.Karoline Leavitt: "Democrats wrote Obamacare. They passed it without a single Republican vote. Then they ballooned it with these expensive COVID subsidies... then they doubled down extending those subsidies and setting their own expiration date right now in 2025."

Chuck Schumer complains to George Stephanopoulos that the healthcare debate is Republicans' "mess" and they're stuck "in a hole." Obamacare was written by Democrats and passed without a single GOP vote. They ballooned it with Covid subsidies—leading to higher healthcare costs in our country—extended the subsidies, and set those to expire in 2025. Chuck Schumer is a liar, and the disingenous Stephanopoulos doesn't call him out. Dems own this mess.

Let’s set the record straight on Biden’s COVID-era Obamacare subsidies: 1) These expiring subsidies benefit just 7% of Americans, yet all Americans are suffering with higher costs because of Obamacare. 2) Premiums are increasing regardless of whether these subsidies are extended, because Obamacare is bad policy and unsustainable. Premiums have already increased 221% from 2013 to 2025. 3) Biden’s COVID-era Obamacare subsidies don’t go to patients, they go straight to insurance companies — even for people making up to $400,000 a year. 4) Remember Democrats passed these subsidies twice, and extended them again. They set the expiration date. And they created the entire FAILED Obamacare system.

Obamacare (ACA) explained … Democrats passed Obamacare which made deductibles so high that you rarely ever reach them, so you pay for insurance plus out of pocket for insurance you rarely use. Designed to hurt working class to fund healthcare for deadbeats and illegal aliens. From 2014 to 2021 it was getting worse. Then Biden and the Democrats passed temporary subsidies to hide how crazy expensive ACA insurance had become. Those subsidies expire Dec 31, 2025. Now Democrats want to extend those subsidies. If they could, they would even expand the subsidies more to further hide the disaster of Obamacare. Before Obamacare health insurance companies could offer cheaper plans with certain things excluded. But Obamacare banned those cheaper plans.

Democrats are lying about Obamacare, so I called them out on CNN: 1) Premiums are increasing because the Democrats' Un-Affordable Care Act is bad policy and it is unsustainable. 2) Premiums are increasing because Congressional Democrats passed a law which included a 2026 expiration for COVID-19 subsidies. 3) These subsidies benefit just 7% of Americans, yet all Americans are suffering with higher costs because of Obamacare. 4) Americans earning 133%–400% above the poverty line keep their subsidies in 2026. That’s already permanent law and Democrats know it. 5) Democrats shut down the government because they wanted to hand $40 billion in subsidies to big insurance companies, not American families.

Democrats created Obamacare, established ACA subsidies, extended them for everyone no matter their income level, and then set the deadline for their expiration. This is a problem of their own making.

For weeks, Democrats said they wouldn't vote to end the government shutdown until Republicans agreed to health care subsidies. Then, some of those same Democrats voted to reopen the government without a deal on health subsidies.

Day 29 of the Schumer Shutdown. Democrats passed Obamacare and taxpayer-funded subsidies for insurance companies on their own. Now they’re blaming Republicans? Reopen the government. Then let’s talk.

“Shut the hell up Shift Schiff. 💥Democrats own Obamacare. ObamaCare was created and instituted by Democrats! They passed the Bill without reading it! They lied about every part of it, including AFFORDABILITY! ObamaCare was a SCAM from the beginning and now... Democrats are lying again by Blaming Republicans for THEIR failure! Funny thing about facts... not one Republican has ever Voted for ObamaCare, not one!”

Democrats created these Obamacare subsidies, and they CHOSE to make them temporary so they could prioritize tax benefits for their wealthy donors. Republicans are focused on solutions to increase access to health care, drive down costs, and rein in the rampant waste and fraud in the Obamacare system.

Democrats want to extend temporary COVID-era Obamacare subsidies for three more years, and that timeline is no accident. If they get their way, the new insurance rates for 2029 (without the subsidies) would come out a WEEK before the 2028 presidential election. They want higher rates to hit right before voters go to the polls. This is a Democrat-made crisis, and they refuse to work on real reform.

Democrats created Obamacare and passed the initial legislation with NO bipartisan support. They also created and extended the COVID-era tax credits and set the 2025 expiration date we’re facing. And yet, Democrats are putting the blame on Republicans for the crisis that Obamacare enrollees are now facing at the end of the year.

The “temporary COVID” enhanced subsidies only mask the failure of Obamacare. Premiums keep rising because of Obamacare’s faulty design. Democrats are the ones who set these subsidies to expire, not Republicans. And they should expire. I’ll be holding a hearing on Thursday assessing the damage Obamacare has inflicted on Americans.

We need to OPEN the government, and then, we can have these very important conversations about healthcare."

🚨 Hakeem Jeffries Blames Republicans for… Obamacare? You heard that right. When asked by our reporter how this is a "Republican health care crisis" despite the fact that Obamacare passed without a single Republican vote - Hakeem Jeffries doubled down. According to him, it’s Republicans’ fault that Democrat-run hospitals and clinics are closing, Medicare is collapsing, and premiums are skyrocketing. Hakeem Jeffries even dragged President Donald J. Trump into it… because apparently, Democrats never have to take responsibility for the messes they create. Reminder: Republicans didn’t write Obamacare. They voted against it. Now the Left wants to pin its failures on everyone but themselves. Classic.

Leavitt: It was called Obamacare. Why? Because Democrats and Obama implemented it and Republicans have always said it's a broken system, yes, but they caused it and now they want to shut down the government to fix it?

WATCH: History and video doesn't lie. Obama repeatedly lied about Obamacare to get it passed without a single republican vote in either house and over 60% of America was against passing it. And now Obamacare is a disaster as republicans predicted and democrats are trying to blame that disaster on republicans.

WATCH: Hakeem Jeffries is called out for Democrats' bait-and-switch on Obamacare subsidies. "this is a setup… of your own creation" "Now, you want the Republicans to do something you didn't do when you were in power?" Democrats made this mess, but they demand Republicans fix it?

Democrats are hurting people everyday. On purpose. With no remorse. They claim it’s for some noble cause. Bullshit. What they really want is to reopen the Medicaid loopholes that allow illegal immigrants to access Medicaid, and they want to spend almost $400B to prop up Obamacare subsidies that go straight to insurance companies and NOT you, the patient. And to justify it? They lie. They tell you your premiums will double if they don’t get their way. That is total bullshit. The truth is that the CBO has already scored this. The expiration of those subsidies accounts for just 8% of any premium increase. Is that worth debating? Yes, of course it is. The entire system is flawed because Democrats designed it to be flawed when they created Obamacare. We could start by talking about how subsidies should go to your personal Health Savings Account instead of insurance companies. But let’s be clear: there’s no negotiating while the government is shut down. Period. You don’t get to hold federal workers, military families, and vital services hostage just to push partisan policy demands.
