Johnson, R-La., worked for months to prevent this situation. His office argued Thursday that the federal health care funding from the COVID-19 era is rife with fraud and urged a no vote.
So why don’t you directly address the fraud instead of hurting 22 million of the poorest Americans, Mike?
On the floor, Republicans also argued that the lawmakers should be focused on lowering health insurance costs for the broader population, not just those enrolled in ACA plans.
Hey Mike, that’s the “repeal and replace” GOP tag line since the ACA passed in March 2010. You’ve had now nearly 16 fucking years to put forward your plan that helps the broader population. You, Mike, have been in office since Feb 2015. That’s 10 years. Where’s the legislation you’ve introduced to help “the broader population” hmm?
“Only 7% of the population relies on Obamacare marketplace plans. This chamber should be about helping 100% of Americans,” said Rep. Jason Smith, the Republican chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.
Hey Jason, you’ve been in the House since 2013. Where’s your introduced legislation that helps 100% of Americans? That 7% use the marketplace as the last resort for healthcare. These are the Americans that don’t have any other choice for healthcare, many of the poorest Americans. Help them first please! I’ve got healthcare through my employer, and while it could be better, I’m not hurting like these neighbors of mine that use the marketplace.

16 years of Nirvana fallacy and literally nothing else.
