The White House has shown little urgency in extending the subsidies until shutdown ends.

Republicans are barreling toward the upcoming Obamacare enrollment period without a unified plan to address the sticker shock that millions of Americans are likely to experience due to the expiration of key federal subsidies.

The lack of direction comes from the top, with Trump not providing clear guidance to his party on how he wants to deal with the expiring subsidies that could result in dramatic out-of-pocket price hikes for enrollees.

    The government cannot afford to keep subsidizing people’s lifestyles. If you want to be healthy then you need to pay for it. Because we have to build a giant gold ball room baby! It’s going to be gorgeous and we are not invited.
