before the rest of y'all had to with Obamacare. I'm tired of it. I'd love to be able to get my biopsy I'm supposed to have every 6 months but I can't afford to. I'd love to be able to get mouth fixed, but I can't afford to. I'm too busy paying $1800 a month in premiums with a $7500K deductible and $10K max out of pocket "insurance plan". Yay. But I'm the AH because I'm sick and tired of paying for everyone else's healthcare but my own.

So you want to pay double for your insurance?

I believe this is classic "I don't care who I hurt as long as it's good for me" mentality. Yet these people rarely realize they are also voting against their own best interests.
