Safe to say there are tens of millions of Americans who earn below $58 grand, which includes lower and middle class earners, who most definitely qualify for the ACA.

Of course there will be "experts" who claim the Inflation Reducton Act actually increased inflation. It was enacted late in 2022. Inflation went from 9.84 in '22 to 4.06% in '23. Today it sits at 2.9%

Where I come from that's called scoreboard. It worked, obviously.
Look at my response again (I was editing it while you were responding to the unedited version) And yes it was the lower (to clarify the lower middle class not the lower class) to mid-middle class that got hit the hardest.

And again none of the Inflationary Reduction Act had measures in it designed to reduce inflation (none), on the contrary it was full of policies that any basic economics teacher will tell you contributes to inflation. That act had nothing to do with inflation coming back down.
