1. La Estrategia Republicana: Rehenes y Crueldad.
Los republicanos, liderados por Trump, utilizaron los beneficios SNAP (asistencia alimentaria) como herramienta de chantaje para forzar a los demócratas a ceder en la extensión de los subsidios del ACA, demostrando una disposición a infligir sufrimiento a los ciudadanos vulnerables.
- Republicans are holding snap benefits hostage from americans in order to make the opposition bend.
- Republicans are taking away funding from snap so they have leverage to use against democrats. Its disgusting.
- Trump administration trying to hold the snap recipients hostage in order to force the democrats to cave on health care.
- Republicans are not going to fund snap benefits with the contingency fund for november. They want people to suffer because they know that dems do not.
- Republicans are trying to strip americans of their healthcare & other benefits like snap. They want to end aca subsidies that made it easier for you to sign up for healthcare.
2. La Postura Demócrata: Resistencia vs. Cesión.
Los demócratas enfrentaron un dilema moral: ceder para restaurar SNAP y evitar el hambre inmediata, o mantener la línea para proteger los subsidios del ACA y evitar el aumento de los costos de la atención médica a largo plazo. La decisión de ceder generó frustración entre algunos votantes.
- If the dems give in, we lose aca, medicaid and snap.
- Dems are trying to save aca to save lives. Republicans are taking away funding from snap so they have leverage to use against democrats. Its disgusting.
- Snap vs aca subsidies is not an easy decision. But those aca subsidies are going to take a toll on families.
- I am a snap recipient and i will continue not receiving it if it saves my healthcare. Hold strong chuck.
- If democrats cave, then not only will snap benefits be severely cut again, there is no way that republicans will allow aca subsidies to continue and millions of americans will lose both snap and healthcare.
3. Consecuencias para los Beneficiarios.
La población más afectada son aquellos que dependen tanto de SNAP para la alimentación como de los subsidios del ACA para la atención médica. La pérdida de estos beneficios simultáneamente amenaza con la ruina financiera, la enfermedad y el hambre, especialmente en los estados rojos.
- The venn diagram between snap recipients and ama insured is nearly a perfect circle.
- If they cave, what would have been the fucking point of this?! 24 million people will find their health insurance premiums unaffordable. And republicans will find ways to starve snap recipients.
- Millions of people just had snap benefits cut off. Republicans are forcing democrats to choose between protecting healthcare for poor people or feeding poor people.
- If the dems trade away the aca for snap, we deserve everything we get.
- The same people who need snap benefits also need aca subsidies.
4. El Resultado de la Negociación y la Crítica.
La eventual capitulación de algunos demócratas resultó en la reapertura del gobierno y la financiación de SNAP (a menudo hasta 2026), pero a cambio de una promesa vaga de una votación futura sobre los subsidios del ACA, lo que muchos críticos vieron como una pérdida de influencia crucial.
- Snap funding for a year means this wasnt a total loss.
- Dems caved. But is it a mistake? its hard to negotiate with a party led by a sociopath.
- Snap is funded for a full year, government workers get their back pay and some breathing space, and democrats can pick this back up in.
- Dems caved, didnt get aca. Those people went a month without pay for literally nothing.
- The dems got nothing for their concessions but a promise to vote on aca extension - but mike johnson already said he wont hold a vote.
