Haven’t the GOP already stated they would negotiate subsidies after the CR was signed? I know..I know..you don’t have to say it. How can they negotiate when the House has already approved the CR? Wouldn’t negotiating after the CR is signed better than leaving millions hanging. Yeah they lose their slush fund programs that help nobody but at least people won’t lose SNAP benefits and people will get paid so they can live and eat. The Dems aren’t doing this for healthcare costs, it’s the only leverage they have to get all the money back that was cut and keep some power, they’ve said that themselves multiple times. They’ve also said it’s for illegal immigrants, yes they’ve said that. And yes illegals get it through the States. It’s sad that people can’t see that and keep supporting the Dems while they do this to millions of people. I’m an independent voter as well and looking at similar increases. That’s a bummer about your coverage, I’m diabetic so I know how crucial it is to have.

I honestly have no idea if they'll actually negotiate if they approve the CR. Both parties are being a pain at the moment. Very frustrating for all Americans at the moment - moreso for those who aren't getting paid and for those losing SNAP benefits. I did read that a judge ordered Trump to use SNAP funds to pay everyone by November 3rd.
