Just to make sure everyone knows: The Obamacare subsidies that haven’t been extended were passed under Biden during Covid. No Republicans voted for them. Democrats put a 5 year expiration date on the additional money.
This article explains why the subsidies shouldn’t be extended, Cato isn’t a bunch of conservatives: https://www.cato.org/blog/six-reasons-not-extend-enhanced-obamacare-subsidies
Obamacare didn’t insure more people and nobody saved $2500 as promised. Many insurance companies were put out of business consolidating power with a few big companies that have been greatly enriched. All of the people who buy their own insurance on an exchange are now forced to buy with less competition and fewer choices. Of course costs go up when that happens.
Just by winning an election Krystle Able more than doubled her income: https://blnnews.com/2025/11/12/krystle-able-screed/
Now she can’t afford health insurance for her family.
According to the Census Bureau, the average household income in Illinois us $83,211: https://data.census.gov/profile/Illinois?g=040XX00US17#income-and-poverty
Krystle wants to #TaxTheRich when she is one!
Single Payer and Universal Healthcare would be worse than Obamacare. Look at countries with either, insurance doesn’t mean care. Government rations care based on who they deem worthy. Taxes are also much higher to pay for it.
Making a lot of money sucks? Of course she isn’t looking at the private health insurance markets, she worships government.

Every time Democrats roll out a new plan, it’s like watching a toddler ‘fix’ a toy. First they break it, then they cry, then they hand it to Daddy to glue back together.
Daddy, I broke the border, can you fix it?
Daddy, I broke the economy, can you fix it?
Daddy, I broke the budget, can you fix it?
Daddy, I broke the schools, can you fix it?
Daddy, I broke safe cities, can you fix it?
Daddy I broke healthcare, can you fix it?
At this point, I’m just wondering… who’s your Daddy, Democrats?
Send her web links to some job search websites.
Not my problem and neither should it be anyone elses.
I wonder was she out along Veteran Parkway protesting AT & T and not looking for a better job with benefits?
Republican health care insurance plan:
Get sick and die. In the end you’ll be in massive medical debt.
Trump hasn’t presented any realistic Health care insurance legislation in his first administration. Trump and Republicans have presented absolutely no plan or legislation that will bring down health insurance cost.
Republicans have repeatedly tried to repeal Obamacare. They have failed.
Yet people are still uninsured and tons of medical debt. Obamacare just passed debt to future generations. that’s your plan?
What is your plan? You Have not presented absolutely no plan, just YOUR whining. The fact is the subsidies made ACA affordable for millions of people
Passing on to later generations? Having no health care insurance and access to health care will make everyone sicker including your grandchildren. Again your plan is to have people get sick and die.
Health care insurance is the Republican Achilles Heel. Food and in particular health insurance is skyrocketing. The Trump administration is doing absolutely nothing.
I remember all those dead people lying in the streets before Obamacare passed! Do you?
Since the same number are still uninsured ACA was nothing more than a failed takeover of 1/6th of the economy.
I realize facts are immaterial to power grabbers.
She wanted this! This is the result of the Affordable Care Act. She also wanted body cams and now she has them. Seems like a lesson in “Be careful what you wish for…”.
You say she is whining, but she keeps getting elected by huge margins, so I would say she is actually WINNING. You are wasting your time hyperfixating on her, and it’s weird. You platform her more than anyone else, despite hating her. Every time one of you look at her social media, you are only increasing her engagement and helping her. You are all cyber-stalking this woman for no reason other than to rage troll on this website and it’s a terrible waste of your time. Maybe you should help republicans win a local election for once or try organizing a slate of people who are actually sane and can stay awake during a forum so you can take her and her trustees out of township, but you just want to sit behind a keyboard and whine about her, every.single.damn.day. It’s pathetic at this point.
Thanks Krystle
It is a person’s civic duty to warn people about people that call themselves democrats but have shown themselves to be Socialist, Marxist, maybe even Communists. We know her by the things she says, the company she keeps and the books she reads.
Exactly This ! Able is 100 % Winning. Even local ‘trad dems’ have to defer and demure to the DSA -Able faction which grows every day.
All the gop can do is infight and pull large hollow elephants around on a trailer. And worse , they don’t even have any money 💰 to help the few electable candidates they do have.
Once the DSA gets the Sheriffs Office and States Attorney’s Office and the County Clerks Office McLean County will be even more progressive than Cook County.
it’s coming soon think , 2030ish.
2026 is the LAST chance to save our community and the already-got-theirs- elites could care less.
That’s what the rest of us are paying!
Who elected her?? We were self employed & paid at least that much for 2 adults.
Normal voters who bothered to vote!
The harsh realities of a working life is beginning to rear its ugly head. Problems here is that she didn’t experience (life smack) until her current age.
Ahh gee Krystal, just declare yourself as an illegal invader and get free health insurance. Until then, quit your bitchin’ and realize the joy of the results of your cherished marxist socialism. Those with jobs get to pay higher rates to support your beloved comrades.
