GOP opposed Obamacare for being big government… now we have TrumpRx, a government-run drug program. Cool.

Self-pay patient here: quoted $2,960.24, paid in full, then billed $1,183 more after the procedure for an undisclosed physician fee. This is why #PriceTransparency in healthcare still doesn’t exist. #HealthcareCosts #healthcare #HealthCareFail

Starting in 2026, my family will have no health insurance. It’s a gamble we never chose. We’re left praying no major illness hits because that’s what the system offers the working self-employed. Once again, the middle gets crushed. Both parties failed us. #ACA #SelfEmployed

@Rep_Clyde @HouseGOP @WhiteHouse Members of congress keep taxpayer- funded FEHB plans (75% premiums covered). Self employed Georgians face $2,100 month premiums $19,000 deductibles. Your $1,500 HSA joke doesn’t cover ONE month. #SelfEmployed #ACA #Midterms2026 #middleclass

People who buy their own insurance know the truth: HSAs don’t make plans cheaper. They don’t lower premiums or deductibles. They’re a savings account, not a solution to $2,000 monthly premiums. That’s the part politicians never talk about. @WhiteHouse @HouseGOP @SenateGOP

It’s unbelievable that Republicans have had years to offer a real health care plan, and their “solution” is to take us back to pre-ACA days. The free market won’t lower costs or protect preexisting conditions. Congress should try living on the $1,500 a year they’re proposing.

The Health Care Freedom for Patients Act from @SenBillCassidy and @MikeCrapo doesn’t fix anything. $1,000–$1,500 a year won’t touch premiums that cost families over $1,000/month. Forcing families into bronze/catastrophic plans isn’t “freedom.

Congress keeps pretending they have until Dec 31 to act on ACA subsidies. But for real families, the deadline is Dec 15. If we can’t afford the new premiums by then, we lose coverage on Jan 1 — no matter what Congress does later. Extend it for a year and fix it.

Why can’t the U.S. adopt a model like the Netherlands? They use private insurance too — it’s just regulated so people actually get affordable coverage, reasonable deductibles, and far less insurance-company interference. If their system works, why can’t ours?

Every day it’s the blame game: left vs right. Real solutions for Americans? Nah, too much work. Fingers are easier to point.

Whatever system they propose for us — the free market, HSAs, whatever — every U.S. citizen, including every politician, should be on the same plan. No special coverage for anyone. @Rep_Clyde @SenateGOP @SenateDems @WhiteHouse

Power to the people!’ sounds great—until you realize self-employed families like ours can’t negotiate with insurance companies. Without ACA protections, pre-existing conditions mean no coverage, and premiums keep climbing. Who exactly is this helping? @WhiteHouse

Did you know the fees for Georgia Access — the state health insurance marketplace — are built into the premiums we pay? Consumers cover the administrative costs indirectly, meaning part of what we pay each month goes to running the system. #HealthInsurance #GeorgiaAccess

People say “just self-pay,” but one major illness can destroy you financially. And in your 50s, even catastrophic plans are expensive. The self-employed need true affordable insurance, not risky alternatives that leave you one diagnosis from medical debt. @SpeakerJohnson

Can’t wait for this great new health insurance plan Republicans have been promising. As a self-employed family paying our own way since 2004, I’m sure those lower premiums & no pre-existing denials are coming any day now. Both parties have failed families like ours.

Every issue turns into a fight between parties while regular Americans get left behind. Stop blaming each other and start fixing things. We deserve better than this endless political game.
