Shutdown Politics Favor Keeping the Obamacare Subsidies….

Democratic Lawmakers have seen their poll numbers INCREASE within the party as the Govt. Shutdown keeps going along….

Increased healthcare cost combined with people not getting paid WILL probably force Republicnas , including Trump to go ahead keep the subsidies to get the Democrats in the Senate votes for the spendinmg bills held up….

In a addition?

Next years Midterm campaigning IS due to begin soon and GOPer’s in Blue and Purple districts along with Red State’s reliant on Obamacare help are gonna have to think about keeping their jobs…..

 

Steve Jarding, a former Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee adviser and Democratic strategist, said the shutdown is a “danger to both” parties.

“The trending line is initially people are blaming Republicans. That seems normal to me … because they control everything,” he said. “Initially the polls were worse for the Republicans, now they’re getting a little worse for the Democrats.”

But he said if the shutdown drags into November, when the enrollment period for the Affordable Care Act opens, the rising cost of health insurance will start to hit millions of Americans and that will put tremendous pressure on Republicans to cut a deal.

“When these cuts [to subsidies] start coming in November, I think, ‘Boy, things are going to hit the fan,’” he said.

A memo by McLaughlin & Associates, the Trump-allied pollster, warned that “protecting the enhanced premium tax credits could be a major wedge issue” in next year’s election and “if Republicans refuse to protect the healthcare tax credits, they will be giving Democrats a big election issue advantage.”

That type of data has Republican pollsters, such as Ayres, predicting that Republicans may give Democrats some ground on extending the Affordable Care Act’s subsidies, even though the majority of the Senate and House GOP conferences oppose doing so.

“There are a number of Republicans starting with the president who would like to do something to extend the ObamaCare health care subsidies, at least for people on the lower-end of the income scale. So, it’s not unreasonable to think that there will be some sort of agreement to at least address those health care subsidies before they expire at the end of the year,” he said….
