House Republicans passed a bill they say will lower healthcare costs for a broad swath of Americans by roughly 11%.

It's a victory for Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., who has been managing deep divisions within the House GOP on the topic of healthcare as insurance premiums are set to spike across the country in a matter of weeks.

Massey is just trying to increase his celebrity to eek out a few extra dollars from whatever MSNBC is calling itself now, or CNN. He will be a regular guest to badmouth conservatives.

This is one area that I disagree with Musk on. He will be funding Massie for reelection.

Thomas Massie: chairs the Subcommittee on Administrative State, Regulatory Reform, and Antitrust.

RINOs love ObamaCare. That’s why it’s still the law.

” . . That’s why it’s still the law.”

Only someone evil or compromised (or both) would’ve done that.
