Subject: Re: The Affordability Tour Kicks Off
albaby1,
That's an interesting and informative take. IOW this is a really really complex issue and can't be solved by easy pat answers. It involves many different aspects and dimensions of our society and economy.
That's why I think currently the politician who is making the most sense about what to do between now and December 31 is John Fetterman.
Because there isn't really enough time to figure out a long term solution between now and year end, he advocates extending the current enhanced ACA benefits at least through the end of 2026, but even for two or three more years if there can be bi-partisan support for it.
This obviously makes the most sense, right now. This will at least maintain the status quo and give the players more time to actually work out a longer-term approach.
This is probably why Fetterman is a pariah in the Democrat party and probably won't run again.
He makes too much sense.
