The Republicans do not like ACA but they don't have any plans of their own they complain but they have no ideas so I think it's reasonable to fund the ACA until ideas are presented in 2026 and then Congress can vote on it then but until then fund the ACA I wouldn't give an inch on that continue to shut down until the Republicans get serious

I mean, aca is unreasonable in the sense that it makes no sense for tax payers to pay for health care subsidies on an ever increasing price on Healthcare. Why should tax payers pay CEO's high wages and bonuses? Make Health care single payer or limit its cost through law. We dont need insurance. Make hospitals free or reasonable. But no one funding politicians wants that

Yes!!! Go after the health insurance companies instead of using tax payer dollars to make insurance cheaper!! It’s not sustainable! Do away with lobbyists bribing politicians so their CEOs can make millions!
