Kansas Rep. Sharice Davids Disputes MAGA On 'Affordability' & ACA Subsidies

Today's dead-tree media note from the JoCo politico . . . 

"This month, President Donald Trump called affordability a “hoax,” a “con job” and a “scam.” Meanwhile, Kansas families are struggling to keep up with skyrocketing costs, especially during the holidays.

"In Washington, too many decision-makers simply don’t feel these price increases themselves. When you’re wealthy and insulated, affordability becomes just another message in a polished campaign ad — not a reality you have to live with.

"And we see it from both parties. Just this week, after promising signals — even from the president — about extending Affordable Care Act health care tax breaks, both parties fell back into partisan bills that were never going anywhere. Meanwhile, families face premiums that could double on Jan. 1. I’m supporting bipartisan legislation to actually get this done, but that’s not what we’re seeing from politicians who have never had to worry about a health insurance bill."
