Rep. Keith Self, a U.S. Congressman, used his social media platform on December 9, 2025, to voice criticism of the Affordable Care Act and call for changes to immigration policy regarding work visas.
In a post at 16:02 UTC, Rep. Self wrote: “Despite record taxpayer spending on Obamacare premium subsidies—exceeding $130 billion annually—enrollees still pay average deductibles of $5,000 and out-of-pocket maximums of $21,000 while 1 in 5 of their medical claims are denied. Obamacare has been a failure. We shouldn’t”.

Later, at 17:29 UTC, Rep. Self addressed employment visa policies with another statement: “The Optional Practical Training (OPT) work visa program—which provides employers with significant tax incentives for hiring foreign graduates over American workers—needs to end. Our immigration policies must prioritize American talent and job opportunities FIRST. https://t.co/v4ynio2sxZ”.
