The Affordable Care Act (ACA) needs subsidies to make health insurance affordable for people who cannot otherwise afford it

So in other words, it failed. You left out that part.

Since it was designed to be a subsidy, please explain in excruciating detail how that is a failure.

"Top US health insurers' profits surged after the Affordable Care Act (ACA) due to a significant increase in government-funded programs like Medicaid expansion, strategic mergers and acquisitions, and a shift towards private insurance plans with higher premiums and deductibles
. The ACA expanded the number of people with insurance, boosting overall revenue, while subsidies and higher payments for Medicaid managed care provided a massive financial influx for insurers."

A good reason to move to single payer. :P So why hasn't trump come up with a plan? Or, for that matter, why hasn't Dope come up with a plan? Mine would be to copy Norway, or discuss known countries plans, see which one affords good care and is more easily implemented, and do it.

The rest is just a crap rant on your part, but I let you rant.

You're the one who put all these topics in here. Not me.

Speculative fiction.

The sentiment on the economy is bad.

The freight industry, often a leading indicator, shows an "epic collapse" in demand and indicates an underlying weakness in the physical goods economy. Housing isn't doing well. People who lose jobs are finding it hard(er) to find new ones. Fortunately, Trump can't kill the thriving Biden economy quickly. ;P

The primary "freight problem" in 2025 is a "historic freight recession" characterized by an oversupply of capacity and stagnant freight rates, while operational costs (insurance, fuel, labor) continue to rise. This dynamic is squeezing carrier profit margins and leading to increased bankruptcies. (Tariffs did not help here) freightwaves.com - Navigating the trenches truckings rocky road in
