New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Tuesday swept all three of his endorsed congressional primaries, ousting two sitting members of Congress. The socialist movement now controls more of New York’s congressional delegation than it did two days ago.
Mamdani’s platform of city-owned grocery stores, a rent freeze on 1 million apartments, and a $30 minimum wage has a word for what it is. Price controls. Tuesday’s sweep signals the socialist movement is growing. The New Democrat Coalition is already pushing the same agenda in Congress.
The New Democrat Coalition released its “Affordability Agenda” in February. Among their initiatives: prescription price caps, directing the DOJ to target grocery store “bad actors,” and a bill banning electronic shelf labels in large grocery stores. They aren’t the first to promise lower costs through government intervention. Obamacare made the same promise in 2010. Reorganizing the individual insurance market increased costs, reduced access, and reduced competition. Obamacare premiums rose 129% from 2013 to 2019. In 2026, they rose another 26%. Enhanced subsidies cost taxpayers $14 billion per year. Nowhere is the socialist agenda more dangerous than in healthcare.

A 2021 study published in JAMA found that out-of-pocket healthcare expenses increased at an average of 3.4% a year from 2000-2009 and 1.9% a year from 2010-2018, after the ACA.

"Reduced access" is BS:
"Since the ACA’s major coverage provisions were implemented in 2013, the number of people with health insurance coverage has grown by more than 38 million, and the nation’s uninsured rate has nearly halved, falling from 14.4% in 2013 to 7.9% in 2023."

Can you write like a normal human, we are chatting at starbucks..Talk To Uds!!!!!
@AverageJoe1 saidOK, you're grossly ignorant about the effect of the ACA and it did the opposite of what your propaganda sources claim.

Better?
@no1marauder saidThankyou. I am not saying it was a failure, but not all promises were kept. Could keep your doctor, you would save $2500 when they lost more than that, such as that. I will defer to your 'studies', I just wish you would write normal posts.
OK, you're grossly ignorant about the effect of the ACA and it did the opposite of what your propaganda sources claim.

I will give you this topic, you win, it was not a failure, you are hard to read. I try to be simple in my writing..I will let YOU decide if I am simple.
@no1marauder saidOK>. As you speak about the narcisstic Obama (you think Trump is bad@!???!) I might say that all he really ever did was ACA and getting rid of Osama bin Laden. A brave call on his part. I don't think he ever did anything else except build this absolutely horrible edifice in Chicago. While he was building that Trump was closing our border and saving our country, which SCOTUS blessed him with just yesterday.........
