Contributing sentiments towards policy:
59% : And Obamacare is wildly popular, with about 74 percent of voters supporting extending the subsidies, and even half of Republicans.55% : KFF found that for a 60-year-old couple making $85,000 a year, losing the enhanced tax credits would increase their premiums by about $1,900 per month.
54% : But that would require doing a socialism!
52% : Then after the tax credits expire, premiums will be more than doubling, up 114 percent, says KKF (which is formerly the Kaiser Family Foundation, but just going by letters now).
38% : And now a record 44 House members have announced they will retire; Republican Dan Newhouse of Washington, one of the last remaining Trump-impeachment voters, is the latest.
37% : Now, a day after the end of Affordable Care Act open enrollment, four of them -- Brian Fitzpatrick, Robert Bresnahan and Ryan Mackenzie of Pennsylvania, and Mike Lawler of New York -- have defied Johnson's orders to euthanize the issue and signed a discharge petition, forcing a vote on a three-year extension on Obamacare subsidies.
