which removed a cap on eligibility for subsidies above 400 percent of the poverty level
This is the opposite of what i said. I dont make too much to qualify, i dont make enough to qualify.
States were supposed to take increased funding and expand Medicaid access for people outside the income range for ACA at the same time as the increased subsidies.
Im aware. This happened 14 years ago. He campaigned on closing this gap, he has not mentioned it since elected.
And I’m saying you’re wrong and completely ignoring the actions he took to address it. It was mentioned. States were to expand Medicaid in conjunction with his expanding ACA explicitly to handle situations like you brought up.
His proposed budget involves $150 billion earmarked for Medicaid explicitly to expand it to cover people in your situation where the 10 states did not expand coverage as they were supposed to after his American Rescue Plan Act in 2021 and Inflation Reduction Act in 2022. This was not 14 years ago. That was 3 and 2 respectively. And the budget is being debated currently.

“Expansion of Medicaid was a key aspect of the ACA when it was signed into law by President Barack Obama in March 2010”
He would have to be quite a fool to make the same mistake again of leaving it up to the states to expand Medicaid
