Donald Trump appears poised to announce a two-year extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies, due to expire at the end of December, while setting new limits on who is eligible to receive the tax credits, according to reports.

Without an extension of Covid-19-era Obamacare subsidies, insurance premiums for nearly 22 million American citizens threaten to more than double early next year, a point made repeatedly by Democrats during the recent 43-day government shutdown, who refused to sign a stopgap spending bill that did not address the problem.

      I notice you’re still talking, but there’s really no need.

      Keep trying those AI girlfriend things, maybe that’ll keep you occupied until your next bout of glossolalia.

        How observant of you, though you do get that sword cuts both ways. Right?

        So now I’m a man? Cool, thanks for the update stranger.

          Well, only if homosexuals don’t exist. But I gotta tell ya, I don’t go in for that kind of bigotry, okay?

          I mean, not cool man. Not cool. Open your mind, okay. It’s not all about you.

            Now I’m a homosexual? Goddamn I’m learning so much about myself. You don’t go for that kind of bigotry but you jump directly to it when you feel slighted? Hate to tell you, you’re bigot.

            It’s not all about me but the things you direct at me towards me certainly are, try harder bud. You find the bottom of that hole yet boss?
