A WARNING FROM THE SPEAKER

Speaker Mike Johnson didn’t hold back when he claimed Democrats attempted to slip a major policy extension into the latest funding bill. As Congress rushed to prevent a shutdown, he argued that the move would only benefit wealthy insurance companies while raising premiums. Johnson insists Republicans had real reforms ready — reforms he says would have lowered healthcare costs…

Speaker Mike Johnson didn’t mince words when he argued that Democrats tried to extend pandemic-era subsidies through the latest funding bill. He framed the move as one that would primarily benefit large insurance companies while doing little for ordinary families struggling with rising healthcare premiums. According to Johnson, House Republicans had already proposed reforms aimed at lowering costs by more than 12 percent, but those provisions were removed during negotiations. For him, this wasn’t just a political disagreement — it was evidence of two fundamentally different approaches to healthcare policy.

As the Senate advances its own version of the funding plan, Johnson made it clear that Republicans intend to push hard for changes when Congress reconvenes in the coming months. With Affordable Care Act subsidies set to expire at the end of the year, he argued that continuing them without broader reform is not a sustainable solution. His message emphasized renewed efforts to present cost-cutting ideas, encourage bipartisan discussion, and explain to the public why he believes subsidizing insurers alone cannot fix long-standing problems in the healthcare system.
