Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) did not hold back during his appearance on CSPAN’s “Ceasefire” program, where he criticized his own party for the impending disaster of Obamacare. He pointed out that the temporary subsidies, set to expire at the end of the year, were a creation of the Democrats, not a Republican initiative.
With the subsidies ending in 2026, the cost of healthcare for the 7% of Americans on Obamacare plans is expected to skyrocket. Despite Democrats being responsible for the temporary subsidies and the flawed Obamacare system, they are now trying to shift blame onto conservatives.
Sen. Fetterman emphasized that the Democrats must take ownership of the issue and work towards a solution. He urged for a one-year subsidy extension deal with Republicans, highlighting that the subsidies were not a Republican initiative but a Democratic one.
In a scathing attack on his party’s stance, Sen. Fetterman emphasized the urgency of the situation and the need for swift negotiations. He called for changes to be made but stressed that time is of the essence.
In a final rebellious statement, he challenged both parties to prioritize the American people over the interests of health insurance companies. The call to action is clear: it’s time to stop playing politics and start working towards a solution that benefits the people.
