Summary

Congressman Mike Lawler joins the show to talk about health care policy, particularly problems with Obamacare and efforts to reform it. Lawler argues that while the Affordable Care Act has failed, simply ending subsidies without replacement reforms would hurt people. He describes negotiations in the House and Senate to extend certain tax credits while implementing reforms, and criticizes Democratic leadership for focusing on messaging instead of bipartisan solutions. The conversation ends with brief talk about House majority numbers, recent political events, and personal remarks about colleagues. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
