Prospects look dim for Congress to agree to an extension of ObamaCare’s enhanced subsidies, as Republicans run headlong toward a December cliff without a clear plan to break their fall.

GOP leaders are trying to coalesce around a unified path on health care, but it’s looking increasingly likely the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) enhanced subsidies are not going to be part of it.

A growing number of conservative groups and pollsters have been warning Republicans about the political dangers of letting the subsidies expire, and some lawmakers are taking those warnings to heart.

    To summarize:

    • The Republicans have no real plans to fix health care. The only thing they’ve thought up so far is an even bigger handout to Visa and MasterCard as well as other rich/incredibly profitable/unnecessary middlemen companies that handle Health Savings Account plans. Note: The more money you make, the more money you save via HSA plans!
    • The Democrats have no real plans to fix health care. The only thing they’ve thought of is to extend the Republican band-aid known as Romneycare the Obamacare subsidies which will only slightly delay the inevitable, on-going collapse of health care in the United States.
