Congresswoman, welcome back.

Great to be on. Thank you, Brian. What a wonderful day.

Yeah. First off, what do you expect to happen on health care?

Look, this is a huge problem. Obviously, you know, the Affordable Care Act was passed 15 years ago on a lie.

The founder of it, the guy who was the architect, as Jonathan Gruber famously said, you said, you know, we, if it weren't for the stupidity of the American people and the lack of transparency, we never could have gotten this through. The CBO wouldn't have scored it in a way that would have been beneficial, and we couldn't have gotten the vote. So guess what we have? We have a disaster created by the Democrats, and we continue to subsidize the failure of Obamacare.

And that's what worries me as we go into.

We have about 30 days, about 29 days left until this continuing resolution comes up.

And I'm guaranteeing you that the Democrats are going to use this issue again to justify

shutting down the government, using it as a hostage situation to make us give more money to insurance companies,

to continue to make the affordable care act even more expensive for the small businesses that are the ones that are suffering the most from it.

And I can tell you this from personal experience, our family business has only paid even more,

and it really threatens even the stability of all of us.

If we continue to subsidize insurance companies and the middlemen, we're going to continue to have a very unsuccessful insurance program without healthcare

and that the relationship between patients and doctors, which has been eviscerated pretty much by Obamacare, is going to continue to get worse.

So I know it's hard for people to vote against these subsidies, but it's the only way we're going to put

sanity into the system. We have got to stop the insanity, which is hurting our small businesses.

It's counterintuitive to many, and we feel like we need to placate the Democrats, but it only makes it worse.

So right now, the House this week, I guess next week, we'll bring a vote on a three-year clean extension.

Is that going to get Republican support?

Well, the clean extension that we're looking at was, I think you're referring to, is part of what was a resolution that was signed by the Democrats on the floor.

And some of the Republicans got it out there.

I can't vote for a clean reauthorization if it's part of a continuing resolution.
