Sen Murphy warns 'people are going to die' as Congress punts on expiring Obamacare subsidies

Both parties agree premium spikes will hurt Americans but point fingers at who is to blame

A bipartisan Obamacare fix remains out of reach in the Senate, for now, and lawmakers can’t agree on who is at fault.

While many agree that the forthcoming healthcare cliff will cause financial pain, the partisan divide quickly devolved into pointing the finger across the aisle at who owns the looming healthcare premium spikes that Americans who use the healthcare exchange will face.

Part of the finger-pointing has yielded another surprising agreement: Lawmakers don’t see the fast-approaching expiration of the Biden-era enhanced Obamacare subsidies as Congress failing to act in time.

"Obviously, it's not a failure of Congress to act," Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., told Fox News Digital. "It's a failure of Republicans to act. Democrats are united and wanting to expand subsidies. Republicans want premium increases to go up."

Senate Republicans and Democrats both tried, and failed, to advance their own partisan plans to replace or extend the subsidies earlier this month. And since then, no action has been taken to deal with the fast-approaching issue, guaranteeing that the subsidies will lapse at the end of the year.

If anyone actually dies (which is unlikely, because people still receive some medical care even if they're indigent), it's on the Obama Democrats for creating this ridiculous unaffordable "affordable" health insurance plan with an expiration date.

Obamacare was meant to wreak havoc on the economy.  It was never about affordable health care.  As for dying -- the DEMS could care less.

People are going to die regardless, and no one can do anything about it.
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Remember, the democrats don’t believe that those babies are people. Let Obamacare die, the way it killed so many small rural practices, clinics and forced older practitioners to retire because they could afford the outlay for what Obamacare required like electronic record keeping if they wanted Medicare payments, for the short years they still planned to practice.

I remember Pelosi saying that Obamacare had to be passed to find out what was in it, well it was and we did. What was in it was one hand full of promises and lies and the other hand full of SH!T.

People are not going to die because they don’t get welfare payments for Obamacare.  They won’t get their annual mammograms (whether they’re male or female), but if they’re at deaths door, the emergency room has to take them, insurance or no insurance.

Don’t let the Minnesota fraud circus pull your eyes away from the REAL bombshell.  Obamacare is now tied to $47+ BILLION in missing, outright fraudulent money — in just ONE year. That’s the game.
They shove Tim Walz into the spotlight to distract you while Obamacare laundering quietly bankrolls the DNC and the Uniparty, especially now that USAID cash has been cut off. ...
