11. Aren't the subsidies just reverting to

what they'd have been in 2020? Presumably inflation adjusted in some way, but the media reports have blurred the line between the enhanced COVID-era 'temporary' subsidy and the original base-line pre-COVID subsidies.

I honestly haven't been able to tease out what the baseline would be; it's in the interest of advocates to merge them to an all-or-nothing scenario because a all-or-some scenario is just more complicated and probably too clumsy to serve as a clear message, so while some reports indicate a distinction one or two clauses later that distinction's blurred.
