David Axelrod, the Chicago Machine Democrat considered the \u2018architect\u2019 of Obama\u2019s 2008 presidential run, recently complained on Twitter\/X about the rising cost of healthcare premiums under the Affordable Care Act or Obamacare as it\u2019s widely known.<\/p>\n

Other Twitter\/X users ripped into Axelrod, pointing out his involvement in this issue.<\/p>\n

This has become a running theme among Democrats who desperately want the country to forget that Democrats passed Obamacare on an entirely party-line vote while they controlled everything in Washington during Obama\u2019s first term.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Here is Axelrod\u2019s tweet:<\/p>\n

\n

Through family, I heard about a couple in WI who started a small business and were planning to expand. Now, with their ACA premiums TRIPLED due to congressional inaction, they’ve had to scrap plans to expand & grow. I’m sure that scenario is repeating itself all over the U.S.<\/p>\n

\u2014 David Axelrod (@davidaxelrod) February 11, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

FOX News<\/a> explains how this unfolded in recent months:<\/p>\n

\n

The U.S. entered into a government shutdown on Oct. 1 when Democrats refused to advance spending legislation unless Congress renewed expiring COVID-19-era Obamacare subsidies. However, after weeks of stalled talks, a handful of Senate Democrats voted to reopen the government without securing any extension to the enhanced assistance.<\/p>\n

Those subsidies expired at the end of 2025, returning millions of Obamacare policyholders to pre-COVID levels of federal assistance. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Here are some of the responses Axelrod received:<\/p>\n

\n

If only we could identify who wrote this law in the first place!<\/p>\n

\u2014 Scott Jennings (@ScottJenningsKY) February 11, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

So what you\u2019re saying is the Affordable Care Act is not actually affordable?<\/p>\n

If only we knew who came up with this system\u2026. https:\/\/t.co\/UdMzYN1u79<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Austin Harris (@AustinHarrisIA) February 12, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

You know you\u2019re David Axelrod, right?<\/p>\n

\u2014 Magills (@magills_) February 12, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

You and Obama lied about Obamacare. You destroyed Healthcare in this country.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Kerry \"\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\" (@K1erry) February 12, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

That’s weird Mr. Axelrod, I don’t remember your concern back when the ACA was passed and I lost my insurance, the only doctors my kids knew, and the replacement Obamacare insurance was TRIPLE the price with TRIPLE the deductible.<\/p>\n

You hypocrite\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2014 Dan Bowen (@ScotchGuyDan) February 12, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Here\u2019s David Axelrod in 2009 talking about how great Obamacare is going to be for the American people.<\/p>\n

\n

David Axelrod, 2026: People\u2019s ACA premiums are tripling.<\/p>\n

David Axelrod, pushing the ACA in 2009: “I have no doubt that once this bill is passed and implemented, the American people will appreciate it.<\/p>\n

It will improve the lives of people all across this country.” https:\/\/t.co\/AqaKw5XPTp<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/pzyESdjx5W<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) February 12, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Democrats have no shame. They were warned not to pass Obamacare. Now they want to blame everyone but themselves.<\/p>\n
