White House weighs risks of a health care fight as ACA subsidies set to expire

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The White House is wary that the current debate around health care subsidies could go the way of Republicans’ failure to repeal Obamacare that fueled Democrats’ return to power in 2018.

If only it were that simple.

The administration is also contending with differing opinions over the political ramifications of the subsidies expiring, the question of whether President Donald Trump’s engagement might be unproductive on the Hill and the reality that Trump, behind the scenes, likely knows something must be done to prevent the premium spike some Americans would see.

As congressional Republicans duke out their intraparty divisions on how to address the expiration of some Affordable Care Act subsidies, administration officials don’t believe Trump should engage — more than he already has. That’s because they’re fearful of the president getting yoked into a messy health care fight, according to two people close to the White House and another person familiar with health care conversations between the White House and the Hill, granted anonymity to discuss them.

2. Allow me to provide clarity into the very complex political calculations described in the article

for those aren't able to follow the arcane workings in play:

1) A whole bunch of Americans are going to be pissed
2) The people in Trump's orbit don't want those people to be pissed at Trump, cause it'll put him in a bad mood
3) So they want him to STFU about the subject in hopes he won't be the subject of their ire

Also "Republicans’ failure to repeal Obamacare that fueled Democrats’ return to power in 2018."?

The M$M sucks I swear to Dog (and that includes Politico, a lot of the time)

4. Just wait until all the Congresscritters' families have to lie on rollabeds at the ER

Or maybe Thump declares a national emergency and gets them admitted to the new Walter Reed.

Otherwise: "sorry, the wards are full with gangrene/other neglected issues..."
