"In a segment on The Ingraham Angle on Friday, Johnson discussed the newly unveiled GOP healthcare plan, meant to address rising fears over increased costs if Affordable Care Act subsidies are allowed to expire at the end of the year. Healthcare was a central issue in the recent government shutdown, with Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) promising a vote on an ACA subsidy extension proposal as part of a deal with Democrats to reopen the federal government."
"INGRAHAM: How do you avoid getting blamed for this? The same kind of thing happened in the shutdown in October. We all know what they promised on Obamacare. It was all a lie. At the time, I fought against it morning, noon, and night three hours a day on the radio. So they were lying then, and we knew they were lying because the numbers didn't add up. But now, the left is blaming you and Republicans. It's your fault."
A newly unveiled GOP healthcare plan aims to address fears of higher costs if Affordable Care Act subsidies expire at year-end. The plan would allow a separate vote on subsidies but does not itself extend ACA subsidies. Healthcare was a central issue in a recent government shutdown and prompted a promise of a Senate vote on a subsidy extension as part of a reopening deal. Multiple coalitions in both chambers have since introduced competing proposals, but none have passed. Passage in the House remains uncertain as several Republican lawmakers express concern about political fallout and midterm election consequences. Media narratives and public blame dynamics are intensifying.
