What Are Democrats Asking For [View all]

Is there a list of demands? The only issue I have heard of is making the Obamacare subsidies permanent.

I mean time is growing short to just get that. Insurers are meeting now to set premiums and deductibles. Open enrollment for Obamacare in Idaho begins the middle of October, most of the other states it begins Nov. 1st.

Medicaid cuts will amount to 1 trillion dollars according to the Kaiser Family Foundation but those cuts don't happen until December 2026.
The problem is that a few states are already making cuts to Medicaid in anticipation of losing the federal money.

There is talk of Medicare being slashed to not cover as many procedures.

Obamacare, Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP are all being gashed in HR1 that became law. The goal of Project 2025 is to kill unwashed Americans.

So if Magats agree to fund the Obamacare subsidies and the country reopens, what's to stop Krasnov from rescinding the money later?

This country needs an Alexei Novalny to organize a revolution.
