The party who is running the country does in theory have an obligation to all Americans, the opposition has an obligation to their own block.
Hateful and incompetent is how most people would describe that.
About a decade ago, Tea Party Republicans were in the minority, they refused to approve the budget as the Democrats are doing now.
At that time, Democrats accused the Republicans of ‘holding the government hostage’. Now the roles are exactly reversed.
It’s games as usual.
Also, isn’t it true that the expiring credits are for people who earn more money than ACA allowed? ( In other words, the poor still get assistance.)
Please provide receipts if there are other aspects to be considered.
So? There's no rule that temporary things can't later become permanent.
For example the Trump tax cuts from 2017 were supposed to temporary, expiring this year. The "Big Beautiful Bill" made them permanent.
Also the healthcare part is not just letting temporary COVID era credits expire. It also includes cuts to Medicaid.
