Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Rep Jason Smith, was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with guest host Jackie DeAngelis to discuss the future of Obamacare.
The video opened with a clip of reporters asking President Trump about Obamacare. The President did not want it for the long run but was open to the possibility of a short-term compromise to advance his America First agenda.
“The President backs a plan that gives money directly to Americans through health savings accounts instead of using federal funds to subsidize insurance premiums for Obamacare,” DeAngelis said.
“Thirty days til the subsidies expire. Roughly two months until we are potentially in a situation where the government can be shut down again. Not a lot of time to make inroads on serious healthcare reform,” DeAngelis said.
“As President Trump said, if he did extend the subsidies, it would be with certain restrictions. It would be to buy some time to be able to move forward,” DeAngelis continued.
“Walk me through how all of this is going to work?” DeAngelis asked.
“What Republicans are looking at is how to bring down the cost of healthcare for all Americans. How to bring down the premiums for all Americans and creating more access for all Americans,” Smith said.
Congressman Smith explained that Obamacare is filled with fraud. He said that insurance companies were making money off the subsidies even though not every recipient was using the insurance.
“When you look at Obamacare, you can see all the fraud that’s within it,” Rep Smith said.
“In ’24, of the 24 million people on the Obamacare exchanges, 12 million did not even have one medical claim,” Smith explained.
“They clearly didn’t even know that they had health insurance, but guess what? Those insurance companies, they sure were subsidized from the federal government,” Rep Smith explained.
“Premiums have gone up 80 percent since Obamacare was passed. A hundred fifty different hospitals have closed since Obamacare was passed. We have to do things differently,” Smith said.
“The answer is not a covid era program that was created in ’21. We need to look at some real, real reforms. Real changes,” Rep Smith explained.
