YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMichigan Republican Representative Lisa McClain said any plan to address the cost of insurance under Obamacare will have to deal with both the affordability of premiums and the waste, fraud and abuse in the system.
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.
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.
House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries blasted Republicans for refusing to negotiate on an extension of the subsidies and accused them of working to undermine the Affordable Care Act’s insurance exchanges.
“They have zero interest in sitting down and finding a path forward,” Jeffries said on Bloomberg Television Friday. “This is the same group of people who have tried to repeal the Affordable Care Act 70 times.”
