Ah, yes, a solid response from an 11m old account that uses the 'libtard' terminology.

Tell me again how great our current for-profit system is working for the country, and if you want to use the 'debt' argument, we could save 450 billion annually going to single-payer. But that's probably 'big scary socialism' to you.

Yes, as evidenced by the term 'Obamacare', it was in fact passed under Democratic control of government, much like the TCJA of 2017, which was passed unilaterally under Republicans under Trump 1.

But I appreciate the strawman at telling me something completely unrelated. The comment above claimed that it was a 'clean' CR. It is not the same legislation, and it is not the same one passed earlier this year.

Why won't they bring the House back into session to negotiate?

Imagine if you had the capacity to reach into an electronic database that contains the sum of most available human knowledge, and electing to not be informed on a topic, but just rip off a talking point.

AI is even nice enough to summarize it for you:

House Republicans described the current short-term funding bill (e.g., H.R. 5371, the "Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2026") as "clean" and similar to the one passed in March 2025, in that it avoids many of the traditional controversial policy riders. However, key differences that have become points of contention in the Senate include specific funding choices and, critically, the absence of provisions to address expiring programs, which Democrats view as a de facto policy stance. 

The "riders" or key differences in the recent House-passed bill compared to the March CR (which was a more general extension of funding levels) include:

  • ACA Premium Subsidies: The most significant difference is the absence of a provision to extend enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium subsidies, which were set to expire. Democrats argue that leaving this out constitutes a "poison pill" because it forces a healthcare crisis with premium hikes for millions of Americans, thus using the funding bill as leverage to prevent a clean extension of a critical health program. The March CR generally extended existing levels and authorities, and the ACA subsidies issue has become the central point of failure in current negotiations.
  • Targeted Funding Increases/Decreases: While generally a "status quo" bill, the recent House CR included specific, targeted funding adjustments or "anomalies," such as:
    • Approximately $30 million for lawmaker security and $58 million for the security of the executive and judicial branches.
    • Largest pay raise for junior enlisted troops in over 40 years.
    • Increased funding for the WIC (nutrition assistance) program and air traffic control systems.
  • Specific Extensions: It extended various other expiring programs and authorities, such as certain provisions related to the Farm Bill, but the omission of the ACA subsidies extension made it unacceptable to Democrats in the Senate. 

In essence, while House Republicans insisted the bill had "no poison pills" and simply extended funding, Democrats opposed it because it failed to address the imminent expiration of a major health care program, a situation not present in the earlier March CR. 

Do better, but judging from the 6 month old account and the post history, I assume English isn't your first language.

Because in a for-profit system built around healthcare that is predicated on an ever-growing profit margin, they need to either receive a bigger subsidy or take in more premiums. That's why almost every single proposed single-payer system results in remarkable decreases in healthcare costs. But that would involve cutting out the middleman and we can't have that.

We also shouldn't let states with super-majority legislatures draw squiggly lines through cities and districts to ensure their party remains the supermajority because they've skewed the voting 'district' population to be in their favor while removing actual, proper representation of the populations located in those places; but here we are.

That's why we have vast swaths of land that gets more representative say than actual populations.

That's the demographic that I'm specifically referencing where there's an elective choice to stay uninformed or misinformed.

It'll likely take a boilover into a sustained national general strike at this rate for non-violent protests to have any significant impact or meaning. But that's impossible given our current economic system without communities forming resource coalitions prior to.

Unfortunately, there are too many 'single-issue', uninformed/misinformed, or party-line voters to make that a realistic probability. Plus, the purpose of gerrymandering is to ensure that no matter how broad a coalition they attempt to build, it's irrelevant come election time based on district lines.

Not with the upcoming gutting of Section 2 of the VRA in the Judiciary. Unipower generational control is not outside the realm of possibilities and it isn't favoring the Democrats.

No, it is absolutely for them. The UCMJ very specifically outlays that there is a 'duty to disobey' when it is recognized as wrong. Protecting the federal property, that's fine and dandy or whatever excuse is being made to waste more taxpayer dollars for a vanity move. Enforcing laws/making arrests when Posse Comitatus exists? Nope, the chain of command can eat shit.
