Listen, I think virtually all Americans could agree that there's an issue with our healthcare system that needs extreme solving.
The Republican plan, if they were to say it, would be to remove Obamacare to make it so people with pre-existing conditions could get denied coverage like they were before Obamacare, to end the expanded coverage that Obamacare gave, to take away the marketplace, to remove the subsidies as we're seeing here.
happen right now to remove the block on lifetime limits.
Like there were so many things that Obamacare implemented that were game changers for Americans.
And I feel like still enough people in this country don't even give it enough credit, but you know, the majority of this country does
have a positive opinion on the Affordable Care Act.
Could it have been better?
Could there have been a public option?
Yes, that was voted down at the last second.
There's so many things that could have been done there.
But Mike Johnson is spreading a false narrative.
He's acting like insurance premiums weren't rising before Obamacare.
In the 10 years before Obamacare became law, I think insurance premiums rose like 200%.
And so now they're saying that insurance premiums have went up 60% since Obamacare.
which sounds like a lot and it's still healthcare is way too expensive for americans but that's significantly less than it was it's growing at a slower pace in fact if you put it next to things like housing if you put it next to things like cars and you could food prices like the the price of health care is actually increased at a much lower rate than all of those things thanks to the affordable care act mike johnson has no plan here donald trump has no plan here
And the words he uses are just so sleazy and slimy.
And it's so that he can act like, oh, I care.
I'm Mike Johnson.
We're just trying to do our best.
But these pesky Democrats.
