Trump voter Angel Mayberry took to Facebook Monday to express her complete and utter shock that her healthcare premiums skyrocketed after she voted for a president who spent eight years promising to dismantle the healthcare system.
Mayberry, who enthusiastically supported Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill that cut healthcare subsidies while providing tax breaks to corporations and the wealthy, reported that her monthly premiums inexplicably jumped from $75 to $165 for her and her husband. The small business owner seemed genuinely perplexed that the legislation she championed would affect her personally.
"Tell me why you just jacked up my health insurance premium," Mayberry wrote in her post, apparently addressing the consequences of her own voting choices as if they were a sentient being with a customer service department.
The premium increase comes after Trump signed his signature legislative achievement in July that extended four trillion dollars in tax cuts primarily benefiting corporations and wealthy Americans while conspicuously declining to extend the enhanced premium tax credits that had kept healthcare affordable for over twenty-two million Americans. Political analysts noted this was roughly equivalent to ordering a pizza with extra leopards and then filing a complaint when leopards showed up.
According to healthcare policy experts, Mayberry is one of approximately twenty-four million Americans whose premiums are expected to more than double in 2026 due to the expiration of subsidies that Trump and congressional Republicans chose not to renew. The average marketplace enrollee will see their out-of-pocket costs increase by over one hundred fourteen percent, marking the largest premium spike in the history of the Affordable Care Act.
Mayberry's Facebook post included multiple angry emojis and the phrase "This has rubbed me raw," suggesting she may have expected different results from voting for a candidate whose healthcare platform consisted primarily of the word "repeal" followed by increasingly vague promises about concepts of plans.
The One Big Beautiful Bill, which Trump signed on July fourth while declaring it the most popular legislation ever passed, prioritized funding for immigration enforcement, military spending, and permanent tax cuts for high earners over maintaining healthcare affordability for middle-class families. Republicans celebrated the bill as a historic achievement in fiscal responsibility, noting that cutting healthcare subsidies for working families would save approximately enough money to fund tax breaks for people who summer in the Hamptons.
Mayberry concluded her post by asking if anyone else had experienced similar premium increases, apparently unaware that she was part of the largest coordinated act of economic self-sabotage since the invention of the payday loan. At press time, Mayberry was reportedly considering switching to a plan with higher deductibles while continuing to express confusion about how any of this could have possibly happened.
