Millions drop ACA coverage after Congress lets Obamacare subsidies expire

When Republicans deny health care to millions of Americans, the NY Times blames “Congress” rather than Republicans.

It's not hypothetical anymore. It's actually happening. Since Congress Let Obamacare Subsidies Expire, Millions Are Dropping Coverage, by @reedabelson.bsky.social @sangerkatz.bsky.social

Since Trump and GOP ended Obamacare Subsidies Expire, Millions Are Dropping Coverage. Trump has $ for his ballroom, Iran war, remodeling of Kennedy Center to honor himself but no $ for Americans who can't afford health insurance! www.nytimes.com/2026/05/01/b...

Congress didn't do this. The Republicans are killing people. Since Congress Let Obamacare Subsidies Expire, Millions Are Dropping Coverage www.nytimes.com/2026/05/01/b...

🔴 Millions are losing their health care. 🔴 Costs are rising for EVERYONE. 🔴 Insurers are leaving the marketplace. Shame on Republicans for creating this health care crisis and refusing to extend the ACA tax credits from my legislation. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/01/b...

Some red states are really hard hit. About a third of Georgians on ACA plans have dropped coverage. Republicans have shown their priorities. Billionaires, Trump monuments, and unwanted wars over us. Vote Dem in November. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/01/b...

“Congress” didn’t let ACA subsidies expire, Congressional Republicans did and people aren’t “dropping” their health coverage, they’ve been forced out by increased costs they cannot afford. “Congressional Republicans Force Millions of Americans Off Health Care” Fixed it for ya.

Gift link. Lets be clear, it's the Republicans in Congress who let the subsidies expire. Because unless you're directly advancing their free ride in congress, their supposed "career", or heaping money on them, they don't care if you live or die.

Millions off health care is OBSCENE! I cannot believe that most of these people all voted for Kamala- you know many of these folks were TRUMP Supporters....who HATE ObamaCare but LOVE the ACA 🤦‍♀️ Well they are all F'd now. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/01/b...

www.nytimes.com/2026/05/01/b... (Free NYTimes article) The rising cost of #healthcare has shown up as a top concern among Americans while millions loose their coverage. But #tRump can spend $ on war, ballrooms and tax breaks to billionaires. #VOTE #Midterms

“One analysis, by Wakely Consulting Group, a firm with access to detailed insurance industry data, estimates that [health insurance] coverage in the marketplaces will drop by as much as 26 percent this year compared with last year’s average enrollment.” www.nytimes.com/2026/05/01/b...

So much for the regime giving a rat's ass for prevention of chronic illness, huh. Expect this to affect everything from ER wait times to mortality rates/longevity - and, more broadly, class disparities in quality of life. 🔹️Insurers and analysts estimate... 🧵1/5 www.nytimes.com/2026/05/01/b...

“The insurers and state officials said early retirees with middle-class incomes, who faced the largest increases in premiums, appeared to be among the hardest hit. In some markets, the cost of insurance for this group rose by $1,000 a month or more. #healthcare
