Summary

The Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, was supposed to cut premiums, reduce the uninsured population, and provide the option to keep your plan and your doctor, but it has fallen short in all these areas. “We have 30 million Americans today that will tell you that they cannot afford their health insurance,” says Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers on today’s podcast. McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., joins the show to share how lawmakers are seeking to improve our health care system, bring medical costs down, and remedy the issues created by Obamacare. Also on today’s show, we remember those who have given their lives to defend our freedom with President Ronald Reagan’s 1986 Memorial Day speech delivered from Arlington National Cemetery. Plus, we read your letters to the editor and share a good news story about how one California church is meeting both physical and spiritual needs during COVID-19. Enjoy the show! Hosted on Acast.
