The ACA subsidies are another step in the right direction towards MFA, and removing them will trigger widespread suffering across party lines.

Dems will have an opening to push to restore the subsidies, and down the road, to “expand” them to include more/all people.

The slogans write themselves: “ why should corporations get all the subsidies? Now subsidies can go directly to the people themselves” (but not the $2000 checks Trump wants)
