Episode 24016
Published 2 months, 1 week ago
Description
Steve sits down with Jenny Beth Martin, Honorary Chairman of Tea Party Patriots Action, as the battle over healthcare reform heats up on Capitol Hill. With House Republicans pursuing a reform-focused alternative to Democrats’ push to permanently extend Obamacare premium subsidies, Martin explains why pouring more taxpayer money into a broken system, without real reform, would be a disaster. They break down the GOP plan to expand association health plans and CHOICE arrangements, rein in pharmacy benefit managers, and lower premiums through transparency and competition, while Democrats move to force a vote on extending subsidies with the help of a few Republicans breaking ranks. A must-hear conversation on what’s at stake for patients, taxpayers, and the future of American healthcare.
