"Let’s start with the Speaker of the House Mike Johnson who fabricates a story about his party’s attitude toward healthcare which strains credulity:
"So, they created a red herring. A red herring is a distraction. They decided that they would pick a fight on healthcare. Let me look right into the camera and tell you very clearly: Republicans are the ones concerned about healthcare. Republicans are the party working around the clock every day to fix healthcare. This is not talking points for us. We’ve done it. A big part of the one Big Beautiful Bill [TM], the working family’s tax cut, was to fix healthcare. Healthcare is broken in America. It’s too expensive. The quality of care needs to rise. We need more access for more people, and we have lots of ideas to do that.
"None of that is true. I’m getting tired of saying that phrase, but it continues to be relevant anytime somebody like Johnson or Donald or Karoline Leavitt or Stephen Miller or JD Vance opens their mouths. The Republicans have fought the Affordable Care Act for years. During Donald’s first term, they tried to repeal it dozens of times with no ideas for a replacement plan, not even concepts of a plan. Donald is in his 10th year as the leader of the Republican Party; he’s in his fifth year as the person in the Oval Office, and he has nothing to show for it. There is no healthcare plan from the Republicans. The Affordable Care Act could be better, certainly, but it is far better than anything we ever had. And it is infinitely better than the nothing the Republicans want to offer the American people."
