JD Vance Thinks You're Too Dumb To See He's Lying About ACA Subsidies
In this episode, Croaky takes aim at JD Vance’s latest fairy tale — the claim that Republicans had the “foresight” to handle ACA subsidies expiring. Spoiler: they didn’t. The so-called Big Beautiful Bill hospital fund wasn’t prophecy. It was a payoff to nervous Republican senators after Medicaid cuts nearly collapsed rural hospitals.
Now Vance wants you to believe a band-aid slapped on a self-inflicted wound somehow covers millions losing subsidies. It doesn’t. Families — especially older, rural, Republican voters — will see premiums skyrocket, and rural hospitals will be left even weaker as paying patients disappear.
This isn’t conservatism. It’s theater. It’s the dumbest manifestation of Republican politics since Harding’s poker-table cronies. And when the bill lands in mailboxes, voters won’t remember the spin. They’ll remember who handed it to them.
