Liberals Admit ACA Is a Disaster While Congress Funds Foreign Agendas

It’s almost comical—if it wasn’t tragic—watching liberals like Roy Cooper finally admit what conservatives have been saying for years: the Affordable Care Act isn’t affordable for hard-working Americans. After over a decade of broken promises, sky-high premiums, and endless red tape, Cooper is now throwing up his hands, blaming Republicans for refusing to bail out a broken system with more of your money. Sorry, but taxpayers shouldn’t be on the hook for another liberal boondoggle just because big government doesn’t know how to keep its own house in order.

Here’s the kicker—while Cooper and his Democrat pals complain about subsidies running dry, they turn around and shell out billions on global pet projects. Apparently, the same politicians who say there’s no money to help real Americans have no problem writing blank checks for foreign “supplementals.” For the amount Congress throws at faraway regimes, we could actually pay for healthcare that doesn’t bankrupt families at home. But the priorities never seem to line up for folks in D.C. It’s “America Last,” every single time.

Let’s get real. The Affordable Care Act was built on false promises, forced mandates, and a smug sense that government knows best. The result? Nearly 200,000 people in just one state can’t even scrape together enough to afford so-called “affordable” insurance—let alone the sky-high deductibles and fees lurking behind the fine print. Is this the progress Democrats brag about? Or is it just more hollow virtue signaling while regular people scramble to pay their bills?

This is classic liberal incompetence. They create the mess, blame conservatives for not digging them out, and then use the crisis to push even more power into Washington. Instead of streamlining costs or empowering patients, they want to double down with bigger bureaucracy and more foreign giveaways. You can always count on Democrats to care more about virtue-signaling on cable news than fixing tough problems for Americans.

Why should hard-working families pick up the tab for policies that don’t work, or leaders who refuse to prioritize them? Maybe it’s time for liberals to stop selling empty slogans and actually deliver results. But then again, if the “Affordable Care Act” isn’t affordable, what else have they lied about?
