Some Americans would deny vital health care coverage to over 25 million fellow Americans. Everyone in the US how has medical coverage gets financial subsidies to pay for all or part of their monthly medical insurance premiums. I pay 650. monthly for medical insurance for 2 people and the employer pays the same, which is a 6800.monetary "gift" to us annually  we do not pay income tax on. Native Health, VA, Medicare, State ad federal employee's and all those programs similar offer "free" or partial payments of medical insurance and medical care. Congress voted themselves a sweet deal, medical coverage for life. Most American's have coverage. The low % that do not are many working folks who do not have medical insurance offered at their jobs. This was an easy fix and a program that could be there for folks who lost their jobs and medical ins.at the same time and would be able to use the ACA. What happened to a simple idea?  Ridiculous politics on steroids.
