And now with the expiring tax credits, it would only get so much worse.

Exactly, and that's the big fear.

Nobody is saying that our healthcare system was healthy to begin with.

There are lots of problems that we have to resolve, lots of problems.

But the big ugly bill with almost a trillion dollars in cuts to Medicaid,

is going to cripple our healthcare system.

And if we allow, and we just can't allow these premium tax credits to expire at the end of the year, but it would just make it even worse.

You would get it so dysfunctional that it's hard to put it back together again.

There are so many important reforms that we ought to be addressing, but fixing the

chaos and damage that has put our healthcare system in crisis just in the first months of President Trump's second presidency.

We've got to fix those things first.

Well, first of all, just still anger at the big, ugly bill.

Remember, fundamentally, that was a tax measure, right?

They made these cuts to programs that working people rely on in order to pay for nearly four and a half trillion dollars in tax cuts, disproportionately helping billionaires like Trump and billionaires.

profitable corporations.

And yes, in this tax bill, they couldn't even see fit to extend a tax provision that makes people's health care more affordable, not a tax cut for working people, just tax cuts for the disproportionately benefit billionaires.

And so it is so out of touch.

You know, what's so ironic is that Trump

diagnosed the problem during his election.

He ran on bringing costs down for everyone.
