NBC: A Poll finds a majority of Trump supporters back extending Obamacare subsidies...



X's Grok AI says:
According to 2025 data from CMS and KFF, about 45 million Americans have coverage through the ACA (Marketplace plans or Medicaid expansion). With a US population of around 343 million, that's approximately 13%

As for what is Medicad expansion, it said:

Medicaid expansion under the ACA lets states extend coverage to adults aged 19-64 with incomes up to 138% of the federal poverty level (about $20,780 for an individual in 2025). This targets low-income people not previously eligible. As of 2025, 41 states and DC have adopted it, covering around 23 million additional enrollees per KFF and CMS data.

( I recommend ignoring the replies of all the bots and toxic Magats )



My guess is that Dumpf's hostility towards this is rooted in Obama envy and the fact it helps "lower income people," obviously not HIS kind of people

Expect most of the press to report correctly on health care. They aren’t doing it.
