Summary
<p>Watch Joe and Kailey LIVE every day on YouTube: <a href="http://bit.ly/3vTiACF">http://bit.ly/3vTiACF</a>.<br /><br />Speaker Mike Johnson is pushing to unveil a Republican health care bill in the coming days for a vote by the end of the month, but the move is unlikely to resolve a congressional deadlock over expiring Obamacare subsidies. <br /><br />The GOP plan is likely to include ideas the party has floated in the past to create less comprehensive plans to compete with Obamacare and to divert premium tax credits for the insurance policies toward tax-sheltered savings accounts individuals can use to cover non-premium out-of-pocket costs. <br /><br />Bloomberg Washington Correspondents Joe Mathieu and Kailey Leinz deliver insight and analysis on the latest headlines from the White House and Capitol Hill, including conversations with influential lawmakers and key figures in politics and policy. On this edition, Joe speaks with:</p> <ul> <li>House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.</li> <li>Bloomberg Senior Strategist Edward Harrison.</li> <li>Republican Congresswoman Lisa McClain of Michigan.</li> <li>Constitutional Lawyer Robert McWhirter.</li> <li>Stonecourt Capital Partner Rick Davis and Podium Strategies Founder Yemisi Egbewole.</li> </ul><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
