Mike Johnson argues that rising healthcare costs matter more to Americans than the shutdown drama. He says Republicans included a reform in their big bill that could cut premiums by 12.7%, only for Democrats to remove it while keeping ACA subsidies untouched. For him, it’s a system “propped up with more taxpayer money” without fixing the problem. With subsidies set to expire soon, the next negotiations will decide whether Congress opts for another short-term patch or tackles real reform.
