YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In this episode of The Miller Report: Real Clear Journalism, Maggie Miller sits down with lead investigator James Varney to unpack his latest deep dive into Obamacare subsidies and the billions of taxpayer dollars tied to them. This as Trump and top Democrats meet to discuss Obamacare with a looming government shutdown.

Under the Biden administration, enhanced subsidies made coverage free or nearly free for millions—sending enrollment soaring. As it stands, the subsidies are set to expire. Democrats want to make them permanent, while Republicans push to let them lapse. We discuss the subsidies, concerns over rampant fraud, and what the future of Obamacare may look like.
